Ouroboros, ‘O-Ulu-Pō-le-Si’u, The Spine of the Dragon, Ka-Iwi-Kuamo’o Ke-Kua-o-Ka-Lani

Updated: May 24, 2019



For centuries, possibly millennia, native languages have been outlawed and suppressed in their own homelands—#Sioux, #Hawaiian, #Māori, #Basque, Old #Gaelic, #Pipil, #Berber, #Hebrew, #Salish, #Meskwaki, #Nāhuatl, and so on... I accuse the lawmakers and sovereignties of the world of attempting to erase historical evidence that yellow, red, brown, and black once belonged to a federation of peoples that encircled the entire world and were united by a single chiefly language:


Clues—

1. Ouroboros(Greco-#Egyptian)

2. ‘O Ulu poʻo le siʻu (Sāmoan)

3. "Head or tail" (English)


“The word MO’O (#MOO) also refers to #GENEALOGY, which the ancients believed WOUND its way from ancestor to descendant LIKE a REPTILE.” (#Kupihea 113)


‘O Ulu Po’o le Si’u

O / ‘O - the Nominative singular particle

URo/ ULu* - ”head”

Bo / Po’o - “Head”, “crown”, “highest”

R / Le - “The”

oS / Si’u - “tail”


* - ULU is related to “head” through SULU, which variously means “illuminate”, “bright”, “light”, and more relevantly “to fall HEAD first”. Thus SULU is a contraction of SISI (one meaning is “to hang upside down”, “to invert”, “inverted”) and ULU. SISI+ULU = “inverted”+”head” = SULU = “to fall head first”, perhaps a reference to sunlight, starlight, moonlight from which rays, arrows, divine light, even divine semen (Sāmoan: SĪ) is thought to descend. By today’s standards, this has a tinge of pornography to it, however, by Bronze Age standards royal children are often described as “seed”, as in ”the seed of Israel“, “the seed of Cain”, “the seed of Abraham”, etc. familiar euphemisms for any adherents of the Abrahamic religions.


Celestial symbolism is oft tied to heads of state. This is where the convention of using stars for capital cities in cartography originates. There is also a sense of “fallen stars”, or “fallen angels” in this reading.


This, Ouroboros is possibly a symbol of a global circle of confederated maritime peoples—The Sea Peoples and their maritime headquarters was nestled in the #kapū Deep, usually near the equator or the ecliptic.


This is reminiscent of #Jǫrmungandr, #Miðgarðsormr, the World #Serpent written of in the #Eddas, the middle child of #Loki’s three children by the giantess #Angrboða.


Possible “round” derivatives:

Polis

Polo

Bolo

Boro

BOWL


Perhaps The Sea Peoples are the “Canoe Clans” of the Hopi prophetic lore that join the battle against the adversary Snake.


The earliest appearance of the Ouroboros in writing is on the walls of King Tutankhamen’s tomb.


King Tut?

TUTU!


Wake up, all my relatives.

moe ai! ala mai! tulaʻi! lotogatasi!
