Note 108 — CONTENTS. (continued 3)

This is the way to build them: the wood for these parts is the ahakea;108 four rims and two rails. These are the names of the rims to be hewn from the wood: kiapuapu109 rim, hoonolunolu110 rim, oio111 rim and unu112 rim. These rims are hewn so as to conform to the rim of the canoe. These pieces are tied on to the canoe with the aha113 or sennit. When the canoe is finished then perform the ceremony known as lolo114 with a pig. Should it be performed without any interruption then it is a solid canoe, but should the ceremony be interrupted the canoe is not solid, or else trouble would come to the owner of the canoe. After this shape and tie on the outrigger—the ama and the iako115—the knees116 and the covering boards.
