Hua Reva
During the waxing phase of the moon it is observed rising from a
beginning at the horizon in the west towards full moon and zenith.
The Mamari moon calendar has evidently located the night
Ohua as glyph 26 of those 36 needed to reach Omotohi
(full moon). Both according to Englert and Métraux
Ohua
is the night immediately before Otua (or Atua), i.e.
night number 9 respectively 12.
Hua Reva
means that the 'fruit' (hua)
is being uplifted (reva),
but the 'fruit' is not the moon. It is the spirit of the sun who is
uplifted towards the sky like a fish from the sea. 10 * 29.5 = 295
is the location of the
kuhane
station
Hua
Reva.
Or counted according to regular sun months: 10 * 30 = 300.
Below are listed 6 *

Taking the cue from the Mamari moon calendar we could read these glyphs as if
they were moon nights instead
of sun days. Counting could then begin with Gb2-27 as zero:
|
|
|
|
|
Gb2-27 (0) |
Gb2-28 |
Gb2-29 |
Gb2-30 |
Gb2-31 |
|
|
|

|

Gb2-34 (7) |
Gb2-35 |

|

|
|
|

Gb2-35 (8) has an arrangment of hua poporo presumably
illustrating that sun has only 3 quarter (berries), how at the
top (midsummer) one berry seems to be lost, and how at bottom right (the
last quarter) another berry is missing. Then follows a new glyph
line, 2 * 35 = 10 * 7, and 29 (at Gb3-21) is a measure using the light from
the sun reflected from the moon during 4 weeks, i.e. in short
'10' (sun) and '7' (moon).
The oval in
Gb3-5 (13) looks like the moon in the night Ohua, not
quite like a sphere yet.
The very last glyph in what presumably is the longest of the calendar cycles
in G has number 496
(= 16 * 31).
10 * 30.5 = 305 is Gb3-14, certainly alluding to π,
meaning a cycle has ended. As a confirmation we find its ordinal
number (beyond Gb2-27) to be 22 (hinting at the formula π = 22 /
7). Moreover, from 305 up to and including 496 there are 192
glyphs, an important number, which here aquires the property of
being very close to 2 * 22 / 7 * 30.5 (= 191.71).
A
new season is about to be born in Gb3-13, because sun is going
away and a new cycle takes its beginning at Gb3-14 (192 = the
circumference of a circle with radius 30½). There is a
hole instead of an eye in Gb3-14, and an empty space is
illustrated also in Gb3-16.
Gb3-9 (17) is characterized by ominous numbers (a triplet of 9
and 17). The glyph depicts how tapa mea is transformed
into a verocious gap, filled with teeth (9 of them). The idea is
that sun will be swallowed. The following glyph (18) stands
beyond the limit (1 more than the full measure 300 days for the
sun) - 8 feathers at left are balanced by 8 at right.
|
Sun does not die at high summer,
he is only changed from raw nature, growing without limit, into a more
'cultivated' person. At Hua Reva it is time for next transformation,
another 'maw' is opening up for him (cfr Gb3-9). The same glyph type is seen
in Pb11-42:
|
|
|
|
|
Pb11-39 |
Pb11-40 |
Pb11-41 |
Pb11-42 |
Pb11-43 |
Another
(complementary) reading is that a season is opening up (vaha). The
black quarter following Venus down into the earth is now over:
Vaha
Hollow; opening; space between the fingers (vaha
rima); door cracks (vaha papare). Vahavaha, to
fight, to wrangle, to argue with abusive words. Vanaga.
1. Space, before T; vaha takitua, perineum.
PS Mgv.: vaha, a space, an open place. Mq.: vaha,
separated, not joined. Ta.: vaha, an opening. Sa.: vasa,
space, interval. To.: vaha, vahaa, id. Fu.: vasa,
vāsaà, id. Niuē: vahā.
2. Muscle, tendon; vahavaha,
id. Vahahora (vaha
1 - hora 2), spring.
Vahatoga (vaha
1 - toga 1), autumn. 3.
Ta.: vahavaha, to
disdain, to dislike. Ha.: wahawaha,
to hate, to dislike.

Presumably the shape is a mixture
of tapa mea and haati:
|
|
|
|
tapa mea |
Pb11-42 |
Gb3-9 (17) |
haati |
The 'thigh' is up,
it is not an upside down version of haati, but the 'knee' is turned
to the back, which I guess means 'infertile'. In Gb3-14 a new season, once
again fertile, opens up.
The constellation Pb11-42--43 confirms the idea that tapa
mea depicts a canoe, or at least the same type of object as can be seen
in tao. The ordinal number for Pb11-42 (counted from Pa1-1) can be
reconstructed as 1140 = 19 * 60, which (like -42) means a final for the sun.
Therefore we should regard the glyphs around Pb11-42 as structurally related
to the Hua Reva glyphs in G:
|
|
|
|
|
Pb11-39 |
Pb11-40 |
Pb11-41 |
Pb11-42 |
Pb11-43 |
|
|
|
|
|
Gb3-7 (15) |
Gb3-8 |
Gb3-9 |
Gb3-10 |
Gb3-11 |
The meaning is not
the same, though, because Pb11-40 and Pb11-43 are without 'feathers', and
the order is reversed between Pb11-41 and Gb3-11. Gb3-8 seems to be standing
up, while Pb11-40 looks upside down.
The calendar of the week (Pb10-29 -- Pb11-5) has Pb11-1 in Saturday, and
counting from there Pb11-42 will be number 42. In G a calendar for the week
- or at least for the planets - similarly comes not far before Hua Reva
(Gb1-26 -- Gb2-8). 35 (b2) + 7 (Gb3-7) = 42:
|

Could Pa2-32 also be a glyph in
Hua Reva?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pa2-27 |
Pa2-28 |
Pa2-29 |
Pa2-30 |
Pa2-31 |
Pa2-32 (85) |
Pa2-33 |
Pa2-34 |
Gb2-32 has ordinal number 8 * 36 =
288. From a state on land (Pa2-27) the key persons have, it seems, settled
in water (Pa2-34).
Pa2-30 (83 counted from Pa1-1) looks much like the very last glyph in the
longest cycle in G:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ga1-17 |
Ga1-18 |
Ga1-19 |
Ga1-20 |
Ga1-21 |
Ga1-22 |
Ga1-23 |
Ga1-24 |
Ga1-25 |
Ga1-23 and Pa2-33
are obviously to be compared. The are the same, yet opposites. 2 * 30 (in
Pa2-30) = 60, while in Ga1-24 another 'coinage' is used. Two tao
glyphs in G, but only one in P.
And then there are not only one ariki glyph of this
type in P:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pa2-30 |
Pa2-35 |
Pa3-42 (154) |
Pa6-49 |
Pa6-50 |

Pa9-35 |
|
|
|
|
|
Pa9-41 |
Pb2-12 |
Pb3-9 |
Pb5-30 |
Pb8-51 |
514 - 154
(obviously referring to each other) = 360.
3 * 42 = 126 = 7 *
18 and 9 * 26 = 234 = 13 * 18.
6 * 18 (= 234 - 126) = 108 = 4 * 27.
