They left poor Kuukuu alone in his cave
but reassured him by leaving 6 stone heaps at
the outer edge (i te hihi) to
answer his calls:
...
They prepared a soft bed for him in the cave
and let him rest there. They stayed there,
rested, and lamented the severely injured
Kuukuu. Kuukuu said, 'Promise me,
my friends, that you will not abandon me!'
They all replied, 'We could never abandon
you!' They stayed there twenty-seven [27]
days in Oromanga. Everytime Kuukuu
asked, 'Where are you, friends?' they
immediately replied in one voice, 'Here we
are!' They all sat down and thought. They
had an idea and Ira spoke, 'Hey, you!
Bring the round stones (from the shore) and
pile them into six heaps of stones!' One of
the youths said to Ira, 'Why do we
want heaps of stone?' Ira replied,
'So that we can all ask the stones to do
something.' They took (the material) for the
stone heaps (pipi horeko) and piled
up six heaps of stone at the outer edge of
the cave. Then they all said to the stone
heaps, 'Whenever he calls, whenever he calls
for us, let your voices rush (to him)
instead of the six (of us) (i.e., the six
stone heaps are supposed to be substitutes
for the youths). They all drew back to
profit (from the deception) (? ki honui)
and listened. A short while later, Kuukuu
called. As soon as he had asked, 'Where are
you?' the voices of the stone heaps replied,
'Here we are!' All (the youths) said, 'Hey,
you! That was well done!' ... [E:27-30]

The outer edge of the cave was presumably
referring to Tau-ono ('6 Stones') in
day 500 (= 365 + 135). If so, we should look
for this place at glyph number 285 + (500 -
429) = 356 (= 2 * 178):

was raised to the status of a god

... The
Sensitive plant (Mimosa
pudica L.) is a creeping
annual or perennial herb often
grown for its curiosity value:
the compound leaves fold inward
and droop when touched,
re-opening within minutes.
Mimosa pudica is native to
Brazil, but is now a pantropical
weed. Other names given to this
curious plant are Humble plant,
TickleMe plant, Shame plant,
Sleeping Grass, Prayer plant,
Touch-me-not, Makahiya
(Philippines, meaning 'shy'),
Mori Vivi (West Indies),
mate-loi (false death)
(Tonga) ... In the evening the
leaflets will fold together and
the whole leaf droops downward.
It then re-opens at sunrise

... 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 ... |
