[Footnote 463: The words _Puwa-i’a na hoa makani_, which literally mean that the congress of winds, _na hoa makani_, have stirred up a commotion, even as a school of fish agitate the surface, of the ocean, _puwa-i’a_, refer to the scandal caused by Ka’i-ama’s conduct.] The singer restricts her blame to charging her youthful lover with an indiscreet exhibition of childish emotion. The mere display of emotion evinced by the shedding of tears was in itself a laudable action and in good form. This first reply of the woman to her youthful lover did not by any means exhaust her armament of retaliation. When she next treats of the affair it is with an added touch of sarcasm and yet with a sang-froid that proved it had not unsettled her nerves. _Mele_ Ula Kala’e-loa[464] i ka lepo a ka makani; Hoonu’anu’a na pua i Kalama-ula, He hoa i ka la’i a ka manu—[465] Manu ai ia i ka hoa laukona. 5 I keke lau-au’a ia e ka moe; E kuhi ana ia he kanaka e.

He flouts it as common, weeping it forth— 10 That is the way with a child-friend; A child just blubbers at nothing. [Footnote 464: _Kala’e-loa_. The full name of the place on Molokai now known as Kala’e.] [Footnote 465: _La’i a ka manu_. Some claim this to be a proper name, _La’i-a-ka-manu_, that of a place near Kala’e. However that may be the poet evidently uses the phrase here in its etymological sense.] To return to the description of the game, the player, having uttered his vaunt in true knightly fashion, with a dexterous whirl now sends his kilu spinning on its course. If his play is successful and the kilu strikes the target on the other [Page 240] side at which he aims, the audience, who have kept silence till now, break forth in applause, and his tally-keeper proclaims his success in boastful fashion:
