Note 3 — PREFACE. (continued 2)

A person who was called a diviner and a weather prophet meant the same office but with two separate branches of knowledge. If the office of diviner and that of weather prophet were so vested in one man, then that man possessed two branches of knowledge. If a man possessed but one branch of knowledge he could not see into that of another. The architect could not perform the art of healing. But if all the callings of the priesthood were vested in one man, then he was called a “puhiokaoka,”3 because all the callings of the priesthood were embodied in him.
