Note 41 — PREFACE. (continued 4)

Hoaka.—That was the second day of the month, so named on account of the similarity of the moon that night with the arch of a door.41 In likeness to the curved lintel of a door so was the day named “Hoaka.” Those who planted their seeds on that day would find them yielding plentifully. The favors of this day were similar to those of Hilo.
