E ala, ua ao, ua malamalama; 15 Ke o a’e la ke kukuna o ka La i lea ili o ke kai; Ke hahai a’e la, e like me Kumukahi [359] E hoaikane ana me Makanoni; Ka papa o Apua, ua lohi i ka La. E ala oe! 20 E ala, ua ao, ua malamalama; Ke kau aku la ka La i Kawaihoa: Ke kolii aku la ka La i ka ili o ke kai; Ke anai mai la ka iwa auai-maka o Lei-no-ai, I ka lima o Maka-iki-olea, 25 I ka poli wale o Lehua la. E ala oe! [Footnote 352: Hawaiians conceived of the dome of heaven as a solid structure supported by walls that rested on the earth’s plain. Different names were given to different sections of the wall. _Kahiki-ku_ and _Kahiki-moe_ were names applied to certain of these sections. It would, however, be too much, to expect any Hawaiian, however intelligent and well versed in old lore, to indicate the location of these regions.] [Footnote 353: The words _apapa nu’u_ and _apapa lani_, which convey to the mind of the author the picture of a series of terraced plains or steppes—no doubt the original meaning—here mean a family or order of gods, not of the highest rank, at or near the head of which stood Pele. Apropos of this subject the following lines have been quoted: Hanau ke apapa nu’u: Hanau ke apapa lani; Hanau Pele, ka hihi’o na lani. [Translation.] Begotten were the gods of graded rank; Begotten were the gods of heavenly rank; Begotten was Pele, quintessence of heaven. This same expression was sometimes used to mean an order of chiefs, _alii. Apapa lani_ was also used to mean the highest order of gods, _Ku, Kane, Kanaloa, Lono_. The kings also were gods, for which reason this expression at times applied to the alii of highest rank, those, for instance, who inherited the rank of _niau-pi’o_ or of _wohi._] [Footnote 354: _Lani_. Originally the heavens, came to mean king, chief, _alii_.] [Footnote 355: There is a difference of opinion as to the meaning of _Kape’a ma_. After hearing diverse opinions the author concludes that it refers to the rays of the sun that precede its rising—a Greek idea.] [Footnote 356: _Unulau_. A name for the trade-wind which, owing to the conformation of the land, often sweeps down with great force through the deep valleys that seam the mountains of west Maui between Lahaina and Maalaea bay; such a wind squall was called a _mumuku_.]
