... 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 ...

And 12 days after the Crocodile (Spica) came κ Virginis (the Dragon) which at the time of rongorongo rose with the Sun *214 (= 2 * 107) days after 0h, corresponding to day day *214 - *64 = *150 at the time of the Bull (when Hyadum II had been at 0h).

We can recognize Corvus at the tail of the Red Bird of summer and then the Blue Dragon was rising.

... Ravens, unlike geese, loons and many other birds, do not in fact have penises - a fact recorded and accounted for in several ways in Northwest Coast mythology ... Live holothurians, when handled, have the disconcerting habit of transforming themselves suddenly from soft to hard or limp to stiff and back again. If handled enough, they will also ejaculate, disgorging their own viscera in apparent self-defence. This behavior is efficiently explained in a story Arthur Lewis told in Tsimshian to Gwüsk'aayn in the 1930s. The first holothurian, Lewis says, was the cast-off penis of the Raven ...

... Sea cucumbers have also inspired thousands of haiku in Japan, where they are called namako (ナマコ), written with characters that can be translated 'sea mice'. In English translations of these haiku, they are usually called 'sea slugs'; according to the Oxford English Dictionary, the term 'sea slug' originally referred to holothurians (in the 18th century), though biologists now use the name only for the nudibranch molluscs, marine relatives of land slugs. Almost 1,000 Japanese holothurian haiku translated into English appear in the book Rise, Ye Sea Slugs! by Robin D. Gill ...

Once Ira had satisfied himself with his arrangement it was time to let Makoi take over:

... Ira rode the waves toward the right side. He looked diagonally toward the land, looked in the direction of Ruhi Hepii, and the ornament of Ruhu Hepii shone brightly. He went back out into the sea, and the movement of the wave was to the left side. Again he glanced, this time in the direction of Pu, and the ornament of Pu shone brightly. Again he went out into the sea. From the middle, the two necklaces around the neck of the two figurines shone (toward him). His ride on the wave ended in Rio, and therefore the name Hanga O Rio was given. Ira remained on shore, pondered, and said, This is well done! Ruhi to the right, Pu to the left, and Hinariru Nui and Hinariru Iti in the middle.

[E:37] They all got up, climbed up, and entered into the cave. Ira said the following to Makoi: You are the one who shall stay here. We, on the other hand, have to turn around. Makoi replied, All right with me! Then Ira continued to speak to Makoi: Tomorrow, when it grows light, set out and name the places beginning with Apina. Makoi replied, How shall I give the names? Again Ira spoke, In Hiva are the names that are to be taken to name (the places of the new land).

It grew light and Makoi got up. He set out and came to Apina. When he arrived there, he gave the name This is Apina Iti, this is Rapa Kura. He went on and came to Hanga O Ua. He gave the name This is Hanga O Ua of the Beautiful Wave (vave renga). Makoi went on, giving names, until he had made a (complete) circle around both sides (of the island). In Apina Nui a stone (maea) was erected, saying that the naming was done on a (round) trip during a single day ...

Barthel has changed the name ko hanga o uo to ko hanga o ua, an example of manipulations which threaten to obliterate original meanings. I guess the intention of the creators of the Manuscript, when they wrote ou instead of ua, was to render a special meaning, a hint in the background so to say.

... The Sacred Book of the ancient Maya Quiche, the famous Popol Vuh (the Book of Counsel) tells of Zipacna, son of Vucub-Caquix (= Seven Arata). He sees 400 youths dragging a huge log that they want as a ridgepole for their house. Zipacna alone carries the tree without effort to the spot where a hole has been dug for the post to support the ridgepole. The youths, jealous and afraid, try to kill Zipacna by crushing him in the hole, but he escapes and brings down the house on their heads. They are removed to the sky, in a 'group', and the Pleiades are called after them ...

... How shall I give the names? Again Ira spoke, 'In Hiva are the names that are to be taken to name (the places of the new land)' ...

Hiva. Name of the country from where, according to tradition, came the Polynesian immigration of Hotu Matu'a; nowadays, this name designates any continent or foreign country: tagata Hiva, foreigner, person from the mainland. Vanaga. Strange, alien, foreign; a stranger; kuhane hiva, Holy Ghost; hakahiva: mata hakahiva, to look back (? hakahira). Mq., Mgv.: hiva, iva, a stranger, a person from another district or country.

By repeatedly copying and carrying forward the old names and structures - and securing their meanings by numerous eye-catching crossconnections - there eventually would have been established a global consensus. For instance can we recognize the rising Blue Dragon in the first Mayan day sign Imix:

... The life-force of the earth is water. God moulded the earth with water. Blood too he made out of water. Even in a stone there is this force, for there is moisture in everything. But if Nummo is water, it also produces copper. When the sky is overcast, the sun's rays may be seen materializing on the misty horizon. These rays, excreted by the spirits, are of copper and are light. They are water too, because they uphold the earth's moisture as it rises. The Pair excrete light, because they are also light ... 'The sun's rays,' he went on, 'are fire and the Nummo's excrement. It is the rays which give the sun its strength. It is the Nummo who gives life to this star, for the sun is in some sort a star.' It was difficult to get him to explain what he meant by this obscure statement. The Nazarene made more than one fruitless effort to understand this part of the cosmogony; he could not discover any chink or crack through which to apprehend its meaning. He was moreover confronted with identifications which no European, that is, no average rational European, could admit. He felt himself humiliated, though not disagreeably so, at finding that his informant regarded fire and water as complementary, and not as opposites. The rays of light and heat draw the water up, and also cause it to descend again in the form of rain. That is all to the good. The movement created by this coming and going is a good thing. By means of the rays the Nummo draws out, and gives back the life-force. This movement indeed makes life ...

The second day sign was Ik (air, life) and this was the next stage, when the lower hemisphere (of fishes) gave way for the upper hemisphere (of birds).

Easter Island was far down and Hawaii far up. Gravitation moved everything downwards, but there had to be a return force in order to keep the cycle going. The first day sign of the Mayas was Imix (the water dragon) and its undulating movements illustrated how there was another force than gravitation, viz. the force of growth ...

This could have been the reason for the rongorongo glyph lines ascending in an undulating fashion instead of descending.
