The people would return rejoicing that Holu had partaken of the sacrifice, for when that was finished [the god] would not sulk and render the oopus lean. The people next began the construction of a ha;7 these were small sticks similar to house battens, which were set close together, but without the covering of sugar-cane leaves; tied down with cords of i-e, which was the proper vine for cords. The ha was built along one side of the stream, walled in well by rocks; and any kind of wood was used. But it must be wood which was known to be durable. The posts and the sills were important timbers, more so than the battens [which may be of any kind of wood]; the side in the water was braced with wooden posts.
