as emblem of United States government, Bald-headed eagle is depicted clutching arrows

bees' wax & birds' feathers were successive shrines (each in ruins) at Delphoi? [birds' feathers would be those of the dove, a natural prey to the eagle: as grasped by bald-headed eagle, olive-branch is a lure to catch doves, thence the alluring blue field]

[in the R.c Veda,] Soma is often likened to honey.

invaders were said to have conquered Palaestina by sending hornets ahead of them to rout out the inhabitants {cf. also hornets in the Popol Vuh}; winning at <ay "ruins"

p. 154 archer's "new song", even (p. 155) "as a lure to attract his prey." Mawari "played his musical bow" (p. 155) in (p. 149) "the oval House of Smoke." this is (p. 148) for "white tobacco smoke (blue field)."

the twin-brethren Dios-kouroi "hid inside a hollow tree ... But ... Idas ... hurled his spear at the tree", tranfixing Kastor (GM 74.g). Kastor is "beaver" (GM, vol. 2, p. 385), builder of dam impounding waters (much as doth the lupuna tree, within itself).

Gran Chaco (of Argentina)

[Toba] "extremely ugly" young man who was "always dirty": "the women ... wiped their noses on his hair." (MSA, p. 131)

The Erinues-goddesses (who were "serpent-haired" (GM 114.a) were dreaded by Meleagros (according to the Iliad).

[Matako] He died by spontaneous combustion (MSA, p. 133).

Meleagros died by spontaneous combustion (GM 80.i).

His death was the result of his having "poked just one ember" after having been warned not to (MSA, pp. 132-133)

Golden Verses of Puthagoras prohibit poking embers with a sword. (GV)

The embers were been kept by "the mistress of the Pleiades asleep beside it." (MSA, p. 132)

Meleagros fathered a child (GM 80.l) on Atalante, who picked up the golden apples taken (CDCM, s.v. "Atalante") from the Hesperides -- by Atlas, father (GM 39.d) of the Pleiades.

C^amakoko [of Paraguay]

Woman went to repair thatch in roof, which had been blown off; she thereupon had sexual intercourse with her own son. (MSA, p. 136)

At Yrih.o^, spies were hidden in thatch of roof by zonah "prostitute". (YHWS^< 2:6)

When all the other women in the world were killed, "one woman escaped in the shape of a deer." (MSA, p. 136)

Doe-deer escaped the world-wide deluge which drowned all the women; she became human wife of the only man (Manu) who escaped it. (MP)

The "escaped woman climbed a tree" which was unscalable to the men, who cover its trunk with their semen while endeavoring to rape her. They were endeavoring to rape her because she had spat on a man. (MSA, pp. 136-137)

Dinah "faith", a raped woman, hath her name translated Pistis in the Hypostasis of the Arkhones (HA = GB, p. 171; cf. GB, p. 430), where she is described as becoming a tree [the trunk of which thereupon is covered with the semen of her would-be rapists].

"they cut her body into small pieces, which fell in the sperm around the base of the tree." (MSA, p. 137) [Likewise, amongst the Munduruku`, "a tree-climbing contest was arranged between the men and the women." (MSA, p. 48) It is because the men won that contest that "all women ... who peek are raped by the men." (MSA, p. 45)]

Raped woman is cut into pieces by her husband. (S^PT.YM 19:5-29) This is said to have occurred after the by-passing (S^PT.YM 19:10-11) of Ybus = Yrus^alem. [If the name Yrus^alem is to be divided as YRWS^-LM ("heirs-assembly" in <arabic), then here may be an allusion to Lmu^->el the husband of H.akmah "wisdom" (MS^LY 31:26), whose name is translated Sophia in the Hypostasis of the Arkhones (HA), where she is aequated with Pistis: perhaps intended is that she is a later incarnation of Dinah. A still earlier incarnation of her may have been as >abram's wife S`aray, who "laugheth" (MS^LY 31:25).]

From each piece of a woman originated a woman. (MSA, p. 137)

In the account of re-incarnation in Z^uan Z^ou

each human body-part is separately re-incarnated as a distinct being.

fire & laughter by bird

p. 140 [Mataco] Fire-god produced fire from his body (anus),

[Maori] Maui obtained fire from body (nails, of goddess) (F);

causing Ovenbird to laugh.

a bird (tata-hore, the whitehead) laughed at Maui (P)

p. 131 The rufous Ovenbird originated from the ashes of the ogress Tse`hmataki, the "mother of birds",

when he Maui was entering the goddess of the underworld, Hine-nui-te-Po (H).

who (p. 130) was "causing earthquakes".

[Norse] In the underworld, the wife of Loki induced earthquakes.
