About the Tao surname

Tao people in Chiquitos province of America,the Holy Land ,may be related to original inhabitants
of O-Ta-Heitee ,now called Tahiti,in Polynesia .
The latter were known as Manahune,and also as Tangata-Riki,meaning Little People ,
just as Chiquito does in Spanish .
Their original name of this meaning might have thus been translated to the altter after the "conquest" of
the Holy Land by Castilians and allies .

Manahunes may be descended from A-Hawa-Man-Ne ,one of the five sons of A-Zhe-Reg-Ha ,
generic ancestor of Zhe peoples ,spn of Wa-Hayat-Daha .
Gaya'awa in the Byblical language means a people,so Zhe may be called also Gaya'awa-A-Reg ,
,the people of Arg(os) .
The name of Georgia in the Caucas may be explained so .

In the Southern part of the country ,the former Ibéria ,existed the Tao-Klarjeti kingdom ,in the territory
inhabited by Meskh and Javah peoples,among others .
Tao Manahunes ,that is Zhes in exile might have taken part in its foundation,as well as members of Javahe
tribe of Carajas ,of long historical contact with Zhe peoples .
Klarj and Caraja ethnonyms may even share the origin : Kal-Aa-Radzhe and Kal-Radzhe-Aa .
Ibérians in the Caucas - and so might obviously those in Hispania be - were considered to be refugees
from Hierosolyma ,the capital of the Holy Land .
In the latter there were people from several tribes,among them from Zhe ones too,as it is written too.
Maybe Ta-O moved from there to Chiquitos and to Ibéria - or the other way around - ,probably together
with people of Cuiabá ,related to Kuyawi still in its surroundings .
