Traditional and Genealogical Notes.
Wahine-o-Lalohana, connected with Kaiakahinalii. Lalohana, a country “maloko o ke kai” (in the sea). Another story says that she lived at Mauna, a coral reef makai (seaward) of Keauhou, Kona, and that Lono was the mauka (inland) chief.
Another story says the woman lived at Waiakea, Hilo, and the chief was Konikonia. Konikonia’s people went out fishing on the coral reef and their hooks were broken off by the Wahine-o-Lalohana. Her kaikunane, Kuula, was below the water and sometimes lived with Konikonia. This Kuula told Konikonia’s people that there were other people, men and women, living under the water (“he kulanakauhale”), a village, and they had broken the hooks. Kuula, being interrogated by Konikonia as to whether he belonged to that people, said he did and that he had a sister there, whereupon Konikonia told him to fetch her to be his wife. Kuula informed Konikonia of the process how to catch his sister by making images of her husband, Kiimaluhaku, and letting them down in the water, when she would think that he had returned from Kukulu o Kahiki, whither he had gone on a journey. The ruse succeeded and she was led to follow the string of images from below to the canoe and thence to Konikonia’s house, where she fell asleep, and woke up in the afternoon, finding Konikonia with her. She then sent for her food from below. In bringing her coconut shell up the contents were spilled, proved to be the mahina (moon), and flew up to heaven.
Four days she stayed ashore when she wanted to see her parents. Being asked who they were, she said Kahinalii was her father and Hinakaalualumoana was her mother. Being further asked if they would come ashore after her, she said no, not bodily, but that the waters which were then rising had come to search for her, and they would overwhelm every inch of ground, and that her brothers were running ahead of the sea. Then Konikonia and she ran for the mountain and climbed up the tall trees and built a place to stay in. They stayed there ten days, during which time Kahinalii covered the whole earth with the sea and all the people perished; but when it had reached Konikonia’s place it subsided, and he and she and all his ohua (household) were saved, and they returned to terra firma. David Malo thinks it an imported tale though older by far than the arrival of the haole (foreigners) with Captain Cook.
Lihaula was the elder brother of Wakea. They fought and Lihaula was conquered. Afterward Wakea fought with Kaneiakumuhonua and was beaten and driven out of the land and took to the sea. Some say this took place on Hawaii and Wakea was pursued to Kaula when he fled over the sea. Others say they fought in Hikiku and Wakea fled over the sea. Komoawa was the kahuna (priest) of Wakea. Afterwards [[319]]Wakea fought Kaneiakumuhonua and beat him and retained the Aupuni (Government). Popokolonuha was Komoawa’s wife, and some say that Hoohokukalani was their daughter and not Wakea’s.—Wakea’s first son was Haloanaka, who died and grew up as taro. He (Wakea) afterwards begat Haloa.
