Perhaps he was born in Hilina[mā]; his speech is<br />
confused. A play on hili (confused). Hilinamā is the<br />
month of winds.<br />
Hilinamā’s guiding star is called Wehewehe. This<br />
lunar month was also called Māhoehope. Women<br />
and children would harvest ‘uala, search out for<br />
wild fruit and tubers and store everything with the<br />
food that had been curing in preparation of winter.<br />
Pua ke kō, kū mai ka he‘e. As the sugarcane<br />
plumes begin to sheathe, he‘e are seen in abundance<br />
near the shorelines. Men are fishing in the<br />
deep sea.<br />
