Note 350 — A Wakea Creation Chant.

I lou mai ai, lou to pull with the fingers, a game in ancient times; me he moa la, moa a plant that grows in the mountains with crooked roots very strong. Two parties take hold of the roots and stake, he wins whose end or root does not break, something as persons play with the wish-bone of a fowl. He mea e keia, he alii, the poet says, this is another thing, it is a chief you have to deal with. ↑
