Here are the names149 of the Maui mats: pawehe,150 lauhala,151 makalii,152 pueo,153 launui,152 puukaio,154 makanui,152 hiialo,155 ne-ki,156 opuu,157 kumukolu,158 alolua,159 makoloa,160 kumulua,158 puahala.161 Those are the names given by Mauiites to mats. The Hawaii people have names somewhat similar to those of Maui, except in some cases they are different. These are the names: pawehe, lauhala, makalii, pueo, launui, ne-ki, makoloa. What I know about the Oahu mats, they are like those of Hawaii. Kauai’s mats are named like those of Maui. These names, however, must be added to the Maui list: aneenee,162 palaueka and pakea. Molokai’s list is like Maui’s. The same is true of Kahoolawe, it is like Maui’s. Lanai’s is also like Maui’s. Niihau’s is like Kauai’s.
