books that he considered it significant that
neke-neke was a special word in the
vocabulary of Easter Island, it meant 'walking
without legs, walking by moving the weight this
side and that slowly advancing forward'. He had
discovered the word when he asked how the
statues had been moved - they walked (neke-neke)
