[Footnote 433: _Hana e o Kaua-hoa_ ... No one has been found who can give a satisfactory explanation of the logical connection existing between the passage here cited and the rest of the poem. It treats of an armed conflict between Kauahoa and his cousin Kawelo, a hero from Oahu, which took place on Kauai. Kauahoa was a retainer and soldier of Ai-kanaka, a king of Kauai. The period was in the reign of King Kakuhihewa, of Oahu. Kawelo invaded Kauai with an armed force and made a proposition to Kauahoa which involved treachery to Kauahoa’s liege-lord Ai-kanaka. Kauahoa’s answer to this proposition is given in verse 28; _Hu’e a kaua, moe i ke awakea!_—“Strike home, then sleep at midday!” The sleep at midday was the sleep of death.] [Footnote 434: _Kapae ke kaua o ka hoahanau!_ This was the reply of Kawelo, urging Kauahoa to set the demands of kinship above those of honor and loyalty to his liege-lord. In the battle that ensued Kauahoa came to his death. The story of Kawelo is full of romance.] [Footnote 435: _Kaio’e_. Said to be a choice and beautiful flower found on Kauai. It is not described by Hillebrand.] [Footnote 436: _Ka nioi o Paka’a-lana_. The doorsill of the temple, _heiau_, of Paka’a-lana was made of the exceedingly hard wood _nioi_. It was to this temple that Puapua-lenalena brought the conch Kiha-pú when he had stolen (recovered) it from god Kane.] [Footnote 437: _Qumukahi_. See note _c_ on p. 197.] [Footnote 438: _Awa kau-laau o Puna_. It is said that in Puna the birds sometimes planted the awa in the stumps or in the crotches of the trees, and this awa was of the finest quality.]
