E haga o tere hia - te manu manu gutu pao hia  tagata te marama

Tere. 1. To run, to flee, to escape from a prison. 2. To sail a boat (also: hakatere); tere vaka, owner of a fishing boat. 3.

The ancient custom was like this: the novice fisherman would go to a hakanonoga; if he didn't catch anything, another fisherman would give him fishes to make him happy so he'd go again one day to the hakanonoga (more distant fishing zones where larger fishes are found).

Hati 1. To break (v.t., v.i.); figuratively: he hati te pou oka, to die, of a hopu manu in the exercise of his office (en route from Motu Nui to Orongo). 2. Closing word of certain songs. Vanaga. Hahati. 1. To break (see hati). 2. Roughly treated, broken (from physical exertion: ku hahati á te hakari) 3. To take to the sea: he hahati te vaka. Vanaga. Ha(ha)ti. To strike, to break, to peel off bark; slip, cutting, breaking, flow, wave (aati, ati, hahati); tai hati, breakers, surf; tumu hatihati, weak in the legs; hakahati, to persuade; hatipu, slate. P Pau.: fati, to break. Mgv.: ati, hati, to break, to smash. Mq.: fati, hati, id. Ta.: fati, to rupture, to break, to conquer. Churchill.

HAKI, v. Haw., also ha'i and ha'e, primary meaning to break open, separate, as the lips about to speak, to break, as a bone or other brittle thing, to break off, to stop, tear, rend, to speak, tell, bark as a dog; hahai, to break away, follow, pursue, chase; hai, a broken place, a joint; hakina, a portion, part; ha'ina, saying; hae, something torn, as a piece of kapa or cloth, a flog, ensign. Sam., fati, to break, break off; fa'i, to break off, pluck off, as a leaf, wrench off; fai, to say, speak, abuse, deride; sae, to tear off, rend; ma-sae, torn. Tah., fati, to break, break up, broken; fai, confess, reveal, deceive; faifai, to gather or pick fruit; haea, torn, rent; s. deceit, duplicity; hae-hae, tear anything, break an agreement; hahae, id. Tong., fati, break, rend. Marqu., fati, fe-fati, to break, tear, rend; fai, to tell, confess; fefai, to dispute. The same double meaning of 'to break' and 'to say' is found in the New Zealand and other Polynesian dialects. Malg., hai, haïk, voice, address, call. Lat., seco, cut off, cleave, divide; securis, hatchet; segmentum, cutting, division, fragment; seculum (sc. temporis), sector, follow eagerly, chase, pursue; sequor, follow; sica, a dagger; sicilis, id., a knife; saga, sagus, a fortune-teller. Greek, άγνυμι, break, snap, shiver, from Ѓαγ (Liddell and Scott); άγν, breakage, fragment; έκας, adv, far off, far away. Liddell and Scott consider έκας akin to έκαςτος, each, every, 'in the sense of apart, by itself', and they refer to the analysis of Curtius ... comparing Sanskrit kas, , kat (quis, qua, quid), who of two, of many, &c. Doubtless έκας and έκαςτος are akin 'in the sense of apart, by itself', but that sense arises from the previous sense of separating, cutting off, breaking off, and thus more naturally connects itself with the Latin sec-o, sac-er, and that family of words and ideas, than with such a forced compound as είς and κας. Sanskr., sach, to follow. Zend, hach, id. (Vid. Haug, 'Essay on Parsis'.) I am well aware that most, perhaps all, prominent philologists of the present time - 'whose shoe-strings I am not worthy to unlace' - refer the Latin sequor, secus, even sacer, and the Greek έπω, έπομαι, to this Sanskrit sach. Benfey even refers the Greek έκας to this sach, as explanatory of its origin and meaning. But, under correction, and even without the Polynesian congeners, I should hold that sach, 'to follow', in order to be a relative to sacer, doubtless originally meaning 'set apart', then 'devoted, holy', and of έκας, 'far off', doubtless originally meaning something 'separated', 'cut off from, apart from', must also originally have had a meaning of 'to be separated from, apart from', and then derivatively 'to come after, to follow'. The sense of 'to follow' implies the sense of 'to be apart from, to come after', something preceding. The links of this connection in sense are lost in Sanskrit, but still survive in the Polynesian haki, fati, and its contracted form hai, fai, hahai, as shown above. I am therefore inclined to rank the Latin sequor as a derivative of seco, 'to cut off, take off'. Welsh, haciaw, to hack; hag, a gash, cut; segur, apart, separate; segru, to put apart; hoc, a bill-hook; hicel, id. A.-Sax., saga, a saw; seax, knife; haccan, to cut, hack; sægan, to saw; saga, speech, story; secan, to seek. Anc. Germ., seh, sech, a ploughshare. Perhaps the Goth. hakul, A.-Sax. hacele, a cloak, ultimately refer themselves to the Polynes. hae, a piece of cloth, a flag. Anc. Slav., sieshti (siekā), to cut; siekyra, hatchet. Judge Andrews in his Hawaiian-English Dictionary observes the connection in Hawaiian ideas between 'speaking, declaring', and 'breaking'. The primary idea, which probably underlies both, is found in the Hawaiian 'to open, to separate, as the lips in speaking or about to speak'; and it will be observed that the same development in two directions shows itself in all the Polynesian diaclects, as well as in several of the West Aryan dialects also.

... From a point a little to the west of ζ [Adhafera, ζ Leonis] and not much farther from γ - when first observed the radiant point was in Cancer - issue the Leonids, the meteor stream of November 9th to 17th, its maximum now occurring on the 13th to 14th, which about every thirty-three years has furnished such wonderful displays, the last in 1866 and the next due in 1899.

Their first noticed appearance may have been in the year 137, since which date the stream has completed fifty-two revolutions. According to Theophanes of Byzantium, the shower was seen from there in November, 472; but the late Professor Newton, our deservedly great authority on the whole subject of meteors, commenced his list of the Leonids with their appearance on the 13th of October, 902, the Arabian Year of the Stars, during the night of the death of King Ibrahim ben Ahmad, and added:

It will be seen that all these showers are at intervals of a third of a century, that they are at a fixed day of the year, and that the day has moved steadily and uniformly along the calendar, at the rate of about a month in a thousand years. (Allen)

... This [η Carinae] is one of the most noted objects in the heavens, perhaps even so in almost prehistoric times, for Babylonian inscriptions seem to refer to a star noticeable from occasional faintness in its light, that Jensen thinks was η. And he claims it as one of the temple stars associated with Ea, or Ia, of Eridhu¹, the Lord of Waters, otherwise known as Oannes², the mysterious human fish and greatest god of the kingdom.

¹ Eridhu, or Eri-duga, the Holy City, Nunki, or Nunpe, one of the oldest cities in the world, even in ancient Babylonia, was that kingdom's flourishing port on the Persian Gulf, but, by the encroachment of the delta, its site is now one hundred miles inland. In its vicinity the Babylonians located their sacred Tree of Life.

² Berōssōs described Oannes as the teacher of early man in all knowledge; and in mythology he was even the creator of man and the father of Tammuz and Ishtar, themselves associated with other stars and sky figures. Jensen thinks Oannes connected with the stars of Capricorn; Lockyer finds his counterpart in the god Chnemu of Southern Egypt; and some have regarded him as the prototype of Noah ...

... The Pythagoreans make Phaeton fall into Eridanus, burning part of its water, and glowing still at the time when the Argonauts passed by. Ovid stated that since the fall the Nile hides its sources. Rigveda 9.73.3 says that the Great Varuna has hidden the ocean. The Mahabharata tells in its own style why the 'heavenly Ganga' had to be brought down. At the end of the Golden Age (Krita Yuga) a class of Asura who had fought against the 'gods' hid themselves in the ocean where the gods could not reach them, and planned to overthrow the government. So the gods implored Agastya (Canopus, alpha Carinae = Eridu) for help. The great Rishi did as he was bidden, drank up the water of the ocean, and thus laid bare the enemies, who were then slain by the gods. But now, there was no ocean anymore! Implored by the gods to fill the sea again, the Holy One replied: 'That water in sooth hath been digested by me. Some other expedient, therefore, must be thought of by you, if ye desire to make endeavour to fill the ocean ...

... Indeed, at the rituals of the installation, the chief is invested with the 'rule' or 'authority' (lewaa) over the land, but the land itself is not conveyed to him. The soil (qele) is specifically identified with the indigenous 'owners' (i taukei), a bond that cannot be abrogated. Hence the widespread assertion that traditionally (or before the Lands Commission) the chiefly clan was landless, except for what it had received in provisional title from the native owners, i.e., as marriage portion from the original people or by bequest as their sister's son ... The ruling chief has no corner on the means of production. Accordingly, he cannot compel his native subjects to servile tasks, such as providing or cooking his daily food, which are obligations rather of his own household, his own line, or of conquered people (nona tamata ga, qali kaisi sara). Yet even more dramatic conditions are imposed on the sovereignity at the time of the ruler's accession. Hocart observes that the Fijian chief is ritually reborn on this occasion; that is, as a domestic god. If so, someone must have killed him as a dangerous outsider. He is indeed killed by the indigenous people at the very moment of his consecration, by the offering of kava that conveys the land to his authority (lewaa). Grown from the leprous body of a sacrificed child of the native people, the kava the chief drinks poisons him ...

Sacred product of the people's agriculture, the installation kava is brought forth in Lau by a representative of the native owners (mataqali Taqalevu), who proceeds to separate the main root in no ordinary way but by the violent thrusts of a sharp implement (probably, in the old time, a spear). Thus killed, the root (child of the land) is then passed to young men (warriors) of royal descent who, under the direction of a priest of the land, prepare and serve the ruler's cup ... the tuu yaqona or cupbearer on this occasion should be a vasu i taukei e loma ni koro, 'sister´s son of the native owners in the center of the village'... Traditionally, remark, the kava root was chewed to make the infusion: The sacrificed child of the people is cannibalized by the young chiefs. The water of the kava, however, has a different symbolic provenance. The classic Cakaudrove kava chant, performed at the Lau installation rites, refers to it as sacred rain water from the heavens ... This male and chiefly water (semen) in the womb of a kava bowl whose feet are called 'breasts' (sucu), and from the front of which, tied to the upper part of an inverted triangle, a sacred cord stretches out toward the chief ... The cord is decorated with small white cowries, not only a sign of chieftainship but by name, buli leka, a continuation of the metaphor of birth - buli, 'to form', refers in Fijian procreation theory to the conceptual acception of the male in the body of the woman. The sacrificed child of the people will thus give birth to the chief. But only after the chief, ferocious outside cannibal who consumes the cannibalized victim, has himself been sacrificed by it. For when the ruler drinks the sacred offering, he is in the state of intoxication Fijians call 'dead from' (mateni) or 'dead from kava' (mate ni yaqona), to recover from which is explicitly 'to live' (bula). This accounts for the second cup the chief is alone accorded, the cup of fresh water. The god is immediately revived, brought again to life - in a transformed state ...

And from our experience with the coin carrying the Tail of the stranded Argo Navis ship (Amor = Roma backwards) on one side and the Head of Janus (under water, submerged) on the other, we can guess there was a kind of vertical contrast between Epimenides and Pythagoras.

Al Sharas was at the Full Moon in day 80 + 168 = 248 (September 5) and north of the equator this date indicated a time when summer (the 'year in leaf') was receding.
