Note 1 — XVII LOHIAU
Reading edition
Hiiaka asked about the death of Lohiau, and one sister said, “His breath left him and the body became yellow.” Hiiaka said: “There was no real reason for death, but the two women dragons took his spirit and held it captive. I will try to bring him back. Great is the magic power and strength of the two dragons and I am not a man, and may not win the victory. I will have something to eat, and then will go. You must establish a tabu for twenty days, and there must be quiet. No one can go to the mountains, nor into the sea. You must have a house made of ti1 leaves for the dead body and make it very tight on all sides.”
