Beyond 3 and 4 came 5:
... Nut, whom the Greeks sometimes identified with Rhea, was
goddess of the sky, but it was debatable if in historical times
she was the object of a genuine cult. She was Geb's twin sister
and, it was said, married him secretly and against the will of
Ra. Angered, Ra had the couple brutally separated by Shu and
afterwards decreed that Nut could not bear a child in any given
month of any year. Thoth, Plutarch tells us, happily had pity on
her. Playing draughts with the Moon, he won in the course of
several games a seventy-second part of the Moon's light with
which he composed five new days. As these five intercalated days
did not belong to the official Egyptian calendar of three
hundred and sixty days, Nut was thus able to give birth
successively to five children: Osiris, Haroeris (Horus), Set,
Isis and Nepthys ...

more than one word is confounded in alo.
The significations which appear in Southeast
Polynesia are most likely derived from a
Tongafiti alo and do not appear in
Nuclear Polynesia. The alo belly and
alo chief which do occur in Nuclear
Polynesia are also probably Tongafiti, for
in Samoa and Tonga they are honorific and
applied only to folk of rank, a good
indication of borrowing by the Proto-Samoans
from Tongafiti masters. Churchill. In the
Hawaiian group, the western portion or side
of an island was called 'the front', ke
alo, of the land, and the eastern side
was called 'the back', ke kua. The
reason of such designations must be sought
in the fact of the arrival of the
inhabitants from the west. Fornander.
... Ira got up,
climbed up [he ea], went on, and
reached Ruhi Hepii. He drilled a hole into
the stone. After the hole was deep enough,
he took the ornament (rei) and put it
into the hole so that the shiny side (rapa)
was turned outward. [He gave the name Ruhi
Hepii.]
He turned around, climbed down [he turu],
went on, and entered the cave of Pu

unreliable), which Métraux was still able to
describe (ME:189), and which was not
destroyed until 1941, when the stones were

Métraux has Tahai where Heyerdahl has
Taha. And Ana-kai-tangata

Hanga-piko, where we can read piko

would expect to find A(pi)na Nui (=

It grew light. On the second day, Ira said
again, 'Go back to riding the waves!'. They
all went back out there.Ira got up [he ea

... One of the parallels
suggested by Heyerdahl is that between
Polynesian pito 'navel'…and Quito,
the very ancient Ecuadorian capital. In
Hawaiian, the equator is defined as ke
ala i ka piko a wakea 'the road to the
navel (or birth-place) of Wakea (=
Light)', where piko is the regular
reflex of PPN *pito. Thus the
possibility should exist to postulate
kito, meaning 'navel', as a word of the
pre-Incaic Andean language(s), to be used as
a place-name later and therefore preserved
today. The question remains open whether
there could be - as in the Hawaiian example
- any connection with the equator crossing
the area. (The Incas' ancient capital,
Kosco or Cuzco, meant 'navel'
too.) ... |

... Apami-Atsa ('Child of Waters', θ Virginis) at 13h maybe should be contrasted with Apam Napat ('Grandson of Waters') ... θ is on the front of the garment, below the girdle ... Moderns have no name for it, but in the Surya Siddhanta it was Apami-Atsa, the Child of the Waters ... Apam Napat is an eminent figure of the Indo-Iranian pantheon. In Hinduism, Apām Napāt is the god of fresh water, such as in rivers and lakes. In Zoroastrianism, Apąm Napāt is also a divinity of water ... Apām Napāt in Sanskrit and Apąm Napāt in Avestan mean 'grandson of waters' ... Sanskrit and Avestan napāt ('grandson') are cognate to Latin nepōs and English nephew, but the name Apām Napāt has also been compared to Etruscan Nethuns and Celtic Nechtan and Roman Neptune. In Yasht 19 of the Avesta Apąm Napāt appears as the Creator of mankind. Here, there is an evident link between the glory of sovereignty (Khvarenah) and Apąm Napāt who protects Khvarenah as the royal glory of Iranian kings. Apām Napāt is sometimes, for example in Rigveda book 2 hymn 35 verse 3, described as a fire-god who originates in water ... The reference to fire may have originally referred to flames from natural gas or oil seepages surfacing through water, as in a fire temple at Surakhany near Baku in Azerbaijan ... There is a conjecture that the word 'naphtha' came (via Greek, where it meant any sort of petroleum) from the name 'Apampat' ...

... Once upon a time there was an old woman who owned a great potato field (mara) where she planted her potatoes in spring and harvested them in autumn. She was famous all around for her many varieties of wonderful potatoes, and she had enough of them to sell at the market place. She planted her potatoes 7 in a row, placing her foot in front of her as a measure from one potato to the next. Then she marked the place with a bean - which would also give nourishment to the surrounding potatoes. Next she changed variety and planted 7 more followed by another bean, and this was the pattern she followed until all her 214 varieties had been put down in their proper places. She had drawn a map which she followed and from where each sort of potato could be located at the proper time for its harvest ... |

... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ... |

noon, and afternoon - Kakahi-aka,

Awakea, for Ao-akea, the plain
full day; and Auina-la, the decline

intervals of time, viz.: (1.) Kihi,
at 6 P.M., or about sunset; (2.) Pili,
between sunset and midnight; (3) Kau,

Kuukuu. Kuukuu said, 'Promise me, my
friends, that you will not abandon me!' They all
replied, 'We could never
abandon you!' They stayed there twenty-seven [27]
days in Oromanga. Everytime Kuukuu
asked, 'Where are you, friends?' they immediately
replied in one voice, 'Here we are!' They all sat
down and thought. They had an idea and Ira
spoke, 'Hey, you! Bring the round stones (from the
shore) and pile them into six heaps of stones!' One
of the youths said to Ira, 'Why do we want
heaps of stone?' Ira replied, 'So that we can
all ask the stones to do something.' They took (the
material) for the stone heaps (pipi horeko)
and piled up six heaps of stone at the outer edge of
the cave. Then they all said to the stone heaps,
'Whenever he calls, whenever he calls for us, let
your voices rush (to him) instead of the six (of us)
(i.e., the six stone heaps are supposed to be
substitutes for the youths). They all drew back to
profit (from the deception) (? ki honui) and
listened. A short while later, Kuukuu called.
As soon as he had asked, 'Where are you?' the voices
of the stone heaps replied, 'Here we are!' All (the
youths) said, 'Hey, you! That was well done!' ...
KUPA, v. Haw., to dig out, hollow out,

Sanskr., kûpa, a well, a pit.; kûpa-kara,
a well-digger; kub-ja, humpbacked, crooked;
kumbha, a pot, jar. Benfey (Sanskr. Dict.)
refers the two latter to a lost verb kubh,
with an original signification of 'to be crooked'.
He offers no etymon, however, for kûpa, well,
pit. The Polynesians reconcile the two. The Sanskrit
kûpa finds its kindred in the Hawaiian and
Tahitian kupa, and the Sanskrit kumbha,
ku-ja, and kubh, with a primary sense
of 'crooked', refer themselves to the Fijian cuva,
'to stoop, low down', a sense now lost within the
Polynesian dialects proper.

... The 'sun symbols' in the skirt
can possibly be understood to
represent the days of summer.
Although Posnansky reconstructed
their number as 182 I believe he was
wrong. Only 94 + 83 = 177 are
visible, and the extrapolated 5 are
not necessary. The reason is that
177 = 6 * 29.5 or half a year as
defined by synodic lunar months.
On the other
hand, the 'sun symbols' can
alternatively be read as double
days, because each symbol has 2
rings. Maybe this is a better way to
interpret the skirt. The whole year
will then be covered and the number
of days will be 188 + 166 = 354. And
the non-visible 5 symbols can
represent 10 extracalendrical days,
resulting in a satisfying 354 + 10 =
364 ...
... When they
arrived at the place where Hine
nui lay asleep with her legs
apart and they could see those
flints that were set between her
thighs, Maui said to his
companions: 'Now, my little friends,
when you see me crawl into the body
of this old chieftainess, whatever
you do, do not laugh. When I have
passed right through her and am
coming out of her mouth, then you
can laugh if you want to. But not
until then,
whatever you do.' ... So Maui
turned himself into a moko
huruhuru, a kind of caterpillar
that glistens. It was agreed that
this looked best, and so Maui
started forth, with comical
movements. The little birds now did
their best to comply with Maui's
wish. They sat as still as they
could, and held their beaks shut
tight, and tried not to laugh. But
it was impossible. It was the way
Maui went in that gave them the
giggles, and in a moment little
tiwaiwaka the fantail could no
longer contain himself. He laughed
out loud, with his merry, cheeky
note, and danced about with delight,
his tail flickering and his beak
snapping. Hine nui awoke with
a start. She realised what was
happening, and in a moment it was
all over with Maui. By the
way of rebirth he met his end ...

number for the Julian spring equinox). 364 -
84 = 280 (October 7) = 3 days before

... Yam is the common name for some species
in the genus Dioscorea (family
Dioscoreaceae). They are cultivated for
the consumption of their starchy tubers in
Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania.
They are used in a similar fashion to
potatoes and sweet potatoes. There are
hundreds of cultivars among the cultivated
species. The word yam comes from
Portuguese inhame or Spanish ñame,
which both ultimately derive from the Wolof
word nyam, meaning 'to sample' or
'taste'. Yam tubers can grow up to 2.5
metres in length (Huxley 1992) and weigh up
to 70 kg (150 pounds). The yam has a rough
skin which is difficult to peel, but which
softens after heating. Yam skins vary in
color from dark brown to light pink. The
majority of the yam is composed of a much
softer substance known as the 'meat'. This
substance ranges in color from white to
bright orange in ripe yams. Yams are a
primary agricultural commodity in West
Africa and New Guinea. They were first
cultivated in Africa and Asia about 8000
B.C. To this day, the yams are important for
survival in these regions. Yam tubers can be
stored for four to six months without
refrigeration, which makes them a valuable
resource for the yearly period of food
scarcity at the beginning of the wet season
...
... Dioscorea alata,
called water yam, winged
yam, and purple yam, was
first cultivated somewhere
in Southeast Asia. Although
it is not grown in the same
quantities as the African
yams it has the largest
distribution world-wide of
any cultivated yam, being
grown in Asia, the Pacific
islands, Africa, and the
West Indies (Mignouna 2003).
In the United States it has
become an invasive species
in some Southern states. In
the Philippines it is known
as ube (or ubi)
and is used as an ingredient
in many sweet desserts. In
India, it is known as
ratalu or violet yam
or the Moraga Surprise.
In Hawaii it is known as
uhi. Uhi was brought to
Hawaii by the early
Polynesian settlers and
became a major crop in the
1800s when the tubers were
sold to visiting ships as an
easily stored food supply
for their voyages (White
2003) ... Ube in
general refers to all
varieties, while ubi
is a specific vernacular
applied to the aromatic
dark-purpled 'kinampay'
found in Bohol. Essentially,
ubi is a carbohydrate
food from which starch is
the main component, which is
needed mostly in processing
in the world market today.
The sweet taste of ubi
is due to the sugar content
such as sucrose and glucose.
It is also contains protein,
carbohydrates, calcium and
phosphorus as well as
moisture and energy - thus,
ubi is better
compared to cassava and
sweet potato.
The historical significance of the
ubi crop to the Boholanos is
described by a Jesuit missionary Father
Ignacio Alcina ... in his Historia de
las Islas e indios de Bisayas
(Madrid, 1668) wrote: '... the so-called
ubi, which are numerous in kind,
color and shape. The larger ones are
called quinampay and are mulberry
in color. The ubi are the chief
staple on the island of Bohol and other
islands (Dauis/Panglao island) where
they yield abundantly and very well.'
Bohol province boasts of being the bread
basket as the biggest rice producer in
the Central Visayas. There is more to
this, however. Bohol is recognized as
the source of the rare kinampay
variety, an aromatic and velvet-colored
variety, scientifically named
Dioscorea Alata Linn. Hence, that
Boholanos venerate and consider the root
crop holy has a more or less decent
basis ...
... there was a beautiful royal
princess in the island of Bohol named
Bugbung Humasanun, so secluded (binokotan)
in her chamber where she could only be
found spinning, weaving or embroidering.
She was adored for her coiffured
panta or talabhok, a great
mass of hair accented with artificial
switches which is of great offense for a
man to even touch. Her appearance to the
public was like the first ray of the sun
that gives joy and delight, or like a
sudden flash of lightning that causes
fear and respect ... A great, brave and
just chief named Datung Sumanga married
her after several pangngagad and
going through ordeals to prove his love
to the princess. He ruled his subjects,
settled their disputes, protect them
from the enemies, and lead them in
battle. There was peace in Bohol during
his rule. From this couple and the
barangays and communities they led,
grew the population of the Boholanos ...
