 See also kia 2. The two differ only as 

 differ the simple prepositions, i and ki, 

 locative and objective. They agree in 

 restriction to the names of persons and 

 personal pronouns. In my comprehen- 

 sion of the use of kia it becomes somewhat 

 clear that it is not a simple preposition but 

 a phrase locution (ki-a) of preposition and 

 demonstrative object abstractly stated 

 and then immediately particularized by 

 the name in apposition. This comports 

 with another idiom indicating that per- 

 sons are considered superior to parsing, 

 an idea which must, of course, be held by 

 such as have a proper respect of persons : 

 '0 ai lana igoa in Samoan, dhei na ya- 

 dhana in Viti, in each case "who is his 

 name?" instead of what. In this under- 

 standing of the phrase 'ia Malietoa sig- 

 nifies "to that one, viz., Malietoa."
