In Hawaii, Hawaiian place names are on everyone's tongue; nearly all house sites, streets, towns, and island sections have Hawaiian names. These names, numbering*'many tens of thousands, are pronounced today in a variety of ways. The traditional spelling is of only limited help to one who wants to know native pronunciation. For example, 'Alae (as in Wai-'alae) and 'Ala-'e (a place on the Kona coast of Hawaii) are both commonly written and pronounced as Alae—but one stands for a mudhen and the other a sweet smell. To indicate the approximate pronunciation used by elderly Hawaiians, only three modifications of the traditional spelling are necessary: an apostrophe (or reversed apostrophe) for the glottal stop, a macron over vowels that are long and stressed regardless of position, and a hyphen separating the constituent words and particles. (For further notes on Hawaiian pronunciation, see section 2 of the Analysis.) In addition to the pronunciations of 1,125 Hawaiian place names, the literal meanings of about 88 per cent of them are given, together with, when available, references to published accounts containing legendary associations or poetic tributes. The computations were made by the IBM 1401 computer. Not all the names can be translated or explained (such as the island name Moloka'i), and for some of the names several interpretations are possible. No claim is made that the explanation given for any name is the only one. For some names, especially of isolated and small sites (such as of ancient taro patches long ago bulldozed into residential subdivisions and freeways) the pronunciation may be known only to a few kama'aina of the locality. To a non-Hawaiian some names have surprising meanings; see, for example, 'Elelu, Ka-lahui-pua'a, Ka-ule-kola, Kohe-Iepelepe, Pepeiao-lepo. The main purpose of this study, then, is to record in a single list what has been discovered thus far about the pronunciations and meanings of the more important place names, before the deaths of informants and the destruction of sites render recovery of that information impossible. The entries selected for inclusion are of commonly used names, and represent but a small portion of the totality, for the Hawaiians of old were a people who focused much of their thinking on the nature that surrounded them, and an important way to do this was to name and thus cherish even the tiniest spots. vii

PREFACE

Following the Hawaiian place names is a list of sites with English names that formerly had Hawaiian names. These are indeed few in number. For the serious student, an analysis of the sources consulted and of the structure and semantics of the Hawaiian names is provided, together with comments as to the occurrence of Hawaiian place names elsewhere in Polynesia. Many terms occur repeatedly in the names, including the following (listed in order of frequency; for the number of instances, see section 4 in the Analysis): pu'u (hill) wai (stream, fresh water) lani (sky, high chief) loa (long) hale (house) mea, 'ula (red) moku (islet, district) kai (sea, seaward) mauna (mountain)

pa (enclosure, fence) nui (big) iki (small) lua (pit, crater) ana (cave) la (sun, day) manu (bird) Kane (a god)

A reprint is included of the Supplement to the third edition of the HawaiianEnglish Dictionary for the convenience of holders of the first and second editions. However, students are referred to the third edition of the Dictionary for the many changes that have been incorporated into the body of that work. The supplement gives about 500 additional Hawaiian words and meanings as well as a listing of Hawaiian words that can be traced back to the ancestral Proto-Malayo-Polynesian language that may have been spoken several millenia ago. A composite Bibliography lists the important works consulted in the preparation of the Hawaiian-English. Dictionary, the English-Hawaiian Dictionary, and this study. MARY KAWENA P U K U I SAMUEL H .

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Appreciation is due a great many who assisted in the preparation of this study. David L. Dressel made the preliminary draft of the Ko'olau-poko (O'ahu) entries. Catherine C. Summers assembled the entries for her native island. Moloka'i. Lloyd J. Soehren, archaeologist with the B. P. Bishop Museum, listed and described important heiau. Gordon A. Macdonald, senior professor of geology at the University of Hawaii, listed mountains which he thought should be included. Bruce Biggs and George W. Grace, senior specialists at the Institute of Advanced Studies, East-West Center, University of Hawaii, and Albert J. Schiitz read the Analysis of the Place Names and made constructive suggestions. Edwin H. Bryan, Jr., of the Bishop Museum, loaned references. Robert A. Sparks, director of the Statistical and Computing Center of the University of Hawaii, programmed the entries for the IBM 1401 computer. The maps were drawn with great care by Robert A. Moore of the University of Hawaii. Thomas Nickerson, director of the University of Hawaii Press, made arrangements for publication. Robert W. Sparks, managing editor of the Press, edited the manuscript with scrupulous care and attended to the final production.

Alberta Pualanl Anthony was the principal proofreader. Jean Chariot, senior professor of art at the University of Hawaii, was the designer. Mahalo to everyone, with the reminder that we, not they, are responsible for defects. M. K. P. S. H. E . ARRANGEMENT OF THE PLACE NAMES In determination of alphabetical order, short vowels precede long vowels, and the glottal stop is ignored, except that a precedes 'a (Moa precedes Mo'a). Island names and Waikiki are written without macrons and glottal stops, except in the entries for these names and in the Analysis. In the lists of names the Hawaiian word heiau (temple site) is used without italics. Hawaii, Kauai, and Oahu place names are located by the districts listed on government maps. The boundaries of these districts are more precise than those of the unofficial "districts," whose names, however, are in common use. The official districts are shown on the maps on the end leaves.

AN ANALYSIS O P T H E PLACE NAMES

1. Selection of N a m e s Even a rough estimate of the number of place names in the Hawaiian Islands would be impossible; it might lie between a hundred thousand and a million. Hawaiians named taro patches, rocks and trees that represented deities and ancestors, sites of houses and heiau (places of worship), canoe landings, and the tiniest spots where miraculous or interesting events are believed to have taken place. In poetry, place names were a source of aesthetic pleasure for the affectionate ties they revealed to the land and to nature, as a display of the composer's knowledge and the chanter's memory, and most of all as a source of double meanings. The poetic uses of place names are discussed in section 6. In this study the IBM 1401 computer has recorded 1,125 names. Of the thousands of names in lists by Alexander, Bryan, Coulter (some four thousand, but only those on U.S. Geological Survey maps), Jones and Addleman, and Thrum, a selection has been made of those found on large maps, and most frequently mentioned in legonds, chants, songs, and historical records. This selec-

tion has been increased to include a few of the thousands of names collected from all the islands by Pukui during the past thirty years, together with the names of well-known heiau. Names of the Leeward Islands northwest of Kauai are also included. Not every occurrence of a name is listed in the descriptions. Certain favorite names occur repeatedly. Bryan lists Kukui four times on Hawai'i, and once on Kaua'i, Lana'i, Maui, and Moloka'i; it is also a Honolulu street. Ka-wela, Ke-alia, and Kolekole are listed on four islands each. Poha-kea is found twice on Hawai'i, Maui, and O'ahu. Mauna-p5haku occurs twice in Honolulu. The objects of this study are to indicate the traditional pronunciation of well-known names both as a guide and to prevent this knowledge from being lost forever, to analyze the names structurally, and to translate them when this is possible, with some indication of their legendary associations. It is believed that the coverage is large enough to impart some validity to the structural and semantic analyses, especially as various counts have been made by the computer.

2. Pronunciation On previously published lists of place names the phonemic status of the glottal stop and of stress-duration has not been recognized. In section 4 numerous examples are given of place names distinguished only by these features. The glottal stop (similar to the sound between the oh's of English oh-oh) is represented by a reversed apostrophe. A macron over a vowel indicates stress (accent) and length of the vowel (duration). The sounds of Hawaiian are described on page xxxi of the Dictionary. The phoneme w has two pronunciations. The tendency is for speakers from Ni'ihau and Kaua'i to favor a w-like variation, and speakers from the other islands to favor a lax t>, except that the latter may use the tc-like variant after u and o. as in

32 the uwehe hula step or in the exclamation auwi. The first of like vowels separated by a glottal stop is commonly dropped in fast speech. One hears, therefore, Ha-wa'i (on Kaua'i and Ni'ihau) and Ha-va'i (elsewhere). Both are standard. Short vowels before a pause are frequently voiceless or whispered. Hawaiian speakers may say Puna-lu' (but not Puna-lflw); the whispered final -u may be inaudible, but the sharp cutting off of sound that is the glottal stop is distinct. Some Hawaiian speakers in slow speech may pause slightly between parts of names (Ka-imu-kf. H&na-tima). More commonly, however, such names are pronounced as single words (Kai-muki, Han&u-ma). In the lists of place names (but not in this analysis) the names of the Hawaiian Islands, and also Waikiki, are written as commonly spelled (without glottal stops and macrons) except in the entries for these names. Nd, kU, and are written here with macrons, in contrast to the body of the Dictionary. Pronunciation, like other aspects of language, is ever changing. Most of the changes are probably due to the influence of English, particularly as manifested by the shortening of long vowels, change of stress, and omission of glottal stops. Na-'a-lehu and La-haina are pronounced today even by Hawaiians as Na'alehu and Lahaina. These changes are old. Others are new, as Makaha heard today as Makaba (the influence of California surfers?) and Poka'i as Pokai. Most people (other than Hawaiians) pronounce the names of the islands Kaua'i, Lana'i, Moloka'i, Ni'ihau, and O'ahu without glottal stops, but, curiously, Hawai'i with a glottal stop. The article ka has been dropped from some names, as Ka-puna-hou and Ka-papa-kolea. Some Hawaiian names are replaced entirely by English ones, as Barber's Point, Black Point, Diamond Head, Pacific Heights, Sandy Beach, South Point, Spreckelsville, Sunset Beach, Tantalus, Wilhelmina Rise, and^even exotic Yokohama Beach. The Hawaiian names for most of these and other places are given in an English-Hawaiian

section following the Hawaiian-English section. The most common variations from standard Hawaiian pronunciation may be summarized as follows, listed in the order of approximate frequency. (1) Omission of the glottal stop: Kaua'i, Lana'i, Moloka'i. (2) Shortening and unstressing of long vowels (marked with macrons here): Kar-la-kaua, Kuhio, Wai-kikt. (3) Replacing stressed a (the sound in English far) by the sound in English cat: Ko-pi'o-loni, Lani-kai. (4) Not distinguishing -e and -i and replacement of both with the y sound in English pay: Anuraue, Wai-'alae, Wat-'anae. (5) Omission of ft in syllables not receiving primary stress: Ka-meftamefta, Kane-'ofte. (6) Replacement of final -u'u (with or without whispered final -u) by the diphthong in English moon: Maka-pu'u, Puna-lu'u. (7) Shortening of long vowels (marked with macrons here) in next-to-the-last position: Hana, Waikflne. (8) Diphthongization of stressed o: Honolulu. (9) Puffs of breath after p- and k-: Kai-lua, pali. In general, the glottal stop and the A in unstressed syllables are omitted; vowels are weakened, diphthongized, and changed with loss of distinctions; stress is switched; and p- and kare overaspirated. All of these changes are frequently heard in the pronunciation of two common names: Kane-'ohe and Ka-pi'o-lani.

3. Structural Analysis The elements comprising place names may be classified as follows: Bases. These elements may be said alone, and they have lexical meanings. They may contain affixes (prefixes and suffixes). Affixes are never said alone and are closely bound to bases (other elements do not intervene). The most common affix in place names is Hana- (Kaua'i and Ni'ihau) or Hono- (other islands), meaning bay. Less common are ho'o- (causative/simulative) and -na (nominalizer). In sequences of bases, the first is the head base, and the others are qualifying bases.

Particles. These elements are never said alone, and usually have grammatical meanings. They are loosely bound to bases (other elements may intervene). The particles occurring most frequently in place names are those associated with bases used as nouns: the singular articles ka and ke (ke before bases beginning with a-, e-, 0-, and k-, and sometimes p- and '-, but usually not before bases beginning with 'a- or 'e-; ka elsewhere), the plural article nd, and the possessives a, "made or used b y , " and o, "owned b y " or "part o f " (see Dictionary, page xxl). I t is interesting to note the complete lack of the common particles marking bases used as verbs (e, ua, e—ana, ke—net), as well as of pronouns, demonstratives, or possessives other than a or o. Some bases are reduplicated ('Ele'ele, Kolekole, Luluku). I n this study, particles and bases are separated by hyphens, unless conventionally written as separate entities (Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa). Affixes plus bases are written as single items, except that Hono- followed by monosyllabic words (.ke, kS) is separated by a hyphen. Names of people and gods within place names are capitalized. Common sequences of bases and particles within Hawaiian place names, with the number of examples, are as follows: Single base (Hilo), 306 (27.3 per cent of the total). Prefix + single base (Hanauma, Honolulu, Ho'olehua), 37. Single base + suffix (Kahana), 4. Ka + base (Ka-pa'a), 52. Ke + base (Ke-alia), 10. Na + base (Na-pali), 10. Entries consisting of two words (successive bases, or particles plus base), 524 (46.7 per cent of the total). Entries consisting of three words, 2X7 (19.4 per cent of the total). Of these, 80 consist of ka -(- head base + qualifying base (Ka-wai-hae),

and 25 consist of ke 4- head base + qualifying base (Ke-awa-nui). The Hawaiian predilection for very long personal names does not extend to place names. Only 50 place names consist of four words (as defined above), 7 consist of five words, and 3 of six words, a total of 60 names (5.4 per cent of the total).

4. Semantic Analysis Certain factors (linguistic, orthographic, and cultural) complicate semantic analysis of Hawaiian place names. These factors will be briefly outlined. 1) Words with many meanings (homonyms), as the following common ones. hau: Hibiscustlliaceus (ffau-'ula), dew (Honoko-hau), strike (Hau-ko'i). kS: draw or pull (Ka-'awa-A-o), sugar cane (JCS-loa; but compare Koloa, duck). lua: two (Kai-Zua, Wai-Zua), pit or crater (Ka-Zua-ko'i, Ka-Zua-nui), fighting (Wai-ka-Zua). mS. a contraction of mo'o: water spirit (M5•ili'ili), section or district (M5-kapu). pU: spring (contraction of puna, PtZ-hau), mountain (contraction of pu'u, Ffi-o-waina), conch (Wai-ka-pfi), tree (Na-pu-mai'a). The common Hana- in place names is not related to hana (to make or do) or to Hana, Maui, which has a long S. Hana- as a prefix to place names may be translated " b a y . " On O'ahu and the islands other than Kaua'i and Ni'ihau the usual form is Hono-. On other Polynesian islands the word may be Haka- (Marquesas), Fa'a(Tahiti), Fanga- (Samoa), and Whanga- (New Zealand). 2) Words pronounced differently but conventionally spelled alike, as the following. 'alae (mudhen) and 'ala 'I (strangely fragrant): W a i - a l a e , 'Ala-'l, not to be confused with ala (road, path) as in Ala Moana, or with 'aid (rock) as in Ka-'aZa-wai. awa (milkfish), 'awa (kava), and a wH (of noise): Wahi-aroa, Ka-'awa-loa, Wahi-a-w3.

kapu (taboo) and ka pu (the conch): Mo-kapu, Wai-ka-ptt. 3) Words may be cut into parts in various ways. In the following names, cuts that form the best-known words do not mark the true segments. Honu-'apo, caught turtle (not *Honua-po, night land). (The asterisk indicates a reconstructed name.) Ka-pahulu, the worn-out soil (not *Kapa-hulu, feather tapa). Ka-'uikl, the glimmer (not *Ka'u-iki, my little one). Kumlmi, a crab (not *Ku-mimi, stand urinating). Pu'u-ko-holua, hill dragging hOlua sleds (not *Pu'u-koho-lua, hill double choice). 4) The antiquity of the culture. Many import a n t names are so ancient t h a t no interpretation a t all is possible. This includes the names of the inhabited Hawaiian Islands. Some persons have tried to explain Hawai'i as meaning "burning J a v a , " and Kaua'i as "food season." Fortunately these etymologies are not well established, but one that is apparently generally believed, and like the explanation of Kaua'i, refuted by the pronunciation, is the interpretation of O'ahu as "gathering place." Alexander in 1903 did not give any explanation for the name O'ahu; the legend t h a t it means "gathering place" must have been started by Thrum in 1921. He probably assumed t h a t the initial O was the subject marker Co), and t h a t 'ahu meant "to gather, collect." 'Ahu (with a glottal stop) means "garment," and ahu (without a glottal stop) means "heap, pile, collection [of objects]." If "gathering of people" were the correct translation of this word, the name would be 'O-ahu (pronounced 'owahu), the glottal stop preceding o and not a. Transpositions are common in Pacific languages, but none involving a glottal stop has been noted in Hawaiian. Glottal stops have persisted unchanged in hundreds of words for a millennium or so in Hawaiian, and much longer in the speech of, say, Easter Island.

I t is wise to realize t h a t all names cannot be translated, and to respect the ancients for having preserved names for centuries, even during hazardous canoe voyages over long stretches of the greatest of oceans. Historical explanations not in accord with the t r u t h are called false or folk etymologies. I t is hoped t h a t not too many examples are included in the present study. In spite of these hazards, translations have been made for 87.7 per cent of the names in the present list. A great number of bases occurring in the names can be listed in semantic categories. The numbers refer to instances noted, if more than five. Bases in categories 1 through 9 commonly but not always occur as head bases. 1) Geographical features and natural phenomena: a'a (roots), ahi (fire), 'aina (land), 'ala (volcanic rock), 'alaea (ocherous earth), 'ale (ripple), alia (salt pond), ana (cave, 10), anuenue (rainbow), au (current), awa (channel), awaawa (valley), ehu (dust), hau (dew, coolness), hekili (thunder), hdku (star), honua (land), 'ili'ili (pebble), kaha (land area, especially beach), kahawai (stream), kai (sea, seaward, 16), kehau (dew, breeze), la (sun, day, 10), la'au (tree, wood), lae (point, cape, 10), lani (sky, 29 [probably over half refer to "chief"]), lau (leaf), laupapa (reef flat), lehu (ashes), loko (lake, pond), lua (pit, crater, 10), mahina (moon), makani (wind), makiki (stone), malu (shade), mauna (mountain, 16), mo- (district, section), moana (open sea), moku (islet, district, section, 17), muliwai (river), noe (mist), 8 (sand, 6), olo (mountain), one (sand, 7), pa'akea (limestone), pahoehoe, pali (cliff, 6), palolo (clay), papa (flats), pS (night), pohaku (stone, 6), pu (spring), pua (flower, 6), puna (coral, spring), pu'u (hill, 71), uila (lightning), wai (fresh water of any kind, 34), wao (upland forest). Of these, pu'u and wai are the most common: the latter is in keeping with the cultural fondness for rain, the source of life, with its contrasting symbolic connotations (see E H , rain).

2) Flora: 'ahakea, 'Skdlea (fern), 'awa (kava), hala (pandanus), hau (hibiscus), hinahina. He, iholena (a banana), 'iliahi (sandalwood), kakalaioa, kalo (taro), kl (ti), kB (sugar cane), koa, ko'oko'olau, kou, kukui (candlenut, 6), lama, lehua (7), limu (seaweed), lipoa (a seaweed), mai'a (banana), maile, makou, rnilo (6), mokihana, naio (bastard sandalwood), niu (coconut, 6), noni (mulberry), 'ohe (bamboo), '5hi'a, 'dlena (turmeric), olona, pala'e (lace fern), papala, pia (arrowroot), pili (a grass), 'uala (sweet potato), 'ulu (breadfruit), wiliwili. 3) Fish and crustaceans: 'a'awa, 'ahi (tuna), Bhole, akule, 'anae (mullet), awa (milkfish), 'ea (turtle), honu (turtle), i'a (fish), kahala (amberjack), kohola (whale), kflkUau (grapsid crab), kUmimi (crab), lUlakea (shark), manini, manS (shark), moi (threadflsh), mokule'ia (amberfish), rwhu, nUnU (trumpet fish), 'Bhiki (sand crab), 'B'io (bonefish), 'dpae (shrimp), 'opihi (limpet), palaoa (whale), papa'i (crab), puhi (eel). 4) Birds: 'alae (mudhen), 'alala (crow), halulu, 'io (hawk), 'iv>a (frigate bird), koa'e (tropic bird), kBlea (plover), koloa (native duck), manu (bird, 10), moll (albatross), moa (chicken), nerii (goose), noio (tern), olokele (honey creeper), 'B'o (honey creeper), pueo (owl, 6), 'Ulili (tattler). 5) Other fauna: 'elelU (cockroach), enuhe (caterpillar), 'ilio (dog), 'iole (rat), makika (mosquito), pe'elua (caterpillar), pua'a (pig). 6) Anatomical terms: 'a'I (neck), ihu (nose), iwi (bone), iwilei (collarbone), kohe (vagina), koko (blood), kua (back), kuamo'o (backbone), kuli (knee), lolo (brains), maka (eye), niho (tooth), pepeiao (ear), poli (bosom,, po'o (head), pu'uwai (heart), ule (penis), waha (mouth), wSwae (foot). 7) Proper names of chiefs, gods, and demigods (see section 5): Kane (10), Lono, Ola, Pele, 'Umi. 8) Gods, demigods, chiefs, commoners: akua (god), ali'i (chief), 'aumakua (family god), hoa (companion), kahuna (expert, priest), kama (per-

son, child), kane (male, husband), kanaka (person), kaula (seer), koa (warrior), kua (god), lani (see under 1 above), luahine (old lady), mahoe (twin), makua (parent), mo'o, wahine (woman, wife). 9) Man-made objects, including game and sport artifacts: ahu (altar), 'ahu (garment, 6), 'ahu'ula (feather cloak), ala (path, 7), hale (house, 21), hBlua (sled), imu (oven), ipu (container, calabash), kShili (feather standard), kapa'au (.heiau part), kxhei (cape), klholo (hook), ki'i (image), kxpapa (stratum), ko'a (fish shrine), ko'i (adze), lei, lele (altar), liu (canoe hold), lou (hook), lupe (kite), maku'u (canoe endpiece), mala (garden), malo (loincloth), '8'5 (digging stick), pS (enclosure, fence, 14), pahe'e (dart), pahoa (dagger), pahu (drum, staff), papa'i (hut), pololQ (spear), pou (post), pu (conch), pu'a (whistle), pu'e (hill, as for potatoes), 'ulu (bowling stonej, unu (altar), wa'a (canoe). Bases in categories 10 through 14 commonly but not always occur as qualifying bases following a head base. 10) Size or shape: iki (small, 12), lahilahi (thin), li'i (little, 6), loa (long, 27), nvi (big, 14), poko (short). 11) Odors: 'ala (fragrant), honohono (badsmelling), maea (stench), maeaea (stench), pelekunu (musty), pilopilo (stinking). 12) Colors: 'ele (black), 'ele'ele (black), kea (white, 10), ke'oke'o (white), lena (yellow), mea (red, 18), ma'o (green), 'oma'o (green), 'ula (red, 18), uli (dark), uliuli (dark). 13) Numbers: 'alua (two), hiku (seven), iwa (nine), kahi (one, 7), kolu (three), lua (two, 9), walu (eight). 14) Locations: kai (seaward), hope (behind), luna (upper), uka (inland), waena (central). Some Hawaiian names are recent inventions, as Hana-hau'oli, Koko-kahi. Lani-kal, Maunalani, and Nana-i-ka-pono. Some of these may strike a Hawaiian ear as odd.

5. Legendary and Historical Associations Thousands of places are named for legendary happenings. The version given here may not be the only one. The sources consulted include Pukui's extensive flies gleaned on all the islands except Ni'ihau, Sterling and Summer's detailed compendium of historical and legendary references, Emerson's Pele and Hiiaka, Ii, Kamakau, Fornander, Westervelt, and Kuykendall (see Bibliography). Some of the gods, demigods, and semi-historical or historical chiefs frequently mentioned in the explanations are listed below. Hi'iaka. Pele's younger sister, who was sent from Hawai'i to Kaua'i to fetch Pele's sweetheart, Lohi'au. She traversed each island, vanquished many predatory water-dwelling supernaturals (mo'o) on the way, resuscitated Lohi'au (who had died of love), and brought him back to Hawai'i. There she found t h a t Pele, in jealousy, had destroyed her favorite lehua groves and her female companion. According to some versions, Lohi'au was burned to death and became the lover of neither Hi'iaka nor Pele. He seems aptly named Lohi'au (retarded). (The most complete reference is PH.) Ka-'ahu-pHhau. The very taboo shark demigoddess of Pearl Harbor, who, appearing alternately as a woman and as a shark, protected Pearl Harbor. She delegated her shark brother to drive other sharks away. Ka-'ahu-manu, 1768(?)-1832. Favorite wife of Ka-mehameha I, born at Hana, Maui. She was an instigator of the breaking of taboos in 1819, a famous surfer (Ii 133), a mainstay of the missionaries, and the first kuhina nui (premier) 1819— 1832.-L«., the bird [feather] cloak. (Rul. 310-311.) Ka-hahana. A chief of O'ahu who was defeated at Nu'u-anu, Honolulu, by Ka-hekili of Maui. Lit., the heat. (Kuy. 34, Eul. chapter 11.) Ka-hekili. A powerful ruler of Maui and Lana'i who defeated the invading Ka-lani-'opu'u (Ka-mehameha's uncle and a chief of Hawai'i) at Maui, and who later defeated Ka-hahana at

Nu'u-anu, Honolulu. He was cruel, and according to Alexander (History 123) the streams of Niu-hele-wai (Pa-lama, Honolulu) and Ho'aeae CEwa) were choked with corpses. A house was built of human bones a t Moana-lua. Ka-hahana was killed and sacrificed at Wai-kiki. Lit., the thunder. (Thunder signified deities and high chiefs). Kakuhihewa. Early O'ahu chief famous in song. Kama-pua'a. The pig demigod, symbol of lechery and erosion, who defeated 'Olopana (see Ka-liu-wa'a) on O'ahu, and fought a draw with Pele on Hawai'i. Lit., pig man. (For. Sel. 196-249, UL 228-232.) (See Ka-mo-'ili'ili, Keana-pua'a, Kohe-lepelepe, Pahoa, Pepeiao-lepo, Pu'u-o-kapolei.) Ka-mehameha I, 17587-1819. The chief from Kohala, Hawai'i, who conquered all the islands. Lit., the lonely one. Kanaloa. A companion of Kane, and apparently the least important of the four great gods. Kane. One of the four great deities, he was the god of life, water, and nature. Human sacrifices were not made to him. (UL 257-259.) Ka-welo. Kaua'i-born hero who went to Wai-kiki as a youth and then returned to his own island to save his parents and to defeat 'Ai-kanaka. Lit., the trait. (For. Sel. 32-113.) Ku. One of the four great deities, he was the god of man's activities, as canoe-making and war. He was worshipped with human sacrifices, and he appeared in many forms. Lohi'au. Pele's unsuccessful sweetheart. See Hi'iaka above. Lono. One of the four great deities, he was the god of peace, harvest, agriculture, and fertility. Captain Cook arrived at Hawai'i in 1778 during makahiki (harvest) festivals that were associated with Lono, and was thought to be the god himself.

Maui. The trickster demigod, son of Hina. Among his other adventures, he snared the sun at Hale-a-ka-la, Maui, so that his mother could dry her tapa. Menehune. Small people who did construction work at night. See Hui-lua, 'Ili'ili-o-poe, Ka-imuki, Ka-wai-hapai, Ka-wai-pu'olo, Kuapa, Pu'uo-mahuka, Ulu-po. mo'o. Supernaturals t h a t lived in water and could assume human form. Hi'iaka killed many of them during her travels. Lizards are also mo'o, but "lizard" is not a good translation for the supernatural beings. Emerson and Westervelt call them "dragons," but this has special connotations. Few physical details of the mo'o are given in the legends. Many were monsters. Pana-'ewa, a mo'o in the Hilo District, was turned into a coral reef opposite Papa'i. The tail of Moko-li'i, another mo'o, became the rock islet of t h a t name (also called Chinese Hat) off Kua-loa, O'ahu, and the body became the flat surface that is now a highway. 'Olopana. O'ahu chief and enemy of Kama-pua'a. Pele. Volcano goddess. See Hi'iaka and Kamapua'a above. ' Umi. Important Hawai'i chief believed to have lived about A.D. 1500 (For. Sel. 114-177.)

6. Poetic Use of Place Names The Hawaiian cult of genealogies is paralleled by the cult of place names. Both required feats of memory, both were links with the past, and both were connected with the inner man. The genealogies were expressions of respect for rank and divinity (these concepts were related), and the place names were expressions of man's closeness to the earth and love for home. Some songs seem to have been excuses for naming beloved places. Emerson (UL 60-61) gives a song with 31 lines containing 29 place names, and elsewhere (UL 203) within 14 lines there are 13 locations named. People referred to places t h a t were precious to them not by such unimaginative

phrases as Big Island, Garden Island, or Friendly Island, but by poetic epithets, such as "great Moloka'i, child of Hina" (Moloka'i nui a Hina), or "rainy land [with] low-lying sky" (Hana). Or they referred to the winds, rains, and seas associated with the place (Kona with its streaked seas, its whispering seas, and its peaceful cloud formations). In addition to their poetic associations, place names provided springboards for intellectual sprightliness. Who said t h a t puns were a lowly form of wit? Not a Hawaiian. If one was tired (luhi), he said he was going back to Tired Beach. It one was in love, he repeated a saying about Red-hot (Ha'ena). If one wished an invitation, he repeated a chant about Calling-Hill (Pu'ukahea). And if a man behaved absurdly, he was reminded of the place called Astray (Ka-lalau). (See also Ka-pa'a, Mamala.)

7. Names Found Elsewhere In Polynesia Fornander (Origins and Migrations) with complete confidence traced Hawaiian names to places spelled similarly in Indonesia ( J a v a , Celebes, Moluccas, Borneo, Timor, Sumatra), Philippines, Ceylon, India, and Arabia. Speculations of others have ranged still farther. Map-scanning such as this largely preceded the development of rigorous techniques of comparative linguistics. No serious studies have compared Hawaiian names with names found outside of Polynesia. Koskinen compared 379 Hawaiian names with names occurring elsewhere in Polynesia. Unlike Fornander, he compared ancestral forms of the names in the compared languages, not present-day forms. He concluded that the greatest number of Hawaiian place names are shared with New Zealand (Maori names), the Society Islands, Tupuai (south of Tahiti), and the Marquesas. A few well-known Hawaiian names t h a t occur repeatedly in Polynesia follow. Cognates for Hawai'i and 'Upolu occur as adjacent islands in Western Samoa (Savai'i and 'Upolu) and the Society Islands (Hawai'i and 'Uporu, ancient names for Ra'iatea

38 and Tahaa). The name Hawaiki is also known in New Zealand and the Northern Marquesas; 'Upolu is known as Kuporu in New Zealand. Other names with widespread distribution are: Ka'u, with cognates Ta'u in the Manu'a Group, American Samoa, and Takuu, in the Mortlock Islands east of Bougainville; Kahiki (as in Ke-ala-i-Kahiki) is cognate with Tahiti, in the Society Islands, and Tawhiti, in New Zealand. Cognates of the Hawaiian names for leeward and

windward (Kona and Koolau) occur in the island names Tonga, Barotonga, and Tokelau; in New Zealand as Tokerau. The prefixes Hana- (as in Hanalei) and Hono- (as in Honolulu) occur as Hana- in the Marquesas (Hanatetena), Rangoon Easter Island (Hangaroa), and Fanga- in Samoa (Fangamalo). Cognates of Wawau occur in the Marquesas and Tonga. Names such as these are ancient and date back perhaps two millenia.
