Note 1 — Chapter XXXI · HIIAKA VISITS PELE-ULA AT KOU—THE HULA KILU
Reading edition
Wa’a-hila is said to have been the name of a favorite hula of Pele-ula; so called after a princess who, with her brother Ka-manu-wai, excelled in the performance of this dance. Her name has been perpetuated in an old saying that has come down to us: Ka ua Wa’a-hila o Nu’uanu. This is a gentle rain that extends only as far down Nu’uanu valley as to Wyllie or Judd street. ↑
