Note 19 — PREFACE.
Reading edition
The kekea, or Albino, in third line of section 5, is shown here to be keakea, semen, which, by the narration following, indicates it as an emanation from a person of sacredness, having special functions, whose every act partook of a sacred character, bearing out the idea which prevailed that certain ancient chiefs were of such high and sacred rank that their sanctity pervaded their premises, and applied also to all that they had, or did, or desired. ↑
