Note 192 — CONTENTS. (continued 4)
Reading edition
The houses of Hawaii nei were made of the bark of trees, grass, leaves of trees and vines; such as pili,192 kalamalo,193 kukaelio,194 ti195 leaves and lauhala. The first thing which the house builder looks for is the place where the house shall stand. The proper places to stand on are nicely elevated spots, plains and favored valleys. Poorly selected grounds are those which are soft or full of holes; and that which was used for papa kahuia. The papa kahuia is the anaana ceremony of the priests in the olden times: those who prayed others to death.
