Note 14 — II.—THE HALAU; THE KUAHU—THEIR DECORATION AND CONSECRATION
Reading edition
Footnote 14: (return) Áno-ái. An old form of salutation, answering in general to the more modern word aloha, much used at the present time. Ano-ai seems to have had a shade of meaning more nearly answering to our word “welcome.” This is the first instance the author has met with of its use in poetry.
