Note 91 — A Wakea Creation Chant.
Reading edition
Lalau ke lani, Kamehameha lays hold; moa, literally, it is cooked, it is done, finished. Caesar is represented as saying after a conquest, “veni, vidi, vici,” I came, I saw, I conquered; but the Hawaiian poet says of Kamehameha, the chief lays hold, moa, they [the enemy] are cooked, subdued. ↑
