But in the tradition regarding Kahoolawe its origin is assured, it was born a foundling. Because Keaukanai was the man, he married with Walinuu, a woman from Holani, and Kahoolawe was the offspring of that union. And this is the way the mele runs in the fifth verse: “Keaukanai is the one who married, Married with Walinuu from Holani, The sacred semen [19] of Uluhina. Kahoolawe was born a foundling.” This is the strange thing in the tradition of Kahoolawe, it would seem Keaukanai belonged to Hawaii nei, and Walinuu came from Holani. In the traditions of Molokini it is said, it was from the loin cloth of Uluhina, a very high chief. He was a chief who cut the navel of new born babes. And this is the legend concerning Molokini: “When Walinuu gave birth to Kahoolawe Uluhina was called upon to come and cut the navel of the child Kahoolawe, and when he came and had cut the navel he took the placenta and girt it on as a loin cloth. He then threw it into the sea and Molokini arose formed from the afterbirth of Kahoolawe and the loin cloth of Uluhina,” the very name Molokini being a contraction of the words malo and Uluhina and should read this way in the song, verse 6: “Uluhina then was called upon, The navel of the little one was cut, The afterbirth of the child that was thrown Into the folds of the rolling surf; The froth of the heaving sea, Then was found the loin cloth for the child. Molokini the island Is the navel string, The island is a navel string.” In the tradition of Oahu, it is said Oahu was a very high chief, a prince of the blood, born of Ahukini-a-Laa and Laamea-laakona, and this is how it reads in verse 7: “Now stands forth Ahukini-a-Laa, A chief from the foreign land; From the gills [20] of the fish; From the overwhelming billows of Halehalekalani. Then was born Oahu, a wohi, A wohi through Ahukinialaa By Laamealaakona, the wife.” In the tradition of Kauai, it is said Oahu and Kauai had one mother and had different fathers. Because Ahukinialaa lived with Laamealaakona and Oahu was born a wohi, then Laakapu lived with Laamealaakona and Kauai was born and this is how the legend runs: When Laamealaakona first had the child-sickness when conceiving Kauai, she was in the sacred house in the enclosure of the heiau (temple) of Nonea, and on a day of the month of Makalii, the day in which the lightnings flashed around this heiau, that was the day Kauai was born, and this is the king who united with the royal line of Hawaii. And this is how the legend runs in the part concerning Kauai in the mele commencing with verse 8:
