Note 46 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)
Reading edition
The twelfth cane: this is the Aweoweo46 cane. This cane was discovered during the battle between Kamehameha and Kiwalao at Mokuaweoweo. On account of the great number of people and the many who were dying they were hungry and thirsty; so when Pohina appeared with a bundle of cane Kiwalao inquired, “What is the name of that cane?” Pohina replied, “This cane is called the Ohia.” Kiwalao said, “You had better call that cane the Aweoweo.” That is the reason this name was given. This kind of cane is striped, somewhat like some of the canes mentioned above. These are the explanations concerning these canes which I have obtained.
