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. To abandon, to debark, to cast, to launch, to anchor, to let go, to give up, to reject, to repudiate, to suppress, to cut off, to jerk out, to proscribe, to reprove; hoahoa, to upset, to destroy. Churchill.

Haho. Outside. Vanaga. Hahoa (ha causative, hoa) to cut, to wound, to hurt. PS Mgv.: tahoa, to make papyrus by beating. Sa.: foa, to chip, to break. To.: foa, to crack, to make an opening. Fu.: foa, to dig, the rent in a mat. Underlying the Nuclear Polynesian significations the primal sense seems to be that of a hole. The Rapanui, a causative, is a clear derivative in the cutting sense; wound and hurt are secondary withing this language. The Mangarevan composite means 'to beat until holes appear', which is a distinctive character of the beaten bast of the paper mulberry in the condition in which it is ready for employment in making tapa. Churchill.

E:56 → Alcyone

... another Alcyone, daughter of Pleione, 'Queen of Sailing', by the oak-hero Atlas, was the mystical leader of the seven Pleiads. The heliacal rising of the Pleiads in May marked the beginning of the navigational year; their setting marked its end when (as Pliny notices in a passage about the halcyon) a remarkably cold North wind blows ...

Then Matua said to Hotu, 'Launch the canoe [ka hoa te miro], gather [ka too toou] the people, and sail on board the canoe [ka oho.irunga i te miro] to Te Pito O Te Kainga.

Sail on [ka oho] and let children be born [ka hakatama toou] by the many in Te Pito O Te Kainga (i.e., the number of your subjects will increase in the new homeland).

Not one thing [he mee. o toe a etahi] shall remain behind (i.e., everything that is needed will be taken along) when you leave [ana oho koe]!'

Churchill 2.

Kai toe kai tohe etahi, omitted nothing whatsoever (E:13).

Hotu said to his assistants [ki toona titiro] Teke and Oti, 'Go and take banana shoots, taro seedlings, sections of sugarcane to be planted, yam roots, sweet potatoes with leaves (? rau kumaru), hauhau trees, paper mulberry trees, sandalwood trees, toromiro trees, ferns (riku), rushes, yellow roots, tavari plants, moss (para), and ngaoho plats.

Ma.: marae, an inclosed place in front of a house. Ta.: marae, the sacred place of worship ... Vi.: mara, a burying place ... In note 261 I have advanced the opinion that malae is in form a conditional derivative of lae. This holds of the signification found in Nuclear Polynesia. The secondary sense which the Tongafiti carried to eastern Polynesia has obscured the lae element; but the sacrosanct content of the marae in the four-godded theology of eastern Polynesia is after all but a logical outgrowth of the Nuclear Polynesian malae as the civic center of social life where god is sole, surpreme - and Lucretian ... Churchill 2.

... What happens after (or happened, or will happen sometime, for this myth is written in the future tense), is told in the Völuspa, but it is also amplified in Snorri's Gylfaginning (53), a tale of a strange encounter of King Gylfi with the Aesir themselves, disguised as men, who do not reveal their identity but are willing to answer questions: 'What happens when the whole world has burned up, the gods are dead, and all of mankind is gone? You have said earlier, that each human being would go on living in this or that world.' So it is, goes the answer, there are several worlds for the good and the bad. Then Gylfi asks: 'Shall any gods be alive, and shall there be something of earth and heaven?' And the answer is: 'The earth rises up from the sea again, and is green and beautiful and things grow without sowing. Vidar and Vali are alive, for neither the sea nor the flames of Surt have hurt them and they dwell on the Eddyfield, where once stood Asgard. There come also the sons of Thor, Modi and Magni, and bring along his hammer. There come also Balder and Hoder from the other world. All sit down and converse together. They rehearse their runes and talk of events of old days. Then they find in the grass the golden tablets that the Aesir once played with ...

... The original story was by Diogenes Laertius, an Epicurean philosopher circa early half third century, in his book On the Lives, Opinions, and Sayings of Famous Philosophers. The story is in Chapter ten in his section on the Seven Sages, who were the precursors to the first philosophers. The sage was Epimenides. Apparently Epimenides went to sleep in a cave for fifty-seven years. But unfortunately, 'he became old in as many days as he had slept years'. Although according to the different sources that Diogenes relates, Epimenides lived to be one hundred and fifty-seven years, two hundred and ninety-nine years, or one hundred and fifty-four years. A similar story is told of the Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, Christian saints who fall asleep in a cave while avoiding Roman persecution, and awake more than a century later to find that Christianity has become the religion of the Empire ...

Then King Hotu said to Teke, 'Don't forget the four-legged animals (manu vae eha - 'birds with four legs'), also [tokoa] pigs (? kekepu), chickens, and birds.'

"At the time of the immigration, Hotu Matua brought with him an animal that had short front legs and fat, high buttocks ..." (The Eighth Land, p 141.)

... The etymology of kangaroo is not known, which allows me to imagine a connection with Tagaroa (Kanaloa). The Polynesians surely visited Australia on several occasions and the striking pocket (little sack) on the front side of the man-sized kangaroos (standing on 2 legs just like men), must have stayed in their memories. Nothing on land can be more illustrative of how life must have begun inside a dark sack (taga) ...

Then King Matua said to Hotu, 'You must not forget [he mee o rehu] the flies [te takaure] when you take along (all the things that are necessary) and sail off.

If you forget the flies [ana rehu i a koe te takaure], the multitude (piere) of the people will disappear [he ngaro tou piere]. When you reach the land [ana tomo ki runga.ki tou kainga] to which you are travelling [ena koe ka oho], it will be over quickly (?) for the multitude of the people.

When the flies die [ana moko te ihu o te takaure], the human population dies too [he moko tokoa te ihu o tou piere tangata].'

Churchill 2.

... From a religious point of view, the high regard for flies, whose increase or reduction causes a similar increase or reduction in the size of the human population, is interesting, even more so because swarms of flies are often a real nuisance on Easter Island, something most visitors have commented on in vivid language. The explanation seems to be that there is a parallel relationship between flies and human souls, in this case, the souls of the unborn. There is a widespread belief throughout Polynesia that insects are the embodiment of numinous beings, such as gods or the spirits of the dead, and this concept extends into Southeast Asia, where insects are seen as the embodiment of the soul ...

... Men's spirits were thought to dwell in the Milky Way between incarnations. This conception has been handed down as an Orphic and Pythagorean tradition fitting into the frame of the migration of the soul. Macrobius, who has provided the broadest report on the matter, has it that souls ascend by way of Capricorn, and then, in order to be reborn, descend again through the 'Gate of Cancer' ...
