Makoi got up and
began to familiarize
himself with the (new)
land. (This took place)
on the fifteenth day of
the month of June ('Maro').
He went toward the sheer
face of the rocks (titi
o te opata), was
astonished (aaa),
came up to the middle
(of the outer rim of the
crater), and stood at
the very edge.
He looked down and saw
the Pu Mahore
of Hau Maka
(on the coast) and said,
'There it is, the hole
of the mahore
fish of Hau Maka!'
He turned his face and
looked toward the back
(i.e., in the direction
of the crater). No
sooner had he seen how
the dark abyss opened up
(below him), when a
fragrant breeze came
drifting by. Again
Makoi said, 'This is
the dark abyss of Hau
Maka'.
He turned around, walked
on in utter amazement,
and arrived at the
house. He spoke to
Ira, 'Hey you, my
friends! How forgetful
we (truly) are. This
place is adequate (?
tau or 'beautiful'),
the dark abyss lies
there peacefully!'
Ira
replied, 'And what
should that remind us of
up here?' All arose and
climbed up. They went on
and arrived; they all
had a good look [Sa'd] (at the
inside of the crater).
They returned home and
sat down. Night fell,
and they went to sleep. |
The pregnant
fish rising in Ga3-4 could
have coincided with the
fish Mahore who was in
a hole (Pu)
to spawn. O-micron in Ursa Major
was on one side of the year and
omikron in Capricornus was on the
complementary side.

The
4
places
which
Makoi
saw
by
himself:
Possibly these
places were alluding to the change from Julian
spring equinox to Gregorian spring equinox:
...
When the Pope rearranged the day for spring
equinox from number 84 ('March 25) to number 80
(ºMarch 21) the earlier Julian structure was
buried, was covered up (puo). At the same
time the Pope deliberately avoided to correct
the flow of Julian calendar days for what he may
have regarded as 4 unneccesary leap days prior
to the Council of Nicaea. Thus his balance sheet
for days was in order. The day numbers counted
from the equinox were increased with 4 and this
was equal to allowing the 4 'unneccessary' leap
days to remain in place. But he had moved spring
equinox to a position which was 4 days too early
compared to the ancient model
...
These '4 unneccessary leap days' (prior to the
Council of Nicaea) were equal in number to the
precessional distance in time between the Pope
and the time of rongorongo. The Gregorian
calendar could therefore be easily understood by
the Easter Islanders. The Pope had created a
'crooked calendar' but since his time the
precession had fixed it

When
it
grew
light,
Makoi
arose
again.
He
went
off
to
further
explore
the
area.
He
went
along
and
came
to
the
'dark
rat'.
He
looked
around
and
said:
'Here
we
are
at
the
dark
rat
of
Hau
Maka'.
He
gave
it
the
name
Te
Kioe
Uri
A
Hau
Maka.
He
went
on
and
came
to
Te
Piringa
Aniva.
When
he
arrived
there,
he
looked
around
and
gave
the
name
Te
Piringa
Aniva.
He
went
on
and
came
to
Te
Pei,
looked
around,
and
said,
'Here
it
is!'
So
he
gave
the
name
Te
Pei
A
Hau
Maka.
He
went
on,
all
alone
he
went
on,
and
came
to
Te
Pou.
When
he
arrived
there,
he
looked
around
and
again
said,
'Here
it
is!'
and
gave
the
name
Te
Pou
A
Hau
Maka. |
|
For
some
reason
nothing
was
said
about
Te
Manavai,
which
in
the
journey
of
the
kuhane
came
between
Poko
Uri
and
Te
Kioe
Uri.
... The dream soul climbed up and reached the rim of the crater. As soon as the dream soul looked into the crater, she felt a gentle breeze coming toward her. She named the place 'Poko Uri A Hau Maka O Hiva'. The dream soul continued her search for a residence for King Matua. The dream soul of Hau Maka reached (the smaller crater) Manavai and named the place 'Te Manavai A Hau Maka O Hiva'. The dream soul went on and reached Te Kioe Uri. She named the place 'Te Kioe Uri A Hau Maka O Hiva' ...
...
Manavai
Hollow
where
rainwater
accumulates;
anciently,
small,
round
gardens,
preferably
situated
in
low
shady
spots,
where
the
mahute
tree
was

However,

E

to

He got up, the path went uphill, and he came (back) to the house. It was dark when he reached the house. When he came to the yam plantation of Kuukuu, he sat down. Night was falling. Ira asked Makoi the following question: 'How did you fare when you wandered, when you went searching, when you found yourself on the path of the dream soul of the father?' Makoi replied, 'There are indeed all those places. I did not forget them at all (? kai viri kai viri) when I saw them (text corrected, i-ui-nei). I alone saw no fewer than four of my [sic!] places, and I returned here only because night was falling.' The Ira spoke again: 'How did you name them, last-born?' Makoi replied, 'This is what happened, this is how I gave the names. I wrote (ta) Te Manavai A Hau Maka on the surface of a banana leaf (kaka), and this is how I left it.' This is how Makoi remembered it. No sooner had he said this, when Ira gew angry and quarrelled with Makoi. He said the following (to him): 'You did not pay attention, last-born, and you did not give the (full) name. This is how it should be: the Manavai of Hau Maka of Hiva, in memory (mo aringa ora) of the father, of his dream soul.' Makoi replied, 'In Hiva the land belongs to him - this land here is mine, not his!' They stayed (there longer). |
