... It is certainly true that the exterior form of the hare paenga, when the superstructure and thatch are intact, resembles an overturned boat, with the form established by the foundation. However, it is equally true (and perhaps equally important) that the configuration of the foundation is otherwise most like the Rapa Nui vulva design called komari. The komari is the quintessential female symbol which is everywhere prominent in Rapa Nui art, often carved in rock and wood, incised on human crania, and painted on the human body. In the hare paenga foundation form, the komari is cut in stone and embedded in the earth, the cosmologically female realm. Spanning above, over and virtually into this komari foundation is the ridgepole 'backbone' and curved rafter 'ribs' of what I surmise to be a symbolically male form. In short, we have a shelter which may be metaphorically understood as 'the sky father enclosing his progeny as he embraces the earth'. Those progeny entered and departed this male/female, earth/sky form through a low, dark tunnel which may be logically compared to the birth canal. This postulated symbolism does not, of course, negate the 'overturned boat' comparison, since Polynesian canoes were often likened to the bodies of great ancestors or to Tane as First Man. The canoe which transported the first exploratory voyage to Rapa Nui was said to have been called The Living Wood, a reference to Tane. Indeed, it is likely that the 'overturned boat' concept and its relationship to home, hearth and lineage, which is so graphically visible, was commonly understood (hence its retention in the oral literature), while the more esoteric godly connections, perhaps along the lines of those explored here, were known only by spiritual leaders ...

Hati 1. To break (v.t., v.i.); figuratively: he hati te pou oka, to die, of a hopu manu in the exercise of his office (en route from Motu Nui to Orongo). 2. Closing word of certain songs. Vanaga. Hahati. 1. To break (see hati). 2. Roughly treated, broken (from physical exertion: ku hahati á te hakari) 3. To take to the sea: he hahati te vaka. Vanaga. Ha(ha)ti. To strike, to break, to peel off bark; slip, cutting, breaking, flow, wave (aati, ati, hahati); tai hati, breakers, surf; tumu hatihati, weak in the legs; hakahati, to persuade; hatipu, slate. P Pau.: fati, to break. Mgv.: ati, hati, to break, to smash. Mq.: fati, hati, id. Ta.: fati, to rupture, to break, to conquer. Churchill. HAKI, v. Haw., also ha'i and ha'e, primary meaning to break open, separate, as the lips about to speak, to break, as a bone or other brittle thing, to break off, to stop, tear, rend, to speak, tell, bark as a dog; hahai, to break away, follow, pursue, chase; hai, a broken place, a joint; hakina, a portion, part; ha'ina, saying; hae, something torn, as a piece of kapa or cloth, a flog, ensign. Sam., fati, to break, break off; fa'i, to break off, pluck off, as a leaf, wrench off; fai, to say, speak, abuse, deride; sae, to tear off, rend; ma-sae, torn. Tah., fati, to break, break up, broken; fai, confess, reveal, deceive; faifai, to gather or pick fruit; haea, torn, rent; s. deceit, duplicity; hae-hae, tear anything, break an agreement; hahae, id. Tong., fati, break, rend. Marqu., fati, fe-fati, to break, tear, rend; fai, to tell, confess; fefai, to dispute. The same double meaning of 'to break' and 'to say' is found in the New Zealand and other Polynesian dialects. Malg., hai, haïk, voice, address, call. Lat., seco, cut off, cleave, divide; securis, hatchet; segmentum, cutting, division, fragment; seculum (sc. temporis), sector, follow eagerly, chase, pursue; sequor, follow; sica, a dagger; sicilis, id., a knife; saga, sagus, a fortune-teller. Greek, άγνυμι, break, snap, shiver, from Ѓαγ (Liddell and Scott); άγν, breakage, fragment; έκας, adv, far off, far away. Liddell and Scott consider έκας akin to έκαςτος, each, every, 'in the sense of apart, by itself', and they refer to the analysis of Curtius ... comparing Sanskrit kas, kâ, kat (quis, qua, quid), who of two, of many, &c. Doubtless έκας and έκαςτος are akin 'in the sense of apart, by itself', but that sense arises from the previous sense of separating, cutting off, breaking off, and thus more naturally connects itself with the Latin sec-o, sac-er, and that family of words and ideas, than with such a forced compound as είς and κας. Sanskr., sach, to follow. Zend, hach, id. (Vid. Haug, 'Essay on Parsis'.) I am well aware that most, perhaps all, prominent philologists of the present time - 'whose shoe-strings I am not worthy to unlace' - refer the Latin sequor, secus, even sacer, and the Greek έπω, έπομαι, to this Sanskrit sach. Benfey even refers the Greek έκας to this sach, as explanatory of its origin and meaning. But, under correction, and even without the Polynesian congeners, I should hold that sach, 'to follow', in order to be a relative to sacer, doubtless originally meaning 'set apart', then 'devoted, holy', and of έκας, 'far off', doubtless originally meaning something 'separated', 'cut off from, apart from', must also originally have had a meaning of 'to be separated from, apart from', and then derivatively 'to come after, to follow'. The sense of 'to follow' implies the sense of 'to be apart from, to come after', something preceding. The links of this connection in sense are lost in Sanskrit, but still survive in the Polynesian haki, fati, and its contracted form hai, fai, hahai, as shown above. I am therefore inclined to rank the Latin sequor as a derivative of seco, 'to cut off, take off'. Welsh, haciaw, to hack; hag, a gash, cut; segur, apart, separate; segru, to put apart; hoc, a bill-hook; hicel, id. A.-Sax., saga, a saw; seax, knife; haccan, to cut, hack; sægan, to saw; saga, speech, story; secan, to seek. Anc. Germ., seh, sech, a ploughshare. Perhaps the Goth. hakul, A.-Sax. hacele, a cloak, ultimately refer themselves to the Polynes. hae, a piece of cloth, a flag. Anc. Slav., sieshti (siekā), to cut; siekyra, hatchet. Judge Andrews in his Hawaiian-English Dictionary observes the connection in Hawaiian ideas between 'speaking, declaring', and 'breaking'. The primary idea, which probably underlies both, is found in the Hawaiian 'to open, to separate, as the lips in speaking or about to speak'; and it will be observed that the same development in two directions shows itself in all the Polynesian diaclects, as well as in several of the West Aryan dialects also. Fornander.

Piki. To climb, to mount, to go up; piki aruga, to surpass; pikipiki, to embark, to go aboard; hakapiki, to climb. P Pau.: piki, to climb, to ascend, to mount. Mgv.: piki, to mount, to go up, to climb. Mq.: piki, pií, to mount, to climb, to go aloft. Ta.: pii, to mount. Pikiga, ascent, steps, stairs; Mgv.: pikiga, a stair, ladder, step. Pikipiki: rauoho pikipiki, black hair and curly. P Pau.: tupikipiki, to curl, to frizzle. Churchill. Pau.: pikiafare, cat. Ta.: piiafare, id. Churchill. PI'I, v. Haw., to strike upon or extend, as the shadow on the ground or on a wall; to ascend, go up. N. Zeal., piki, to ascend. Sam.: pi'i, to cling to to climb. Marqu., piki, to climb, ascend; piki-a, steps, acclivity. Tong., piki, to adhere to, to climb, ascend. Fiji., bici-bici, a peculiar kind of marking on native cloth.Sanskr., pin'j, to dye or colour; pin'jara, yellow, tawny. Lat., pingo, to paint, represent, embroider. The marking out or tracing a shadow on the ground or on a wall was probably the primary attempt at painting. In the Hawaiian alone the sense of an ascent, compared to the lengthening of the shadows, has been retained. As the sun descended the shadows were thought to ascend or creep up the mountain-side. The sense of 'marking, tracing', seems only to have been retained in the Fijian, where so much other archaic Polynesian lore has been retained, and thus brings this word in connection with the Sanskrit and Latin. Fornander.

Pi. Mgv.: pi, full, complete. Mq.: pi, id. Churchill. Ta.: pi, young, green. Ma.: pipi, half-grown, not matured. Churchill. PI, v. Haw., to sprinkle, as water; to throw water with the hand; pi-pi, ka-pi, id. Sam., pi, to splash, slap, as a fish in a trap; ta-pi, rinse with fresh water; pisi, to splash with water. Tah., pi-pi, sprinkle with water. Sanskr., pi = pâ, to drink; piv, id.; pinu, to sprinkle; pitha, a drink, water; pipâsâ, thirst. Greek, πινω, to drink; πιστρα, a drinking trough, drink, water; πιπισκω, give to drink; πωμα, drink, liquor, &c. Lat., bibo, to drink; bibulus, potus. Slav., pi, piti, pivati, to drink.The transition from the sense conveyed in the Polynesian to that in the West Aryan tongues will be intelligible to those who have observed the manner of drinking which probably obtained before cups or containers were used, and which is still very common among the Polynesians when travelling; it is by 'throwing the water with the hand' from the spring or river to the mouth. That primary sense seems to have survived in the Sanskrit pinu, to sprinkle. Fornander.

... in the ceremonial course of the coming year, the king is symbolically transposed toward the Lono pole of Hawaiian divinity ... It need only be noticed that the renewal of kingship at the climax of the Makahiki coincides with the rebirth of nature. For in the ideal ritual calendar, the kali'i battle follows the autumnal appearance of the Pleiades, by thirty-three days - thus precisely, in the late eighteenth century, 21 December, the winter solstice. The king returns to power with the sun. Whereas, over the next two days, Lono plays the part of the sacrifice. The Makahiki effigy is dismantled and hidden away in a rite watched over by the king's 'living god', Kahoali'i or 'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one who is also known as 'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make). Close kinsman of the king as his ceremonial double, Kahoali'i swallows the eye of the victim in ceremonies of human sacrifice ... In the deep night before the image [of Lono] is first seen, there is a Makahiki ceremony called 'splashing-water' (hi'uwai). Kepelino tells of sacred chiefs being carried to the water where the people in their finery are bathing; in the excitement created by the beauty of their attire, 'one person was attracted to another, and the result', says this convert to Catholicism, 'was by no means good'. At dawn, when the people emerged from their amorous sport, there standing on the beach was the image of Lono. White tapa cloth and skins of the ka'upu bird hang from the horizontal bar of the tall crosspiece image. The ka'upu is almost certainly the albatross, a migratory bird that appears in the western Hawaiian chain - the white Lanyon albatross at Ni'ihau Island - to breed and lay eggs in October-November, or the beginning of the Makahiki season ...

... As has already been mentioned, the Delphians worshipped Dionysus once a year as the new-born child, Liknites, 'the Child in the Harvest Basket', which was a shovel-shaped basket of rush and osier used as a harvest basket, a cradle, a manger, and a winnowing-fan for tossing the grain up into the air against the wind, to separate it from the chaff. The worship of the Divine Child was established in Minoan Crete, its most famous early home in Europe. In 1903, on the site of the temple of Dictaean Zeues - the Zeus who was yearly born in Rhea's cave at Dicte near Cnossos, where Pythagoras spent 'thrice nine hallowed days' [27] of his initiation - was found a Greek hymn which seems to preserve the original Minoan formula in which the gypsum- [white-] powdered, sword-dancing Curetes, or tutors, saluted the Child at his birthday feast. In it he is hailed as 'the Cronian one' who comes yearly to Dicte mounted on a sow and escorted by a spirit-throng, and begged for peace and plenty as a reward for their joyful leaps ...

... In the morning of the world, there was nothing but water. The Loon was calling, and the old man who at that time bore the Raven's name, Nangkilstlas, asked her why. 'The gods are homeless', the Loon replied. 'I'll see to it', said the old man, without moving from the fire in his house on the floor of the sea. Then as the old man continued to lie by his fire, the Raven flew over the sea. The clouds broke. He flew upward, drove his beak into [takapau] the sky and scrambled over the rim to the upper world. There he discovered a town, and in one of the houses a woman had just given birth ...

Schumacher.

Hakarere, to leap. Churchill. ... At Mangaia the spirits of those who ignobly died 'on a pillow' wandered about disconsolately over the rocks near the margin of the sea until the day appointed by their leader comes (once a year). Many months might elapse ere the projected departures of the ghost took place. This weary interval was spent in dances and revisiting their former homes, where the living dwell affectionately remembered by the dead. At night fall they would wander amongst the trees and plantations nearest to these dwellings, sometimes venturing to peep inside. As a rule these ghosts were well disposed towards their own living relatives; but often became vindictive if a pet child was ill-treated by a stepmother or other relatives etc. Eventually the spirits would depart from known reinga, spirit leaping-places. Such leaping-places also existed on other islands. Even after this departure some spirit intrusions from the underworld were possible ...

i tuu era a Maeha.raua ki Teke.ki vaenga

When Meaha and Teke had reached the middle of the yam plantation, they examined [he rarama] the yams that the thieves had stolen [ko toke ana e te kori].

Maeha enumerated the names [he nape i te ingoa] of all the (varieties of) yam:

ki te uhi.he rarama i te uhi.ku toke ana e te

kori.he nape i te ingoa o te uhi.e Maeha.

Word play was used to underline meaning. For instance; ki runga ki te rango - upon (ki runga ki) the stretcher (te rango). This we can easily associate to the sky roof (te rangi). Furthermore, in the ladder leading up to heaven there were rungs, and Benetnash was the Leader of the Daughters of the Bier - to be compared with Hamal as the (single) Leader of the Flock.

The name of the stone statue, which was put on this stretcher, was Te Takapau (to thrust into) and this could correspond to the beak of Raven, because he flew upward, drove his beak into [takapau] the sky and scrambled over the rim to the upper world.

... Two men came to a hole in the sky. One asked the other to lift him up. If only he would do so, then he in turn would lend him a hand. His comrade lifted him up, but hardly was he up when he shouted for joy, forgot his comrade and ran into heaven. The other could just manage to peep over the edge of the hole; it was full of feathers inside. But so beautiful was it in heaven that the man who looked over the edge forgot everything, forgot his comrade whom he had promised to help up and simply ran off into all the splendour of heaven ...

Another translation of Te Takapau should be 'where the cycle (te taka) comes to and end (pau)'. And this in turn will push our thoughts ahead to the beak of Raven, to the constellation Corvus - at the other side compared to the corner of Crow (who was associated with the star Ain, the Eye of the Bull, according to the Chinese). At Corvus the Raven looked in vain for fresh water, for he had arrived after the empty Crater.

... the bird, being sent with a cup for water, loitered at a fig-tree till the fruit became ripe, and then returned to the god with a water-snake in his claws and a lie in his mouth, alleging the snake to have been the cause of the delay. In punishment he was forever fixed in the sky with the Cup and the Snake; and, we may infer, doomed to everlasting thirst by the guardianship of the Hydra over the Cup and its contents. From all this came other poetical names for our Corvus - Avis Ficarius, the Fig Bird; and Emansor, one who stays beyond his time; and a belief, in early folk-lore, that this alone among birds did not carry water to its young ...

The cycle which came to and end surely must have referred to a river of fresh water (the tail of Hydra). Here was the Babylonian Abyss and here was where Leo ended and Virgo took over.
