has to revolve 1 day extra in
order to complete her year,
because the direction to the Sun
changes with 360º
in a year:
... The Euripus, which has already come up in the Phaedo, was really a channel between Euboea and the mainland, in which the conflict of the tides reverses the current as much as seven times a day, with ensuing dangerous eddies - actually a case of standing waves rather than a true whirl. We meet the name again at a rather unexpected place, in the Roman circus or hippodrome, as we know from J. Laurentius Lydus (De Mensibus I.12), who states that the center of the circus was called Euripos; that in the middle of the stadium was a pyramid, belonging to the Sun; that by the Sun's pyramid were three altars, of Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and below the pyramid, altars of Venus, Mercury, and the Moon, and that there were not more than seven circuits (kykloi) around the pyramid, because the planets were only seven. (See also F. M. Cornford's chapter on the origin of the Olympic games in J. Harrison's Themis (1962), p. 228; G. Higgins' Anacalypsis (1927), vol. 2., pp. 372ff.) This brings to mind (although not called Euripus, obviously, but 'the god's place of skulls') the Central American Ball Court which had a round hole in its center, termed by Tezozomoc 'the enigmatic significance of the ball court', and from this hole a lake spread out before Uitzilopochtli was born. See W. Krickeberg, 'Der mittelamerikanische Ballspielplatz und seine religiöse Symoblik', Paideuma 3 (1948), pp. 135ff., 155, 162.
And here the unstable Euripus of the Ocean, which flows back to the beginnings of its mysterious source, dragged with irresistible force the unhappy sailors, thinking by now only of death, towards Chaos. This is said to be the maw of the abyss, that unknown depth in which, it is understood, the ebb and flow of the whole sea is absorbed and then thrown up again, which is the cause of the tides. This is reflection of what had been a popular idea of antiquity. But here comes a version of the same story in North America. It concerns the canoe adventures of two Cherokees at the mouth of Suck Creek. One of them was seized by a fish, and never seen again. The other was taken round and round to the very lowest center of the whirlpool, when another circle caught him and bore him outward. He told afterwards that when he reached the narrowest circle of the maelstroem the water seemed to open below and he could look down as through the roof beam of a house, and there on the bottom of the river he had seen a great company, who looked up and beckoned to him to join them, but as they put up their hands to seize him the swift current caught him and took him out of their reach. It is almost as if the Cherokees have retained a better memory, when they talk of foreign regions, inhabited by 'a great company' - which might equally well be the dead, or giants with their dogs - there, where in 'the narrowest circle of the maelstroem the water seemed to open below' ...

| ... The ordinary year in the previous Roman calendar consisted of 12 months, for a total of 355 days. In addition, a 27-day intercalary month, the Mensis Intercalaris, was sometimes inserted between February and March. This intercalary month was formed by inserting 22 days after the first 23 or 24 days of February; the last five days of February, which counted down toward the start of March, became the last five days of Intercalaris. The net effect was to add 22 or 23 days to the year, forming an intercalary year of 377 or 378 days ... |

... It grew
light, and again Ira
spoke. This is what he said:
'Turn around, all of you,
and go down to ride the
waves (literally, 'to the
turtle, to act like a
turtle') ... This happened
when they had gone up to the
yam plantation of Kuukuu:
... With the elimination of
Kuukuu, Makoi
achieves superior status
among the sons of Hua
Tava: the last-born now
holds the rank of the
first-born. Through the
meeting with Nga Tavake,
the representative of the
original population in the
area north of Rano Kau,
the number of the explorers
is once again complete. Not
only are Kuukuu and
Nga Tavake related as
'loss' and 'gain', but also
they share the same economic
function: it was Kuukuu's
special mission to establish
a yam plantation after the
landing (in this role he
represents the vital
function of the good
planter);
Nga Tavake joined the
explorers to work with them
in the yam plantation of the
dead Kuukuu (i.e., he
closes the gap caused by the
death of Kuukuu among
the planters)
...
... After they had departed
from Pu Pakakina they
reached Vai Marama
and met a man. Ira
asked, 'How many are you?'
He answered, 'There are two
of us.' Ira continued
asking, 'Where is he (the
other)?' To that he
answered, 'The one died.'
Again Ira asked, 'Who
has died?' He replied, 'That
was Te Ohiro A Te Runu.'
Ira asked anew, 'And
who are you?' He answered,
'Nga Tavake A Te Rona.'
(E:46)
... RAP. rona means
primarily 'sign' (an
individual sign in the
Rongorongo script or a
painted or carved sign made
on a firm background, such
as a petroglyph), but also
'sculpture' (made from wood
or stone, representing
animals or hybrid creatures)
...
rona (lona)
implies the idea of
'maintaining a straight
line' with ropes and nets
and also the maintaining of
a steady course (in MAO. and
TUA.).
Te Rona
is the name of a star in
TUA., which Makemson
(1941:251) derives from the
mythical figure of 'Rona',
who is connected with the
moon and is considered to be
the father of (the moon
goddess) Hina (for
this role in MAO., see
Tregear 1891:423). From west
Polynesia come totally
different meanings.
Interesting perhaps is FIJ.
lona, 'to wonder what
one is to eat, fasting for
the dead.'
...
... They all went up to the
yam plantation of Kuukuu.
Once they had arrived there,
Ira stayed for one
month. Ira and all
the others stayed there and
cleaned up the yam
plantation. They finished
weeding the yam plantation.
Another day dawned, and
Ira said to Raparenga,
Come here, you, so that I
can teach you a verse (ki)!
Raparenga came, and
Ira taught him the
verse. This is the verse he
was taught:
There are eight lands. One
has been discovered, namely,
'the little piece of earth'
(te pito o te kainga).
Seven (lands) (remain) in
the midst of dim twilight
during the fast journey (i
te pei). Once lost
(i.e., the eighth land), not
even eight groups of people
(i.e., countless boat crews)
can find it again.
And Ira continued his
speech:
Ruhi
to the right, Pu to
the left, and Hinariru
in the middle,
mother-of-pearl necklace
around the neck of the
figure Hinariru.
Raparenga
said to Ira, Where is
the figure of Hinariru?
Ira replied to
Raparenga, Up there, on
top of that flat rock (papa),
at the place where we rode
the waves. Raparenga
said to Ira, Let's
return (there) to see (the
figure)! Ira replied,
Oh (no), let's leave it
alone. When we ride the
waves again, the wave will
move quickly. If it moves to
the right, the eye looks in
the right direction and
catches a glimpse of Ruhi
Hepii. From there the
ornament of Ruhi Hepii
shines! Then one goes
back out again, the wave
moves to the left, the eye
looks in the left direction,
towards Pu. There the
ornament of Pu shines
forth! One repeats (riding
the waves) toward the
middle, the eye looks toward
Papa O Rae. There the
mother-of-pearl necklace of
the figure Hinariru
shines forth!
The text
in Manuscript E seems to
state that the
Explorers (the planets)
went from Pu Pakakina,
then they were joined by Nga
Tavake who
filled in the gap left by
the disabled Kuukuu
(mortally wounded by the
flipper of a turtle),
and then they went up to the yam
plantation all together
to stay there
for 1 month in order to
clean it up.

Churchill. The
Maori recognized
two main
divisions of the
year: winter or
takurua,
a name for
Sirius which
then shone as
morning star,
and summer,
raumati or
o-rongo-nui,
'of the great
Rongo', god
of agriculture.
They
occasionally
recognized
spring as the
digging season
koanga,
from ko,
the digging
stick or spade.
The autumn or
harvest season
was usually
spoken of as
ngahuru,
'tenth' (month),
although it was
considered to
include also the
last two months
of the year.
Mahuru was
the
personification
of spring.
Makemson.
The word
maiva could
possibly be
mai-iva,
where mai
= sick and
iva = 9, in
a way possibly
implying the day
which was number
10 (hangahuru)
+ mai(i)va
= 29. When the
Sun was in
August (Hora
Iti) then
the Full Moon (Hotu)
was in February
and there was no
day 29 in
Tehetu'upú.
Furthermore,
Tehetu'upú 9
(40) could
have been
alluded to (2-9)
because in Roman
times this would
have been day 40
+ 14 = 54
('February 23 =
Terminalia). The
Full Moon was in
Tehetu'upú 28
(= 9 + 19) when
the Sun reached
the 'plumb line'
between the Fox
and Spica.
... There is a
further
motivation of
the same in the
kava
taken
immediately
after the
chief's by the
herald, a
representative
of the land.
This drinking is
'to kick',
rabeta, the
chief's kava.
Raberabe,
the same
reduplicated
version, means
'a sickness',
the result of
kicking
accidently
against a 'drau-ni-kau'...
The herald here
takes the
effects on
himself:

name for
'sorcery'... |

29 - 16 = 13,
and August 13 is day 225 in
our Gregorian calendar. But
'another day dawned' could
mean we should count 225 + 1
= 226 as the day when Ira
(the Sun) taught
Raparenga (the Moon) an
important verse. Or rather
that we should count 225 + 1

... 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

Glyph 29 on side b was at
Tau-ono (the first part
of the Pleiades). And from
there to the end of side b
there were 348 - 29 = 11 *
29 glyphs. The last line on
side b carried 19 glyphs and
11 * 29 - 19 = 300.
Similarly
can we find 29 at the
beginning of side a by
adding 19 (glyph line Cb14):

... At the
beginning of 44
B.C. - when
Ceasar was still
alive - the
Senate decided
to raise statues
of him in all
the temples and
to sacrifice to
him on his
birthday in the
month
Quintilis,
which in honour
of him was
renamed July. He
was raised to
the status of a
god (among the
other gods of
the state) under
the name Jupiter
Julius. Marcus
Antonius, who
this year was
consul together
with Ceasar,
became high
priest and
responsible for
the ceremonies.
In the middle of
February, at the
time of the old
feast of
Lupercalia
[cfr Lupus
= Wolf], he ran
around naked and
whipped the
Roman ladies
with thongs made
from goat-skin [februa],
in order to
promote their
fertility ... |
