Makoi went around the whole island in a single day
(E:37-38):
... It grew light [on the 5th day] and Makoi got up. He set out
and came to Apina. When he arrived there he gave the name 'This
is Apina Iti, this is Rapa Kura.'. He went on and came to Hanga
O Ua [Uo]. He gave the name 'This is Hanga O Ua [Uo]
of the beautiful wave (vave renga).' Makoi went on,
giving names, until he had made a (complete) circle around both
sides (of the island). In Apina Nui a stone (maea) was
erected [hakatuu], saying that the naming was done on a
(round) trip during a single day ...

The 'yellow wave' (vave renga) could possibly correspond
(south of the equator) to the 'line of morning fire' which was
caused (north of the equator) by the rising Sun at the horizon
in the (north)east.
Togariki = northeast
wind according to Churchill.
... It should be stated right now that
'fire' is actually a great circle reaching from the North Pole
of the celestial sphere to its South Pole ...
... Somewhere in The Eighth Island is
mentioned that this part of the island was named 'the neck of
the turtle'. It makes sense if we think of the turtle as the
'earth turtle' of Easter Island. The high Poike in the
east will then be the head of the land and the line of fire
across the neck could represent a noose with which the turtle is
caught ...
... he gathered all the coconut husks of his
land and rolled the fibre, and he plaited it into ropes of very
great strength. But these ropes also were of no use, for the
sun-god made them frizzle up.
Therefore Maui took the sacred tresses of his sister
Hina, he cut off lengths of Hina's hair and plaited
it, to make a rope whose mana could not be destroyed by
Ra. He took that noose of Hina's hair, he
travelled eastward to the border of the sea; he placed his ropes
around the pit from which the sun rises, waited there, he waited
for the dawn. Then Ra came up, he came up from the
spirit-world which lies in the east.
Maui pulled the
cord, he caught the sun-god by the throat! Ra struggled,
kicked, he screamed against the sky. 'Then will you go more
slowly if I turn you loose?' The sun then promised Maui,
'Let me go, and I will move more slowly, I will make longer days
for your fishing'. Since that time, men have had longer days in
which to go about their work ...
... The first of all foreign visitors on
Easter Island was the Dutch admiral Jacob Roggeveen., who
approached the island in the evening twilight of Easter Sunday,
1722. As the sun rose above the sea
next morning the Dutchmen brought their ships close inshore and
observed a mixed crowd of fair-skinned and dark-skinned people
who had lit fires before some enormous statues standing in a
row. The people ashore were squatting in front of the statues,
with their heads bent while they alternatively raised and
lowered their arms. When the sun rose they prostrated themselves
on the ground facing the sunrise, their fires still flickering
before the stone colossi. The statues were even then so old and
eroded that Roggeveen could with his bare fingers break pieces
away from the decomposed surface, wherefore he concluded that
the giant figures were simply molded from clay and soil mixed
with pebbles. The Dutchmen left the island after a single day's
visit ...
... They walked in
crowds when they arrived at Tulan, and there was no fire.
Only those with Tohil had it: this was the tribe whose
god was first to generate fire. How it was generated is not
clear. Their fire was already burning when Jaguar Quitze
and Jaguar Night first saw it: 'Alas! Fire has not yet
become ours. We'll die from the cold', they said. And then
Tohil spoke: 'Do not grieve. You will have your own even
when the fire you're talking about has been lost',
Tohil told them.
'Aren't you a true god!
Our sustenance and our support! Our god!' they said when they
gave thanks for what Tohil had said. 'Very well, in
truth, I am your god: so be it. I am your lord: so be it,' the
penitents and sacrificers were told by Tohil. And this
was the warming of the tribes. They were pleased by their fire.
After
that a great downpour began, which cut short the fire of the
tribes. And hail fell thickly on all the tribes, and their fires
were put out by the hail. Their fires didn't start up again. So
then Jaguar Quitze and Jaguar Night asked for
their fire again: 'Tohil, we'll be finished off by the
cold', they told Tohil. 'Well, do not grive', said
Tohil. Then he started a fire. He pivoted inside his sandal
...
The cycle of Makoi clearly cannot be
put in direct parallel with the map around the island which was
created by the dream soul of Hau Maka,
sleeping in Hiva, because it
took him only a single day. The sky revolves around the earth in
a single day (creating hours, minutes, and seconds) and the sky
also revolves around the earth in a year (creating months,
weeks, and days).
This diurnal cycle was created, it seems, during the 5th day
counted from the beginning of Pu Pakakina A Ira:
... On the twenty-ninth day of the month of
August ('Hora Iti') they went on to Pu Pakakina. They arrived,
remained there, and gave the name 'Pu Pakakina
A Ira'.
They remained one month in Pu Pakakina ...

... 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 ... |

... Mons
Maenalus, at the feet of Boötes, was formed
by Hevelius, and published in his Firmamentum
Sobiescianum; this title coinciding with
those of neighboring stellar groups bearing
Arcadian names. It is sometimes, although
incorrectly, given as Mons Menelaus, -
perhaps, as Smyth suggested, after the
Alexandrian astronomer referred to by Ptolemy
and Plutarch. The Germans know it as the Berg
Menalus; and the Italians as Menalo.
Landseer has a striking representation of the
Husbandsman, as he styles Boötes, with sickle
and staff, standing on this constellation
figure. A possible explanation of its
origin may be found in what
Hewitt writes in his Essays on the Ruling
Races of Prehistoric Times: The Sun-god
thence climbed up the mother-mountain of the
Kushika race as the constellation Hercules, who
is depicted in the old traditional pictorial
astronomy as climbing painfully up the hill to
reach the constellation of the Tortoise, now
called Lyra, and thus attain the polar star
Vega, which was the polar star from 10000 to
8000 B.C.
May not this modern companion constellation,
Mons Maenalus, be from a recollection of this
early Hindu conception of our Hercules
transferred to the adjacent Bootes?
A full stop sign was used at
October 10 as if to point out where Mons
Maenalus (the Primeval Mound) was beginning.

is grown. In the English of his day this was
known as 'vegetable mould' ... |

to burst into life, everyone took hold of them,
so that once more would start forth - once again
- another (period of) fifty-two years. Then (the

and four years. It was called 'One Age' when
twice they had made the round, when twice the
times of binding the years had come
together. Behold what was done when the years
were bound - when was reached the time when they
were to draw the new fire, when now its count
was accomplished. First they put out fires
everywhere in the country round. And the
