300 JOHN FRASER. 
3. Child of haste; ‘le tama fai lise’; child of the hasty one, ‘le tama ale 
fai lise.’ 
Associated with men &c.; ‘ua tautagata le ao ia te ia.’ 
Palace; ‘ fale‘ula,’ lit., ‘ bright-house.’ This name is also given toa 
big house in which the dancers and singers of the town meet and councils 
are held. 
4. Let that child at the east; the text here is—‘ A o lela tama i gagae ina 
igoa o ia ia Ati-i-lagi; ia atii lagii Tagaloa; e tauaitu i lona fale‘ula ia 
te ia (le ao).’ 
Associated with gods; ‘ tau-aitu.’ 
Tau-tagata, tau-aitu ; the meaning of these phrases is that men are as- 
sociated with 'Tui-Manua and that spirits are associated with Fiti-uta. 
Thus, the imperial dignity is associated exclusively with men through 
Tui-Manu‘a, but with gods, that is, the ‘ aitu’ or inferior gods, through the 
prayers (‘ati-i-lagi’) of Fiti-uta ; and Tui-Manu‘a has the divine preroga- 
tive of king among men, while the chief of Fiti-uta has the privilege of 
communication with spirits or gods. The one is the head of the tem- 
poral realm, the other of the spiritual; man is connected with heaven 
through Tui-Manu‘a; spirits are connected with earth through ‘Ati-i-lagi.’ 
5. Prayer and speeches; ‘ati.’ 
6. Le-Fanonga, ‘ Destruction’; war god, ‘aitu-tau.’ 
7. Be thou named; the text here is—“ Igoa ia oe ia Ati-i-lagi; ia tau- 
aitu ia te oe; atiilagiiloufale‘ula. Tauaitu ia Fiti-uta; ia nofo ma atii 
lou faleula.” 
8. Break your spears in two; the text here is—“ Ma oulua tao gaulua, a 
lua musu i tau, ufi la oulua tafa; lua tafa lea Avatele; aua le sopoia. A 
€ Ati-i-lagi sopoia atu ile Oneuli, ua saua oe ile au fuefue. <A é sopoia 
atu i Taputapu, ua saua foi oe i le au fue-fue.” 
Mr. Powell’s manuscript here adds this note :—‘ The following are the 
words taken down on Feb. 28, 1871, but the narrators by no means keep 
to the same form of expression; they express the meaning in various 
words. ‘‘Tagata taa aitu. Ati-i-lagi, i.e., ati i lagi lou faleula. Tau-aitu 
ile Fiti-uta nofo ma ati. A o lea tama e tautagata iao i Aualuma ma le 
Faletolu e ati ma tu. E te‘a lava oe ina tautagata le ao ia te oe o Tut- 
Manuva ma Samoa-toa; laulautu i lou fale‘ula. Ma oulua tao gaulua; a 
lua musu i tau, ufi la oulua tafa ; oulua tafa lea o Avatele, aua le sopoia. 
A € sopoia atu i Taputapu, ua saua foi oe i le au fuefue.” 
One-‘uli; ‘black sand,’ a place in the west side of the battle ground. 
Tapu-tapu; ‘very sacred’; a place on the east side.
