This article examines the emergence of the modern Arabic literary writing of the Jews of Iraq and, after only a few decades, the start of its demise, in both Iraq and outside it, and then the switch to writing in Hebrew in Israel. The high point of such writing in Arabic was during the 1920s when Iraqi-Jews started to produce literary works that “were Arabic in essence and expression.” It was a secular literature, inspired by a cultural vision whose most eloquent dictum was “religion is for God, the fatherland is for everyone.” However, during recent decades the Arabic literature that 20-century Iraqi-Jews have produced has been totally relegated to the margins of Arabic culture. This development was due not only to political and national circumstances but also to the aesthetic and cultural norms of both Arabic-Muslim and Hebrew-Jewish cultural systems. The vision embedded in the aforementioned dictum was the product of a very limited period, a very confined space, and a very singular history. It lived to the age of a sturdy human being, by this rare combination of time, space and history, before disappearing and being forgotten, at least for the foreseeable future.

In Part I of this article (Melka and Schoch 2021), 1 we described an antique wooden artifact from Easter Island, known as the “ Lutz – Terasaki fragment”, that bears a single rongorongo glyph. Here we focus further on the “ Lutz – Terasaki fragment”, gleaning as much evidence as we can by resorting to a complex analysis. The ethno-linguistic, epigraphic, and xylological data point – thus far – toward the remains of an artifact of utilitarian and/or ritualistic scope. In order to exhaust every potentiality regarding the “ Lutz – Terasaki fragment” and the meaning of the glyph that it bears, we must consider similar contexts that may appear in the future if other artifacts are located bearing the same or a similar glyph. It is acknowledged that in the absence of new corroborating evidence, even the best - formed hypotheses concerning rongorongo glyphs and sequences may stretch too thin and, quite often, be summarily dismissed or simply ignored. Continuing investigation and rational conversation with scholars of Rapa Nui, we have found to our profit, are efficacious ways to respond to hypothetical settings. To suggest otherwise would be highly arguable or erroneous.
在这篇文章的第一部分(Melka and Schoch 2021)中，我们描述了一件来自复活节岛的古董木制工艺品，被称为“Lutz - Terasaki碎片”，上面有一个单一的rongorongo字形。在这里，我们进一步关注“鲁兹-寺崎碎片”，通过复杂的分析收集尽可能多的证据。到目前为止，民族语言学、碑文学和语文学数据点指向了实用主义和/或仪式范围内的人工制品的遗迹。为了穷尽关于“鲁兹-寺崎碎片”的每一种可能性，以及它所承载的象形文字的含义，我们必须考虑未来可能出现的类似背景，如果其他文物被定位为具有相同或类似的象形文字。人们承认，在缺乏新的确凿证据的情况下，即使是关于朗格朗格字形和序列的最完善的假设也可能过于单薄，而且往往被草率地驳回或简单地忽略。我们发现，与拉帕努伊岛的学者进行持续的调查和理性的对话是应对假设环境的有效方法，这对我们有益。相反的建议是非常有争议的或错误的。

According to numerous Polynesian myths, the Menehune were great builders, especially when it came to working with wood and stone. They were very skilled in processing stones which they transported over great distances. Myths recorded on the Hawaiian Islands attribute to them many heiau – shrines, lokoi‘a – ponds, roads and waterways. All these myths have an interesting common motif of the Menehune always finishing their work in just a single night. Thomas G. Thrum, in his article “Stories of the Menehunes. Hawaii the Original Home of the Brownies” also presents a message of the informant Moke Manu who mentioned that it was their rule that any work undertaken must be completed in one night. Otherwise, it would be left unfinished, as they did not labour twice on the same job; hence the origin of the saying: “He po hookahi, a ao ua pau”, in one night, and by dawn, it is finished. Another commonly found motif in these myths is the willingness of the Menehune to help people. This was mainly expressed through the Menehune
根据许多波利尼西亚神话，美内修人是伟大的建筑者，尤其是在使用木头和石头的时候。他们非常熟练地加工石头，然后长途运输。记载在夏威夷群岛上的神话把许多神灵——神龛、lokoi’a池塘、道路和水道——都归之于夏威夷群岛。所有这些神话都有一个有趣的共同主题，即墨涅修人总是在一个晚上完成他们的工作。托马斯·g·斯特伦在他的文章《米内修尼人的故事》中写道。“夏威夷，布朗尼的原始家园”也提出了告密者莫克·马努的信息，他提到他们的规定是，任何工作都必须在一个晚上完成。否则，它就会半途而废，因为他们不会在同一件工作上两次劳动;因此，“He po hookahi, a ao ua pau”这句话的由来，一夜之间，黎明时分，一切都结束了。这些神话中另一个常见的主题是Menehune人乐于助人。这主要是通过Menehune表达的
