Reading edition
4. If paiula187 is wanted, then some hili is obtained—that is the bark of the kukui. On returning from the mountain it is pounded and is left to soften. When the kapa has been prepared and is cut it is dyed in the hili. That kapa is called “paiula,” a kapa used a great deal by the chiefs in the olden times.
