Reading edition

This is also used to obtain the hamauleo261 fish of Ewa; the shell is broken off, leaving only the kernel; this is placed in the clothes, or else in the container where said fish would be placed when caught, or in any other thing. Proceed to where that fish is generally caught, chew some of this kukui kernel, and blow it on the sea; the sea would be smooth and oily, and that fish could be seen. So it is done when fishing for squid; like catching clams. It is also used for torches at night, when fishing for eels. These are the uses of the nut which I know about.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
