311. The figure of Oto Uta broke at the neck, whereas the necks of the pair of Hinariru figures in contrast were adorned by mother-of-pearl necklaces.
... 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 Explorers had gone to the cave Pu Pakakina A Ira in Hora Iti 29 ("August 29) and in Tangaroa 30 ("October 30) Hotu A Maua had asked where the stone figure of his ancestor Oto Uta was. *224 ("October 30) - *161 ("August 29) = *63 (= 9 weeks).

On the twenty-sixth day of the month of August ('Hora Iti') they went from Papa O Pea to Ahu Akapu. They all went and reached Ahu Akapu. They looked around and gave the name 'Ahu Akapu A Hau Maka'. They also saw (all of) Te Pito O Te Kainga, looked around, and gave (the whole island) the name 'Te Pito O Te Kainga A Hau Maka'. [E:31] They made camp and rested at Ahu Akapu for two days.

On the twenty-ninth day of the month of August ('Hora Iti') they went to Pu Pakakina. They arrived, remained there, and gave the name 'Pu Pakakina A Ira'. They remained one month in Pu Pakakina. |

I guess the idea of a broken neck was derived from the neck of Cetus:
There was a Knot (Alrisha) at his neck and close by was Mira (ο Ceti):

... Although an old constellation, Cetus is by no means of special interest, except as possessing the south pole of the Milky Way and the Wonderful Star, the variable Mira; and from the fact that it is a condensation point of nebulae directly across the sphere from Virgo, also noted in this respect ...
... Mira also known as Omicron Ceti (ο Ceti, ο Cet), is a red giant star estimated 200-400 light years away in the constellation Cetus. Mira is a binary star, consisting of the red giant Mira A along with Mira B. Mira A is also an oscillating variable star and was the first non-supernova variable star discovered, with the possible exception of Algol. Apart from the unusual Eta Carinae, Mira is the brightest periodic variable in the sky that is not visible to the naked eye for part of its cycle ...
In a way Mira therefore can illustrate how life (light) departs, yet returns again after the completion of a cycle.
... In 1638 Johannes Holwarda determined a period of the star's reappearances, eleven months; he is often credited with the discovery of Mira's variability. Johannes Hevelius was observing it at the same time and named it 'Mira' (meaning 'wonderful' or 'astonishing,' in Latin) in 1662's Historiola Mirae Stellae, for it acted like no other known star. Ismail Bouillaud then estimated its period at 333 days, less than one day off the modern value of 332 days, and perfectly forgivable, as Mira is known to vary slightly in period, and may even be slowly changing over time ... |

... In the sky, Perseus lies next to his beloved Andromeda. Nearby are her parents Cepheus and Cassiopeia, as well as the monster, Cetus, to which she was sacrificed. Pegasus, the winged horse, completes the tableau. Perseus himself is shown holding the Gorgon’s head. The star that Ptolemy called ‘the bright one in the Gorgon head’ is Beta Persei, named Algol from the Arabic ra’s al-ghul meaning the demon’s head. (As an aside, al-ghul is also the origin of our word alcohol - quite literally ‘the demon drink’.) Algol is the type of star known as an eclipsing binary, consisting of two close stars that orbit each other, in this case every 2.9 days ... |

Algol - the other strangely oscillating star - at the left eye of the Gorgon came 12 days later and could have illustrated the time after the head had been severed, after the winter demon had been decapitated.
The corresponding season south of the equator should be half a year away and Algol could therefore have been close to the Full Moon in SEPTEMBER 1 (244 = 61 + 183), corresponding to November 4 (*228 = *164 + *64).
At the time of Bharani this date should have been around *228 + 39 (= 80 - *41) = 267 (Hora Nui 24) = 84 + 183. And for Mira the Full Moon date would have been around 12 days earlier, i.e. in Hora Nui 12 (72 + 183).
We have been there before:

... Al Hāris al Samā, the Keeper of Heaven, perhaps came from the star's [Arcturus] early visibility in the twilight owing to its great northern declination [19° 27′ N], as though on the lookout for the safety and proper deportment of his lesser stellar companions, and so 'Patriarch Mentor of the Train'. This subsequently became Al Hāris al Simāk, the Keeper of Simāk, probably referring to Spica, the Unarmed One ... The word Simāk is of disputed signification, and was a fruitful subject of discussion a century ago. It is from a root meaning 'to raise on high', and is thought to have been employed by the Arabs when they wished to indicate any prominent object high up in the heavens, but with special reference to this star [Arcturus] and to the other Simāk, Spica of the Virgin ... |
