lu melemele o ka Oo, e like me ka alelo a ke akua i ka Makaula, ma
ka hihio iluna o Kauwiki.

Ia Aiwohikupua e nana ana i ka hale o ke Alii wahine o Paliuli, he mea e
ke kahaha a me ka hilahila, ia manawa ka hoomaka ana o ko Aiwohikupua
kanalua ana.

A no ke kanalua i loaa ia Aiwohikupua, olelo aku oia i kona kokoolua,
"Auhea oe, ua hele mai nei kaua me ka manao ikaika no kuu wahine, kuhi
iho nei wau, he wahine a lohe mai i ke ao, aole ka! i ike aku nei ka
hana i ka hale o ke Alii Wahine, aole no ona lua, nolaila, ano e hoi
kaua me ka launa ole."

I mai la kona Kuhina, "He mea kupanaha, a hiki ka hoi kaua i ka hale o
ko wahine, ka kaua mea i au mai nei i keia mau kai ewalua, eia ka hoi he
koi kau e hoi; e hele no kaua a launa, aia mai ilaila ka nele a me ka
loaa; no ka mea, ina no paha ia e hoole mai, hoomano aku no, ua akaka no
he waa naha i kooka ko kaua, ko ke kane."

"Auhea oe?" Wahi a Aiwohikupua, "Aole e hiki ia kaua ke hele e halawai
me ke Alii wahine, a aole no hoi e Ioaa; no ka mea, ke ike nei wau, ua
ano e loa ka hale. Ua lawe mai nei au i ko'u ahuula, i makana e haawi
aku ai i ke Alii wahine e Paliuli nei; aka, ke nana aku nei wau o ke
pili iho la ia o ka hale o ke Alii; no ka mea, ua ike no oe, o keia mea,
he ahuula aole ia e loaa i na mea e ae, i na Alii aimoku wale no e
loaa'i, nolaila, e hoi kaua." O ka hoi iho la no ia me ka launa ole.

MOKUNA VII

Ia Aiwohikupua ma i haalele ai ia Paliuli, hoi aku la laua a hiki i
Keaau, hoomakaukau na waa, a ma ia wanaao, kau maluna o na waa, a hoi i
Kauai.

Ma ia hoi ana, aole nae i hai aku o Aiwohikupua i kekahi kumu o ka hoi
ana, aia i ka hiki ana i Kauai, ma keia hoi ana, akahi no a ike kona
Kuhina i ke kumu.

Ma keia holo ana mai Keaau mai, a kau i Kamaee, ma Hilopaliku, a ma

maikai.
