Niu. Palm tree, coconut tree; hua niu, coconut. Vanaga. Coconut, palm, spinning top. P Pau., Ta.: niu, coconut. Mgv.: niu, a top; niu mea, coconut. Mq.: niu, coconut, a top. Churchill. The fruit of miro. Buck. T. 1. Coconut palm. 2. Sign for peace. Henry. The sense of top lies in the fact that the bud end of a coconut shell is used for spinning, both in the sport of children and as a means of applying to island life the practical side of the doctrine of chances. Thus it may be that in New Zealand, in latitudes higher than are grateful to the coconut, the divination sense has persisted even to different implements whereby the arbitrament of fate may be declared. Churchill 2.

Surely the idea was here to compare the coconut with the 'spinning top' of the sky roof at the north pole, turning around once in every day.

And also turning around once in every 26000 years, although in the opposite direction:

In which case niu in Cb1-15 ought to be connected not with Bharani but with Kochab at the opposite side of the pole (and the year):

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion based on the oak-cult will be swept away by Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod, the Corona Borealis. This helps us to understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She was the hinge on which the year swung - the ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her importance as such is recorded in the Latin adjective cardinalis - as we say in English 'of cardinal importance - which was also applied to the four main winds; for winds were considered as under the sole direction of the Great Goddess until Classical times ...

The drums were sounding (rutua te pahu) and the sky was moving (rutua te maeva) - the words of Metoro Tau'a Ure when reading the text at the beginning of side b on the C tablet. His cryptic words might have alluded primarily not to the changes since Roman times but to the more profound earlier changes brought about when the north pole shifted from one side of the year to the opposite, i.e. when Ursa Major finally had to be abandoned in favour of Ursa Minor.

... Snorri Sterluson explains why 'Frodi's grist' is a kenning for gold. Frodi ruled during a peaceful and productive period, contemporaneous with Augustus's Pax Romana and the birth of Christ; hence the kenning. There were neither thieves nor robbers during this period, 'so that a gold ring lay long on Jalang's heath'. Snorri continues his account with the legend of the mill beyond what is told in the song: The girls' grinding produced an army hostile to Frodi. On the very day of the girls' predictions, the sea-king, Musing (Son of the Mouse), landed o the Danish shore, killed Frodi, and took away Grotti and the women on his ship. The girls were bidden to grind out salt on the mill. At midnight they asked for further instructions. 'Keep grinding', he told them. Then they ground with such vigor that the ship sank. Water poured into the eye of the mill, creating the maelstroem of the sea. Therefore the sea was salt. Incidentally, the mill was given a kenning, Serpent's Couch ...
