After Kumu Honua was created and placed upon his land, Kane conferred with him and his wife and established laws for them, and the law was called “laau” (the tree). The words of Kane are not fully reported in the legend; but it was afterwards thought that the tree was the breadfruit-tree (ulu) and that it grew at Honokohau, in North Kona, Hawaii; that it sprung from Kane (ua mimi ia e Kane) and that its fruits have been bitter or sour from that day to this. And the wauke was given to Kumu Honua for clothing, and it was sacred to Kane and grew in Keaukaha, North Kona, Hawaii.
Kanaloa seduced Kumu Honua’s wife Polo-Haina (Ke Ola Kumu Honua) and she and her husband broke the laws of Kane. Kumu Honua was called Kane-Laa-uli after he had broken the laws of Kane, which means, according to Hawaiian kahunas (priests), “he akua ulia i ka laau,” (the spirit who fell or was destroyed on account of the tree).
Following are the names of Kumu Honua and his wife after they fell from grace: Pelo-Haena (w),[2] Ulia-Wale (k), Laa-ai (w), Laa-hei (k), Laa-make (w), Laa-uli (k), Kumu-Hana (w), Kumu Uli (k), Kanikau (w), Kani Kuo (k).
An “au-apaapa” comprises twelve generations. All who spring from any branch within these twelve are considered as relations. An “au-apaapa” extended over two to three centuries.
An “au poipu” consisted of twenty-four generations. Any one at this distance from the general ancestor, springing off from any branch, was not considered a relation. The marrying such distant branches was called “hoao-lopa.” An “au-poipu” extended over six or more centuries. [[269]]
Following are the generations from Kumu Honua to Nuu-Pule, i.e. from the creation of man to the flood.
Kumu Honua and Lalo Honua had three sons: 1. Kolo-i-ke-Ao, or Laka; 2. Kulu-ipo or Kolo-i-ka-Po; 3. Kaiki-ku-a-Kane.
