Note 25 — PREFACE. (continued 7)
Reading edition
Olohu, name of a game, as also the stone with which it was played on Oahu and on Maui. On other islands the stone was termed ulu and the game was called maika. The point of the game was to roll the stone the greatest distance on a prepared course. Emerson, in his notes on this game in Malo’s Antiquities, suggests that the old time use of immature breadfruit, gave its name, ulu, to the stone designed for the special purpose. ↑
