Potu.
Small
stick (toothpick?);
extremity or remainder
of something. Vanaga.
End, tip.
Potupotu,
cockroach. Churchill.
The remainder (potu)
of the last half of the
double-month of
Vai-tu corresponded
to the pair ua
(rain) in Cb2-4 together
with tagata
compounded with a little digging
stick (potu) in
front.
... What
do I mean by a compound?
By compound I mean a
glyph which presumably
is not fundamental (like
an atom) but instead the
result of the blending
together of two or more
types of glyphs (like in
a chemical compound).
I believe
this example is made by
fusion between these two
types of glyph:
 
Compounds
are often difficult to
'see through', when the
glyphs partaking are
shown just by a little
sign

... The leap day was
introduced as part of
the Julian reform. The
day following the
Terminalia (February 23)
was doubled, forming the
'bis sextum -
literally 'double
sixth', since February
24 was 'the sixth day
before the Kalends of
March' using Roman
inclusive counting
(March 1 was the 'first
day'). Although
exceptions exist, the
first day of the bis
sextum (February 24)
was usually regarded as
the intercalated or
'bissextile' day since
the third century.
February 29 came to be
regarded as the leap day
when the Roman system of
numbering days was
replaced by sequential
numbering in the late
Middle Ages ... |

On Easter Island the summer season (hora) may have been considered to begin when in the night of Hora Iti 20 it could be observed that the Full Moon was where Ursa Major lifted up her southern (back side) front paw, viz. in August 4 = 11 + 34 + 183 = 228 (= 364 - 136) days after the December solstice:
This was 80 nights after Alcyone had returned to visibility (in Te Maro 1).
In view of its importance we should then continue by mapping the other main events which according to Manuscript E occurred on Easter Island during these 80 days (nights). The Explorers (excepting Kuukuu who was down in his cave) went on to Papa O Pea in Hora Iti 20 and this was at the end of their 27 night long stay at Oromanga, for they had arrived to Rangi Meamea in He Anakena 23.

... A sidelight falls upon the notions connected with the stag by Horapollo's statement concerning the Egyptian writing of 'A long space of time: A Stag's horns grow out each year. A picture of them means a long space of time.' Chairemon (hieroglyph no. 15, quoted by Tzetzes) made it shorter: 'eniautos: elaphos'. Louis Keimer, stressing the absence of stags in Egypt, pointed to the Oryx (Capra Nubiana) as the appropriate 'ersatz', whose head was, indeed, used for writing the word rnp = year, eventually in 'the Lord of the Year', a well-known title of Ptah. Rare as this modus of writing the word seems to have been - the Wörterbuch der Aegyptischen Sprache (eds. Erman and Grapow), vol. 2, pp. 429-33, does not even mention this variant - it is worth considering (as in every subject dealt with by Keimer), the more so as Chairemon continues his list by offering as number 16: 'eniautos: phoinix', i.e., a different span of time, the much-discussed 'Phoenix-period' (ca. 500 years) ...
