Question 1: The rules state that "...it is possible to place it (a headdress) on an untopped Moai on an Ahu...". Does that mean that one can only top an erected Moai (and not any Moai)?

Question 2: "At the end of their movement, players may mark their Moai or Headdress by placing a Tribe Marker from behind their screen...". Does that mean that one must end the movement of a Moai or Headdress on a hexagon occuppied by one of his figurines? In order to mark a Moai or Headdress without moving it (the second option of phase 4), one must have already a figurine on the same hexagon as the Moai or Headdress?

1. Yes. Nobody really "owns" a moai until it's placed on an Ahu, so...

2. I don't have the rules in front of me, but I don't think you have to have it end its movement in the same hex as one of your figurines.

You mark it with a Tribal Marker so that the start player next round doesn't just pick up your moai/headdress and run off with it.

In the example given in the rules the Moai ends its movement on a hexagon occupied by the blue player. If the Moai or Headdress doesn't have to end its movement on a hexagon of the player who wants to mark them, then one could mark any Moai or Headdress wherever it is (like the second option of phase 4). It is seems though that it works like that.

You can mark your Moai with a Tribe Marker no matter where it ends its movement. You can even mark it without moving it from the quarry hex (which rarely contains any tribesmen).
