Kitekihaamoa. Rock on Eua island (T). A great rock "like an axe" said former- 

 ly to liave stood in Eua. The name means "visible to Samoa." The Samoana 

 wore displeased at the visibility of this rock from Samoa. They therefore 

 came and burnt it, and it fell down in strata from which it was easy for the 

 people to secure pieces from which to make axes. Previous to this stone axes 

 had not been made in Eua. The base of this rock is said to be visible on the 

 weather shore. The Tongan name for the rock, which is hard, is toamakahunu. 

 It is described as similar to rock from Tofua and Kao, two volcanic islands, 

 and is said to be of various colors: black, white, yellow, and red.
