Note 251 — CONTENTS. (continued 5)
Reading edition
The leaf of the ti is something that alleviates the trouble of man, in that it is used in the construction of houses to be occupied by man; such a house is called hale la-i251 (ti-leaf house). Just like a chief who built a ti-leaf house for himself at Puulaina and because of the fact that la-i was used, the hill was called Puula-i,252 as we heard heretofore. It is also used by some people for wearing [apparel] by braiding it, and, when done, wearing it.
