The first 13 stations named by Makoi (page E:38) began
with 1 Apina Iti and ended with 13 Te Hereke.
'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.
And
Apina Nui finally closed his cycle - hakataka.
... 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) ...
Taka,
takataka. Circle; to
form circles, to gather, to get together (of people). Vanaga. 1.
A dredge. P Mgv.: akataka,
to fish all day or all night with the line, to throw the fishing
line here and there. This can only apply to some sort of net
used in fishing. We find in Samoa
ta'ā a small fishing line, Tonga taka the short
line attached to fish hooks, Futuna taka-taka a fishing
party of women in the reef pools (net), Maori takā the
thread by which the fishhook is fastened to the line, Hawaii
kaa in the same sense, Marquesas takako a badly spun
thread, Mangareva takara a thread for fastening the bait
on the hook. 2. Ruddy. 3. Wheel, arch; takataka, ball,
spherical, round, circle, oval, to roll in a circle, wheel,
circular piece of wood, around; miro takataka, bush;
haga takataka, to disjoin; hakatakataka, to round, to

As to 13 Hereke it possibly should be understood as
here-ke (a different kind of snare or knot, ukdah):
Here. 1. To catch eels in a snare of sliding knots; pole
used in this manner of fishing, with a perforation for the line.

... In late September or early
October 130, Hadrian and his entourage, among them
Antinous, assembled at Heliopolis to set sail
upstream as part of a flotilla along the River Nile.
The retinue included officials, the Prefect, army
and naval commanders, as well as literary and
scholarly figures. Possibly also joining them was
Lucius Ceionius Commodus, a young aristocrat whom
Antinous might have deemed a rival to Hadrian's
affections. On their journey up the Nile, they
stopped at Hermopolis Magna, the primary shrine to
the god Thoth. It was shortly after this, in October
[in the year A.D.] 130 - around the time of the
festival of Osiris - that Antinous fell into the
river and died, probably from drowning. Hadrian
publicly announced his death, with gossip soon
spreading throughout the Empire that Antinous had
been intentionally killed. The nature of Antinous's
death remains a mystery to this day, and it is
possible that Hadrian himself never knew; however,
various hypotheses have been put forward.
One possibility is that he was
murdered by a conspiracy at court. However, Lambert
asserted that this was unlikely because it lacked
any supporting historical evidence, and because
Antinous himself seemingly exerted little influence
over Hadrian, thus meaning that an assassination
served little purpose. Another suggestion is that
Antinous had died during a voluntary castration as
part of an attempt to retain his
youth and thus his sexual appeal to Hadrian.
However, this is improbable because Hadrian deemed
both castration and circumcision to be abominations
and as Antinous was aged between 18 and 20 at the
time of death, any such operation would have been
ineffective. A third possibility is that the death
was accidental, perhaps if Antinous was intoxicated.
However, in the surviving evidence Hadrian does not
describe the death as being an accident; Lambert
thought that this was suspicious. Another
possibility is that Antinous represented a voluntary
human sacrifice. Our earliest surviving evidence for
this comes from the writings of Dio Cassius, 80
years after the event, although it would later be
repeated in many subsequent sources. In the second
century Roman Empire, a belief that the death of one
could rejuvenate the health of another was
widespread, and Hadrian had been ill for many years;
in this scenario, Antinous could have sacrificed
himself in the belief that Hadrian would have
recovered. Alternately, in Egyptian tradition it was
held that sacrifices of boys to the Nile,
particularly at the time of the October Osiris
festival, would ensure that the River would flood to
its full capacity and thus fertilize the valley;
this was made all the more urgent as the Nile's
floods had been insufficient for full agricultural
production in both 129 and 130. In this situation,
Hadrian might not have revealed the cause of
Antinous's death because he did not wish to appear
either physically or politically weak. Conversely,
opposing this possibility is the fact that Hadrian
disliked human sacrifice and had strengthened laws
against it in the Empire ... |

However, down on Easter Island (not whirling around like
the sky roof above, the Mill) the position of Te Hereke had been firmly grounded in
the north:
"I was shown a large rectangular stone slab above
Ahu
Maitaki Te Moa on the road to Hanga Oteo [Hanga'o
Teo, Hangoteo] that
was called Te Hereke." (The Eighth Island, p.
79.)
5 days after
1 Apina Iti and 7 days before 13 Te
Hereke was 6 Ahu Akapu, a place name which
was first given by the dream soul of Hau Maka (E:11):
... She then hastened her steps
toward Ahu Akapu. There she looked again for a residence
for the king. Again the dream soul of Hau Maka spoke:
'May the king assemble his people (?) and may he come in
the midst of his people from Oromanga to Papa O Pea.
When the king of Papa O Pea has assembled his people (?)
and has come to this place, he reaches Ahu Akapu. To
stay there, to remain (for the rest of his life) at Ahu
Akapu, the king will abdicate (?) as soon as he has
become an old man.' She named the place 'Ahu Akapu A Hau
Maka O Hiva.' The (entire) island she named 'Te Pito O
Te Kainga A Hau Maka O Hiva.'
The dream soul turned around and hurried back to Hiva,
to its (Home)land, to Maori ...
This name suggests haka-pu, to create a hole
(through which to exit), for then came
Pu
Pakakina A Ira - which ought to
be a short distance south of Ahu Akapu

... Apami-Atsa ('Child of Waters',

('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

... 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.

means 'earth heaped up' - a widespread

rotting material on which taro is
grown. In the English of his day this
was known as 'vegetable mould' ... |

The expressions Tonga, Kona,
Toa (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to
indicate the quarter of an island or of
the wind, between the south and west,
and Tokelau, Toerau, Koolau (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to
indicate the opposite directions from
north to east - expressions universal
throughout Polynesia, and but little
modified by subsequent local
circumstances - point strongly to a
former habitat in lands where the
regular monsoons prevailed.
Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona',
contracted from 'To-anga' or 'Ko-ana',
signifies 'the setting', seil. of the
sun. 'Toke-lau', of which the
other forms are merely dialectical
variations, signifies 'the cold, chilly
sea'. Fornander. |
