The first cane: the name of this cane is Laukona.35 There were two men, Piikea and Aulii. Piikea asked Aulii: “What is the name of this cane?” Aulii gave his name: “The name of this cane is Laukona; its leaf has long white stripes; that is why it is called Laukona.” Piikea disagreed with him on that name. He said its name was Pumaia. They quarreled a great deal over the name of this cane, and Aulii won.
