Kama-devi—in Hindu “all-prolific cow.” Kama, god of love. Another name in the Carnatic was Mun-Moden or also simply Madan. Another of his names is Makara-Ketu, “the fish Ketu.” “Makara” means the horned shark, and is the name of the sign Capricorn which sometimes terminates in the tail of a fish. Mackery is the fish-god or Capricorn of the zodiac. In Hindu solar system Ketu is one of the nodes. In Persian it is Keet.
In Polynesian astronomy Matarii or Makalii corresponded in Tahiti to the Pleiades, and their rising or setting divided the year in two parts. In Hawaii the red star in the constellation Kao was called Makalii after Hawaiiloa’s navigator. Makalii also indicates Castor and Pollux, though elsewhere they are called Nana-mua and Nana-hope, and in Tahitian they are called Na Ainana, the twins. Makali, to bait a hook, angle for fish.
