434. The number of glyphs on side a of the C tablet ís 392 which, we will now realize, could be regarded as the sum of 78 and 314:

... [E:17] On the twenty-fifth day of the first month (Vaitu Nui), Ira and Makoi set sail; on the first day of June ('Maro'), the bow of Ira's canoe appeared on the distant horizon, came closer and closer on its course, and sailed along, and finally (one) could see the (new home) land ...

By using the time-frame of Bharani as a stepping stone it was evidently possible to go back in time-space to the age of Virgo by reducing its right ascension day numbers with 80. This will bring us to the time when Spica was around day *81 (= *202 - *80 -*41), i.e. around day 282 - 121 = 161 (JUNE 10), when the month of Jus Piter (Jupiter, Father Light) was beginning.

At the same time Canopus (175, St John's Day) should have been around day 175 - 80 - 41 = 54 (= 31 + 23 i.e. at TERMINALIA), to be compared with *54 ("May 14) = *95 - *41.

... In view of the almost universal prevalence of the Pleiades year throughout the Polynesian area it is surprising to find that in the South Island and certain parts of the North Island of New Zealand and in the neighboring Chatham Islands, the year began with the new Moon after the yearly morning rising, not of the Pleiades, but of the star Rigel in Orion ...

Then we learned that five hundred and forty-two days later (1.9.2 in the Maya system), Hun-Nal-Ye 'entered or became the sky' (och ta chan). This 'entering' event occurred on February 5, 3112 BC ...

Oho. 1. To go: ka-oho! go! go away! (i.e. 'goodbye' said by the person staying behind); ka-oho-mai (very often contracted to: koho-mai), welcome! (lit.: come here); ku-oho-á te tagata, the man has gone. Ohoga, travel, direction of a journey; ohoga-mai, return. 2. Also rauoho, hair. Vanaga. 1. To delegate; rava oho, to root. 2. To go, to keep on going, to walk, to depart, to retire; ka oho, begone, good-bye; oho amua, to preced; oho mai, to come, to bring; oho arurua, to sail as consorts; hakaoho, to send, a messenger. 3. Tehe oho te ikapotu, to abut, adjoin; mei nei tehe i oho mai ai inei te ikapotu, as far as, to; kai oho, to abstain, to forego; hakaoho, to put on the brakes. 4. The head (only in the composite rauoho, hair). Churchill.

Half a year (366 / 2 = 183 days) later the Explorers (excepting Makoi who stayed behind and Kuukuu who had been carried down into a cave) returned to Hiva. This measure indicates the cycle of the Sun year and therefore it is reasonable to use the current positions of the stars rather than the positions of the stars at the time of Bharani (which I earlier have suggested from the time of the arrival of Hotu A Matua in day 288 because this could point to Antares).

... Ira, Raparenga, Uure, Nonoma, and Ringiringi got up and left the 'Dark abyss of Hau Maka' (i.e., Rano Kau), arrived at Hanga Te Pau, put the canoe into the water, and sailed off to Hiva, to Maori. Ira left on the twenty-fifth day of the month of October (Tangaroa Uri). When Ira's canoe reached the islets (off the southwestern coast), Makoi (who was staying behind) shouted the following (after him): Eight lands (are there), one has been found (or, an eighth land has been found for the first time, evaru kainga katahi i revaa), that is, Te Pito O Te Kainga. During the fast journey, one cannot find the seven lands in the midst of dim twilight. Once (Easter Island) has been lost, not even eight groups of people (i.e., countless boat crews) can find (it) again. - Ruhi to the right, Pu to the left, necklace around the neck of Hinariru at Papa O Rae!
