Note 81 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)
Reading edition
While they were living there, a child was born to them, and it was called Awahua, a son. After him was born a daughter, and she was named Ae-a. These children were named after the father,81 not after the mother. While they lived there, the children grew big. The parents went to their cultivating, while the children went to the stream to dig ditches. While so digging, the sister’s ditch was broken prematurely, and she was carried along by the water without the brother’s knowledge. While the brother was digging away at his ditch he happened to glance around and the sister was nowhere in sight, so he started to hunt for her, thinking he could find her quickly. He saw her at Paliakoae, so he chased after her. When he arrived there she had got to Waiailio,82 and thus he followed after her until she was finally carried out into the ocean. At that time she threw her ivory necklace upon the beach at a place known as Waioaoaku, and it is so named unto this day. The brother was also carried right along, and when he came to this place he saw the necklace of his sister there, so he threw his loin-cloth, Puakai,83 and it landed by the ivory necklace of his sister. They were taken by the current until the sister was landed at Honuaula,84 Maui. The brother landed at Puuloa,85 [Oahu]. The brother married Halawa,86 while the sister married Kahimanini, who belonged here on Maui.
