Note 22 — PREFACE. (continued 2)

Reading edition

When Aukelenuiaiku found that he was able to fly he was then in possession of all the powers held by his wife. After this the two lived on in peace and they never went out of sight of each other; they were indeed a loving couple. It also became apparent that Namakaokahai, his god-wife, was with child. Before its birth, however, Namakaokahai made known to her husband the name of the child: it was Kauwilanuimakehaikalani22 (the lightning which we see in a rain-storm). Aukelenuiaiku, however, wished to have the child called after the name of his god Lonoikoualii.
