PliUoloi^ical and Miscellaneous Notes. 34_:; 



The mysterious syllable oni. which Manu taught upheld the universe, is shown by 

 Colebrooke to mean "water," which was worshiped by the Brahmins as the "immortal 

 fluid," "the mother of worlds," etc. The word recurs in the Egyptian Oiiipliis, a name 

 for Osiris. It is probably also to be found in the Polynesian-Hawaiian aniaiiia, equiva- 

 lent to amen as the end of a pra3'er, from anta, to ofifer to the gods; it also means a 

 sacrifice. 



STORY OF IIIIAKAIKAPOLIOPELE." 



Hopoe and Haena were two women playing hula in the water off Nanahuki, 

 in Puna. 



Keowahimakaakaua was a brother of Pele. 



In Puupahoehoe, in Kapaahu, in Puna, there is a nurci'ae or rent where Pele 

 slept.

 Point, Oahu. 



At Ilaena, Kauai, Pele caught Lohiau between Kahuakaiapaoa, his friend, and 

 Mapu, the music teacher, beating the drum which had disturbed her sleep. 



Pele took Lohiau for her husband and returned to Hawaii, promising to send 

 for him. Lohiau hung himself from chagrin at Pele's leaving him. 



Pele sent Hiiaka to bring Lohiau. Hiiaka started on her travel, quarreled with 

 and killed Panaewa, fell in with W'ahineomao and made her her friend, killed Makaee- 

 kiu oiif Waipio, and fell in with Mokulau or Moolau from Kohala.
