On
the
twenty-third
day of
the

('Ana- |

they
reached

They

This part
of the text was not
translated
by
Barthel.
However
we can
give a
try:
They
went
dancing
(hoko)
around
to the
other
side of
the
mountain
Hau Epa. |

Page E:27 has
not been cut off
and number 27
could allude to
the 27-days on
the beautiful
beach of Oromanga.
...
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 days in
Oromanga. Everytime Kuukuu
asked, 'Where are you, friends?'
they immediately replied in one
voice, 'Here we are!' ...

Hoko.
1. To
jump; to rock or
swing in rhythm with the
chants in festivals, as was
the ancient custom; an
ancient
dance. He to'o mai e te hoa manu i te mamari ki toona rima, he ma'u,
he hoko, the 'bird
master' receives the egg in
his hand and carries it,
dancing. 2. Number prefix:
'in a group of...':
hokotahi,
alone; hokorua, in a group of two (also companion, e
hakarere te kai mo toou
hokorua, leave some food
for my companion); hakatoru, in a group of
three, etc.; hokohía,
in a group of how many? Hokohía ana oho koe ki te
rano? With how many
people will you go to the
volcano? Vanaga. 1. To
traffic, to trade, to buy,
to ransom (hoò); hoòa te kaiga, to buy
land. 2. To sport, to play.

To extend

The creators of
Manuscript E obviously were
manipulating their text at crucial
places in order to draw attention.
One such method was to cut off a
part of the page.

When Metoro
was reading rongorongo texts for Bishop
Jaussen on Tahiti also he tried to
draw attention by exceptional
behaviour. One such place was at
Cb4-11, where he seemingly changed
his mind:

Thus we
have both Metoro and
Manuscript E pointing
out the Roman date 'June
10:
... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th
[161] and ends of July 7th [188 =
161 + 27]. Midway comes St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive. The Celtic year was divided into two halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour ...

In the G text, we should remember, we can see a rising fish followed by descending fish with Wasat (Middle) placed in the middle. Inside the head of the Shark (Mago) in Ga2-14 - corresponding to 'June 10 - a rising line is abruptly cut off in the middle:
'June 24 (175) -
the Day of St John - should then
(in the C text) correspond to glyph number (420
+ 54 = 6 * 79) + (175 - 161 =
