TRANSLATION 1 come from the land of Puna — A partner I in a triple love.
Ah, look ! his fingers are passion-clutched ! Like fronds of the palm, they shall wilt.
(e) Papa lohi o Mau-kele, glistening lava plates of Mau-kele. Mau-kele was a land in Puna. The implication is that these women, Pele-ula, Wal- kiki and the rest of them are plotting to steal away the affections of Lohiau.
(f) Ha'a ho'i ka papa, the lava plates rock: that is the plot is a shaky- fabrication and will. . . .
(g) Kahuli, to
...pple over.
(h) Puna. There is a punning double entendre involved in the use of this word here. A puna-lua was one who shared with another the sexual favors of a third party. The implication is that Hiiaka and VVahine-oma'o stood thus towards Lohiau. See also note (a).
{%) Lau o ka lima, leaves of the hand. The spasmodic working (ha'a) of the fingers was deemed to be a sign of lustful passion. It is here attrib- uted to Lohiau.
(}) Loha, to droop, to be fooled ; here to be understood in the latter sense of Pele-ula.
