Legend of Kaiia and Moi.

60. Simply resting at Koamano. 60. 



There was no flowing at Kalauae. 



It was the breath arising at Kolokini, 



Falling over at the cliff of Makana 



Are the rivulets of Kapona, 

 65. The collar bone of Makuaiki. 65. 



Perhaps so, without falsehood to be set 

 aside. 



Hi wale iho la no i Koamano, 



Aohe nae puai o Kalauae, 



O ka hanu ia e mapu la i Kolokini, 



Hiolo iho la ma ka pali o Makana, 



Kau na penikala wai o Kajxjna, 



Kaia iwilei o Makuaiki e ! 



Ae paha, aohe wahahee e hookoe aku e ! 



Legend of Kana and Moi. 



Kaao no Kana'ame Moi. 



5- 



10. 



IS- 



Moi was the priest of Kapeepee, 



Here is the fault of this chief, 



He took the wife of Hoakalanileo, 



The father of Kana. 



Then Moi slept in spirit; 



He saw Niheu coming towards him 



With a wooden pike. 



And brandishing his mantle, but did not 



turn away. 

 Kana thereupon called to him from heaven, 

 Bidding him turn thither. 

 Thereafter that man thrust his hands 

 And turned his mantle the other side out, 

 Wherefore Moi dreaded this man 

 Lest he should push the mountain down. 

 Then Moi awoke with a shiver 

 And said unto the chief, chanting forth : 

 Heedest thou the prediction ?
