Note 23 — PREFACE. (continued 6)

When the kilu and ume [games] are set aside and the kilu shed cleared, then the game of puhenehene23 is played. Here is an explanation of it: Ten men and ten women [are chosen], ten on one side and ten on the other; they must, however, be alternately men and women, until ten are chosen, and the same on the other side. They sit in two rows of ten each. One covering cloth is provided for ten, and the same for the other side. Then the eyes and bodies are covered with the cloth. In that time the one who held the stone hides it on the person of one of the ten. When the stone is concealed the faces are exposed above the covering, then the other side searches. This is continued until the game is won.
