Note 15 — CONTENTS (continued 5)
Reading edition
After the army had disembarked from the canoes at Keaau, Aiohikupua with his chief adviser went up to Paliuli to see Laieikawai. When they arrived at Paliuli, they saw the sisters of Aiohikupua guarding Laieikawai. When the sisters saw their brother, they said to him: “Say, Aiohikupua, you must go back at once for a kapu has been placed over this place.” Aiohikupua would not listen to this order, but insisted on staying. Kahalaomapuana15 then said to him: “If you insist on remaining here you will be killed.” When Aiohikupua heard this he turned and went back, filled with bitter anger. When he reached Keaau he ordered ten men to go up and put his sisters to death.16
