Note 23 — PREFACE. (continued 3)

When Namakaokahai was ready to give everything she possessed to her husband, Aukelenuiaiku, she called her brothers, Kanemoe, Kaneapua, Leapua and Kahaumana. As they stood in her presence, she said to them: “You go up to my uncle and cousin, Kuwahailo and Makalii, and inform them that I have given unto my husband all my possessions. The things above, below, in the uplands, in the lowlands, the drift iron, the iron23 that stands in the earth, the whale’s tooth, the (ea) turtle shell, the things that grow in the land, and the cluster of stars. Also, tell my uncle and cousin that all these things are now in my husband’s possession; and I also want you to take my husband to them so that they may become acquainted with each other.” All these words of Namakaokahai were pleasing to them.
