So it seems possible that Ira drilled 3 holes in order to
mark the places from where the 3 beads (stones) in the string (tui) of central stars in
Orion (Tui = Kui) would appear to rise.
... There is a couple residing in one place
named Kui [Tui] and Fakataka
[Hakataka]. After the couple stay
together for a while Fakataka is pregnant. So they go
away because they wish to go to another place - they go. The
canoe goes and goes, the wind roars, the sea churns, the canoe
sinks. Kui expires while Fakataka swims.
Fakataka
swims and swims, reaching another land. She goes there and stays
on the upraised reef in the freshwater pools on the reef, and
there delivers her child, a boy child. She gives him the name
Taetagaloa. When the baby is born a golden plover flies over
and alights upon the reef. (Kua fanau lā te pepe kae
lele mai te tuli oi tū mai i te papa).
And so the woman thus names various parts of the child beginning
with the name 'the plover' (tuli): neck (tuliulu),
elbow (tulilima), knee (tulivae) ...
... Ira got up [he ea], climbed up,
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 ... (E:34)
... 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 a Ira] and again picked up the (second)
ornament. He took it [he mau], went on, and came to Apina
Nui, drilled a hole into the stone, put the ornament in the
hole, with the shiny side [te rapa] to the outside, and
gave (the place) the name 'Pu'. He turned around, went on, and
came to the cave Pu Pakakina. There he lay down [he noho].
The young kinsmen arrived and also lay down
...
... It grew light on the [the] third day, and
again Ira said, 'Go back to swimming on a board, to riding the
waves!'.
All went back out there, and Ira got up [he ea a Ira]. He
picked up [he too mai] two stone figures (moai maea]
and two [two] mother-of-pearl necklaces (tuitui reipa).
The name of the first stone figure was Apina Iti, and the name
of the second one was Rapa Kura. Ira
took [he mau] the figures and the ornaments, went on [he
oho], and came to [he tuu ki] Apina Iti.
He dug a pit [he keri i te rua], let the figure slide
down into the pit, and covered it up with pebbles (kirikiri].
The head remained completely free (?
he puoko i hakapaka).
He put the necklace around the neck of the figure and called the
place [te kona] 'Apina Iti A Rapa Kura'. Ira gave the
stone figure the name 'Hinariru', the name of the master, (son)
of Tuu Hokorua, who had given the figure to Ira ... (E:35)

... 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.

'earth heaped up' - a widespread name for the
Polynesian first woman. It sounds as if Cook
also heard the term applied to the banks of
humus and rotting material on which taro
is grown. In the English of his day this was
known as 'vegetable mould' ... |

... When it was evident that the years lay
ready 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 two cycles) might proceed
to reach one hundred 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
statues, hewn in either wood or stone, kept
in each man's home and regarded as gods,
were all cast into the water. Also (were)
these (cast away) - the pestles and the
(three) hearth stones (upon which the
cooking pots rested); and everywhere there
was much sweeping - there was sweeping very
clear. Rubbish was thrown out; none lay in
any of the houses...

of application, if it has no nearer
