i te tau i a Ataranga.he tuku te tangata i te vaka	During the time of Ataranga, the people built boats, put them into the water, went on board, and sailed off (across the sea) to find a land where people could (safely) live. During the time of Taana, Taana spoke to his three sons: 'Untie your boat, fellows! Sail away and look for the land where the great king can live (safely in the future)!'The boat anchored in front of the three (islets) Motu Nui, Moto Iti, and Motu Kaokao. They had sailed away and had looked for the (new) land, but the boat did not return to its homeland, Maori. Many people perished during the time of Taana. Taana spoke to his assistants (titiro): 'Pick up the keel and lay it down (at the building site) and construct a boat (miro), young men! The boat shall be for the people (mahingo) and also for the king, so that we can all set out and look around to see whether there isn't (somewhere) (the possibility of) escape for the people'' They built the boat during the time of Taana. Thus, everything remained (in its place) until Taana died. Taana passed on his royal power to Matua. Matua established himself (as ruler). They built boats during the time of Hotu.

I have bluemarked where the story about the voyage of the dream soul (kuhane) of Hau Maka is beginning. Its translation ought to come together with the beginning of that for page E:6.

Given a cosmological frame of mind we can perceive how the inundation foreseen by Moe Hiva and beginning in the time of Roroi motivated people to build boats.

Roro. Head, skull, brain. T Pau.: taka-roro, headache. Mgv.: roro, the head, the cranium, milk, coconut milk. Mq.: roro, óó, brains. Ta.: roro, id. There are three senses in this word ... 1. Coconut milk, as in Mangareva, a Proto-Samoan signification; note that coconut milk employed by writers who know the South Sea does not mean the natural water within the nut, which is limpid, but is a tincture obtained by maceration of the bruised kernel, which is white and heavy and thickens to a custardy consistency when cooked. 2. The Tongafiti sense is the brain, palpably the soft contents of the calvarium, sometimes very soft indeed; this sense is lacking to Mangareva but is found in Rapanui. 3. A designation of the hard part of the head, found only in Mangareva and Rapanui, so violently sundered from the germ sense underlying 1 and 2 as to indicate confusion with a stem of similar form but diverse meaning. Churchill. Mgv.: Roroi, to milk, to squeeze or press with the hands. Mq.: oi, to milk, to knead, to dilute. Sa.: loloi, taro kneaded with coconut water. Ma.: roroi, to grate to a pulp. Churchill.

The first text line on page E:5 defines the new topic - i te tau i a Ataranga.he tuku te tangata i te vaka - boats were built.

... Väinämöinen set about building a boat, but when it came to the prow and the stern, he found he needed three words in his rune that he did not know, however he sought for them. In vain he looked on the heads of the swallows, on the necks of the swans, on the backs of the geese, under the tongues of the reindeer. He found a number of words, but not those he needed. Then he thought of seeking them in the realm of Death, Tuonela, but in vain. He escaped back to the world of the living only thanks to his potent magic. He was still missing his three runes. He was then told by a shepherd to search in the mouth of Antero Vipunen, the giant ogre. The road, he was told, went over swords and sharpened axes. Ilmarinen made shoes, shirt and gloves of iron for him, but warned him that he would find the great Vipunen dead. Nevertheless, the hero went. The giant lay underground, and trees grew over his head. Väinämöinen found his way to the giant's mouth, and planted his iron staff in it. The giant awoke and suddenly opened his huge mouth. Väinämöinen slipped into it and was swallowed. As soon as he reached the enormous stomach, he thought of getting out. He built himself a raft and floated on it up and down inside the giant.

The giant felt tickled and told him in many and no uncertain words where he might go, but he did not yield any runes. Then Väinämöinen built a smithy and began to hammer his iron on an anvil, torturing the entrails of Vipunen, who howled out magic songs to curse him away. But Väinämöinen said, thank you, he was very comfortable and would not go unless he got the secret words. Then Vipunen at last unlocked the treasure of his powerful runes. Many days and nights he sang, and the sun and the moon and the waves of the sea and the waterfalls stood still to hear him. Väinämöinen treasured them all and finally agreed to come out. Vipunen opened his great jaws, and the hero issued forth to go and build his boat at last ...

I have no glyph type for vaka and Metoro used this word curiously seldom - for surely a Polynesian should often have remembered their great sea-going vessels. One instance, though, ought to be mentioned:


Ba1-1	Ba1-2	Ba1-3	Ba1-4	Ba1-5
Ka tuu i te Ragi - ki te henua e rua - no Hoatumatua - ka hakanohoa
Hoa. 1. Master, owner; tagata hoa papaku, owner or relative of a dead; hoa manu, 'bird master', that is, he who received the first egg at the annual festivals in Orongo; he to'o mai e te hoa manu i te mamari ki toona rima, he ma'u, he hoko, the 'bird master' receives the egg in his hand and carries it, dancing. 2.Friend, companion: e ga hoa ê! 3. To cast away, to throw away, to abandon, perhaps also to expel. 4. To confess a sin; he hoa i te ta'u: term used of a category of rongorongo boards (see ta'u). Vanaga. 1. Friend; repa hoa, friend (male), comrade, companion, fellow; to confide; repa hoa titika, faithful friend; garu hoa, friend (either sex); uha hoa, friend (female); hoa kona, native T. 2.

The shape of the Moon crescent looks like a canoe which in principle might have inspired Metoro to here mention that a canoe was due to set off (tere) - after 10 initial glyphs.

Tere. 1. To run, to flee, to escape from a prison. 2. To sail a boat (also: hakatere); tere vaka, owner of a fishing boat. 3. (Deep-sea) fisherman; tere kahi, tuna fisherman; tere ho'ou, novice fisherman, one who goes deep-sea fishing for the first time. Penei te huru tûai; he-oho te tere ho'ou ki ruga ki te hakanonoga; ana ta'e rava'a, he-avai e te tahi tagata tere vaka i te îka ki a îa mo hakakoa, mo iri-hakaou ki te hakanonoga i te tahi raá. The ancient custom was like this: the novice fisherman would go to a hakanonoga; if he didn't catch anything, another fisherman would give him fishes to make him happy so he'd go again one day to the hakanonoga (more distant fishing zones where larger fishes are found). Vanaga. To depart, to run, to take leave, to desert, to escape, to go away, to flee, fugitive, to sail, to row, to take refuge, to withdraw, to retreat, to save oneself; terea, rest, defeat; tetere, to beat a retreat, to go away, refugee; teretere, to go away, hurrah; hakatere, to set free, to despatch, to expel, to let go, to liberate, to conquer, helmsman; terega, departure, sailing; teretai, a sailor. Churchill.

Possibly my glyph type ragi illustrates the 'canoe of the Moon' journeying behind the top of a Tree:

Modoc, a language used on the northwest coast of North America: 'A single word, lagi, was used both for the chief and for a rich man who possessed several wives, horses, armour made of leather or wooden slats, well-filled quivers and precious firs. In addition to owning these material assets, the chief had to win military victories, possess exceptional spiritual powers and display a gift for oratory.' (The Naked Man)
