He by command of God first introduced circumcision to be practiced among all his descendants. He left his native home and moved a long way off until he reached a land called Honua i Lalo (the southern country); hence he got the name Lalo-Kona, and his wife was called Honua-Po-i-Lalo. He was the father of Ku Nawao by his slave-woman Ahu, and of Ka lani Menehune by his wife Mee Hiwa.

29. Aniani ka Lani. In his time this race had got far from the original homesteads. He is quoted by both Tahitian and Hawaiian legends as a progenitor (ku-puna) of their nations.
30. Hawaii Loa, or Ke Kowa i Hawaii. He was one of the four children of Aniani ka Lani. The other three were Ki, who settled in Tahiti, Kana Loa and Laa-Kapu. In his time this ocean was called Kai Holo-o-ka-Ia. It was so called by Hawaii Loa, and at that time there existed only the two islands of Hawaii and of Maui, discovered by him, the first of which was called after himself, and the second was named after his oldest son. The other islands of this group are said to have been hove up from the sea by volcanoes during and subsequent to the time of Hawaii Loa. These two large islands were then uninhabited. Hawaii Loa and his followers were the first inhabitants.
