Note 43 — PREFACE. (continued 5)
Reading edition
Kuloa, hoomanao, mohai; offering, generally applied to the first fruits of labor devoted to some good cause. In early days people set aside a part of their first products as a kuloa, or offering to the god. Its application here probably refers to the first treatment of the vines and hoeing of the hills, to win the favor of the gods. Kuloa, to plant. ↑
