— Dr MacFarlane's Note

"The moon belongs to two men at Erub, and is the shadow of two stones in their possession, one for the new moon and the other for the full moon.
One stone on one side of the island is round like the full moon, the other on the opposite side of Erub is crescentic, like the new moon"
