Note 9 — Chapter XXXI · HIIAKA VISITS PELE-ULA AT KOU—THE HULA KILU
Reading edition
Puna. There is a punning double entendre involved in the use of this word here. A puna-lua was one who shared with another the sexual favors of a third party. The implication is that Hiiaka and Wahine-oma’o stood thus towards Lohiau. See also note (a). ↑
