Note 12 — Chapter XXXIV · PELE’S BRIGADE IS SENT TO THE ATTACK OF LOHIAU
Reading edition
Unu kupukupu (also written, it is said, haunu kupukupu), a hummock or natural rock-pile, such as would be selected by fishermen, with the addition, perhaps, of a few stones, as an altar on which to lay their offering and before which to utter their prayers. Kupukupu indicates the efficacy of such an altar as a luck-bringer. ↑
