The hangar was intended to make room for an airship which
measured 260 m.
And according to the Mayas there were 260 days in
a tzolkin.
... This connects up the present section with
the beginning of the 'sacred tonalamatl', at the Spring
equinox with the Mayas as with the Mexicans, and in the center
of the 364-day year (52 days of which preceded and 52 followed
the tonalamatl or tzolkin), ruled by its 91-day
quarters by the Four Bacabs, whose quarternary repetition (in
the 1820-day period) we have thus verified ...
... 1820 = 20 * 91, i.e. the bacabs
circulated 5 times in the 1820-day period, 5 * 364 = 1820, and 7
* 260 also happens to be 1820. They were ruling the 4 quarters
of a 364-day long year, and in the center of this year there
were 260 days, the sacred tonalamatl (tzolkin)
calendar, which began at spring
equinox:

91 |
91 |
52 |
260 = 5 * 52 |
52 |
364 = 4 * 91 = 7 * 52 |
364 / 7 = 52 and 52 / 4 = 13.
Conjunction: 7 * 13 = 91 = 364 / 4 |
... The Maya Indians had several calendars, the one I have
used here is their calendar over the year (haab). It
was used in conjunction with the more famous tzolkin
(for their sacred year), which was composed by the numbers
from 1 to 13 prefixed to one of their 20 daynames, for
instance as 13 Ahau - the last of the 13 numbers
conjoined with the last of the 20 daynames (Ahau).
This gave 13 * 20 = 260 possible dates according to the
tzolkin. In the picture below (ref.: Midonick) is
explained how a more definite date is generated by combining
tzolkin with haab:
Also the ordinal number in the month according to the
haab calendar was prefixed (see B cogwheel). But the
counting began with 0 instead of with 1 (cfr for instance
1 Imix in the A cogwheel, the tzolkin). The last
(19th) haab month (Vayeb - or as spelled in
the picture: Uayeb) had only 5 days, and its highest
number therefore became 4. Otherwise the highest number in a
month was 19. Months were defined in the haab
calendar, not in the tzolkin ...
In our Gregorian calendar day 260 is September 17 and in Roman
times the Sun reached this date when the Full Moon was at Achernar (the End of
the River):

Kau.
1. To move one's feet (walking or swimming);
ana oho koe, ana kau i te va'e, ka rava a
me'e mo kai, if you go and move your feet,
you'll get something to eat; kakau (or
also kaukau), move yourself swimming. 2.
To spread (of plants): ku-kau-áte kumara,
the sweet potatoes have spread, have grown a
lot. 3. To swarm, to mill around (of people):
ku-kau-á te gagata i mu'a i tou hare,
there's a crowd of people milling about in front
of your house. 4. To flood (of water after the
rain): ku-kau-á te vai haho, the water
has flooded out (of a container such as a
taheta). 5. To increase, to multiply:
ku-kau-á te moa, the chickens have
multiplied. 6. Wide, large: Rano Kau, 'Wide
Crater' (name of the volcano in the southwest
corner of the island). 7. Expression of
admiration: kau-ké-ké! how big! hare
kau-kéké! what a big house! tagata hakari
kau-kéké! what a stout man! Vanaga. To
bathe, to swim; hakakau, to make to swim.
P Pau., Mgv., Mq.: kau, to swim. Ta.:
áu, id. Kauhaga, swimming. Churchill.
The stem kau does not
appear independently in any language of
Polynesian proper. For tree and for timber we
have the composite
lakau in various stages of transformation.
But kau will also be found
as an initial component of various tree names.
It is in Viti that we first find it in free
existence. In Melanesia this form is rare. It
occurs as kau in Efaté, Sesake, Epi,
Nguna, and perhaps may be preserved in Aneityum;
as gau in Marina; as au in Motu
and somewhere in the Solomon islands. The
triplicity of the Efaté forms [kasu,
kas, kau] suggests a possible
transition. Kasu and kas are easy
to be correlated, kasu and kau
less easy. They might be linked by the
assumption of a parent form kahu, from
which each might derive. This would appear in
modern Samoan as kau; but I have found it
the rule that even the mildest aspirate in
Proto-Samoan becoming extinct in modern Samoan
is yet retained as aspiration in Nuclear
Polynesia and as th in Viti, none of
which mutations is found on this record.

Kaukau. 1. Horizontal
poles of a frame (of a hare paega, or a
paina statue): he-hakatu'u te tama o
te paina, he-kaukau, they erect the vertical
poles of the paina then they lay upon
them the horizontal ones. 2. Group of people:
e-tahi tuitui reipá i Te Pei, ekó rava'a e-varu
kaukau; i-garo ai i Hiva, i te kaiga,
a necklace of mother-of-pearl is on te Pei,
few will find it (lit: eight groups of
people); it has remained in Hiva, in our
homeland. 3. To go through, to pass through in
unison; he-hogi-mai te űka i te e'eo o te pua
kaukau-á i roto ite hare, the girl smelt the
fragrance of the pua wafting inside the
house. 4. Newborn baby's first hand and feet
movements (kaukau or kau). The
five stages of a baby's development are:
kaukau, puepe, tahuri, totoro, mahaga.
Puepue = said of a newborn baby when, a few
weeks old, it begins to distinguish people and
objects: ku-puepue-á te poki. Tahuri
= of a new-born baby, to move from side to
side: ku-tahuri-á te poki. Totoro
= to crawl; ki totoro te poki, when the
baby crawls. Mahaga = baby when able to
stand by itself. Vanaga.

... You are
the one who shall stay here. We, on the other
hand, have to turn around. Makoi replied,
All right with me! Then Ira continued to
speak to Makoi: Tomorrow, when it grows
light, set out and name the places beginning
with Apina. Makoi replied, How
shall I give the names? Again Ira spoke,
In Hiva are the names that are to be
taken to name (the places of the new land). It
grew light 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. He gave the name This is Hanga O Ua
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, saying that the naming was done on
a (round) trip during a single day

... The
canoes of Ava Rei Pua and of Hotu
were seen near the (off-shore) islets. On the
fifteenth day of the month
of October (tangaroa uri)
the canoe of Hotu and the canoe of Ava
Rei Pua landed. On the fifteenth day of the
month of October (tangaroa uri),
Nonoma left the house during the night to
urinate outside. At this point Ira called
out to Nonoma, 'Look at the canoe!'
Nonoma ran, he quickly went to Te Hikinga
Heru (a ravine in the side of the crater
Rano Kau) and looked around. There he saw
the double canoe way out near the (offshore)
islets, and the two (hulls of the canoe) were
lashed together. He ran and returned to the
front of the house. He arrived and called into
the house: 'Hey you! This canoe has arrived
during the night without our noticing it!'
Ira asked Nonoma, 'Where is the
canoe, which you say is lying out there (in the
water)?' Nonoma's voice came back: 'It is
out there (in the water) close to the (offshore)
islets! There it lies, and the two (hulls) are
lashed together.' The four of them (corrected
for 'the six of them') went out and picked up
leaves (on branches) to give signals. They
picked them up, went and arrived at Te
Hikinga and saw the canoe. Raparenga
got up, picked up the leaves, took them in his
hands, and waved, waved, waved, waved ... (E:75) |
