Note 201 — A Lamentation for Kahahana.12
Reading edition
Akua pahulu, was the god who could carry people off in their sleep if they had eaten certain dried fish (amaama and weke). If a person in eating had his mouth smeared and should hear these words: “Oia hoi, oia hoi,” or “hohe, hoha”, and fall asleep, he would be sure to be carried away and laid in another place, without however being killed. ↑
