Note 2 — Traditional Hawaiian History.
Reading edition
Perhaps thirty years should be allowed for a generation, considering that, as a general practice, the successor to a chief and inheritor of the Kapu-moe was not always the first-born, but more frequently from a later alliance. In that case the seven generations will bring the time of Keliiokaloa’s middle-age or the birth of Kukailani at about 1526. Compare with the account by Galvaom, reported in Burney’s Discoveries in the South Seas. ↑
