339. According to Manuscript E there was a pair of dates at Heze which presumably alluded to Hina-riru (Babylonian Erua) - Life in Death (no life without death):

... In Chinese astronomy Spica was a great favorite as Kió, the Horn, or Spike, anciently Keok or Guik, the special star of springtime; and with ζ formed their 12th sieu under that title ...

... With due deference to so great authorities, I would suggest that the above group of Greek words be referred to the Sanskrit ru, lu, lædere, secare, with the prefix t; and they would thus at once fall into line with their Polynesian relatives, whose development of sense is perfectly analogous to the Greek group, though their development of form has been arrested. It may be noted, moreover, as distinctive of the two roots, tŗi and ru, that while from the former - to pass over frequently, to rub, to smootheen - the idea of 'young, fresh, a youth' (taruna), 'soft, delicate' (τερην), 'tender, soft, and childhood' (tener), were developed, the root ru, lu, gave birth to the idea of 'old age, weakness, crumpled, flexible, as an old garment'; lua, lua-u, τρυχος.

Lat., trua, trulla, a tray, ladle, basin; ruo , to tumble down, but whose primary sense must have been 'to dig', as evidenced in the phrase 'ruta et cæsa', and in rutrum, a spade, mattock. Quære, rus, country, from ruo, to dig, cultivate? Goth., riurs, mortal, corruptible. Scand., rye; Swed., rycka, pull up, pluck out. Anc. Slav., ryti, to dig; ruvati, to tear away. Irish, ruam, a spade; rumhar, a mine; rumahar, labour.

When the royal double-canoe sailed away from Maori the Full Moon had reached the Scimitar star. And the date April 14, which could be counted as 14 * 29½ + 1, was as an allusion to the place of birth, to the star Bharani (*41.4).

In the hat of the Mad Hatter (Mercury, Hiro) he had placed a Sign which probably indicated the 10th of June. April 17 (107) + 54 = 161 (June 10).

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the oak, which is the tree of endurance and triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed to extend as deep underground as its branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions this - which makes it emblematic of a god whose law runs both in Heaven and in the Underworld ... The month, which takes its name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on June 10th and ends of July 7th. 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 ...

And there was a t(ea)-cup

present also for the old oak (Jupiter), the great trunk of which we can see between Alice and the March Hare, i.e. we ought to count with 5 persons at the table. 161 (June 10) = 5 * 32 + 1:

... Ira, Raparenga, Uure, Nonoma, and Ringiringi got up and left the 'Dark abyss of Hau Maka' (i.e., Rano Kau), arrived at Hanga Te Pau, put the canoe into the water, and sailed off to Hiva, to Maori. Ira left on the twenty-fifth day of the month of October (Tangaroa Uri). When Ira's canoe reached the islets (off the southwestern coast), Makoi (who was staying behind) shouted the following (after him): Eight lands (are there), one has been found (or, an eighth land has been found for the first time, evaru kainga katahi i revaa), that is, Te Pito O Te Kainga. During the fast journey, one cannot find the seven lands in the midst of dim twilight. Once (Easter Island) has been lost, not even eight groups of people (i.e., countless boat crews) can find (it) again. - Ruhi to the right, Pu to the left, necklace around the neck of Hinariru at Papa O Rae!
