NOTE.—The proper names belong to localities along the course of the Wai-oli stream.
Footnote 286:[ (return) ] Molokama (more often given as Na Molo-kama). The name applied to a succession of falls made by the stream far up in the mountains. The author has here used a versifier’s privilege, compressing this long word into somewhat less refractory shape.
Footnote 287:[ (return) ] Kupa-koili. A grove of mountain-apples, ohia ai, that stand on the bank of the stream not far from the public road.
