1.  “Plaited all around, plaited to the bottom, leaving an opening.  Answer:  A house, thatched all around and leaving a door.”

2.  “The men that stand, the men that lie down, the men that are folded.  Answer:  A house, the timbers that stand, the battens laid down, the grass and cords folded.”

6.  KAIPALAOA.

The boy skilled in the art of disputation, or hoopapa, lives in Waiakea, Hilo, Hawaii.  In the days of Pueonuiokona, king of Kauai, his father, Halepaki, has been killed in a riddling contest with Kalanialiiloa, the taboo chief of Kauai, whose house is almost surrounded by a fence of human bones from the victims he has defeated in this art.  Kaipalaoa’s mother teaches him all she knows, then his aunt, Kalenaihaleauau, wife of Kukuipahu, trains him until he is an expert.  He meets Kalanialiiloa, riddles against all his champions, and defeats them.  They are killed, cooked in the oven, and the flesh stripped from their bones.  Thus Kaipalaoa avenges his father’s death.

7.  MOIKEHA.

Olopana and his wife Luukia, during the flood at Waipio, are swept out to sea, and sail, or swim, to Tahiti, where Moikeha is king.  Olopana becomes chief counsellor, and Luukia becomes Moikeha’s mistress.  Mua, who also loves Luukia, sows discord by reporting to her that Moikeha is boasting in public of her favors.  She repulses Moikeha and he, out of grief, sails away to Hawaii.  The lashing used for water bottles and for the binding of canoes is called the pauoluukia ("skirt of Luukia”) because she thus bound herself against the chief’s approaches.

Moikeha touches at various points on the islands.  At Hilo, Hawaii, he leaves his younger brothers Kumukahi and Haehae; at Kohala, his priests Mookini and Kaluawilinae; at Maui, a follower, Honuaula; at Oahu his sisters Makapuu and Makaaoa.  With the rest—­his foster son Kamahualele, his paddlers Kapahi and Moanaikaiaiwe, Kipunuiaiakamau and his fellow, and two spies, Kaukaukamunolea and his fellow—­he reaches Wailua, Kauai, at the beach Kamakaiwa.  He has dark reddish hair and a commanding figure, and the king of Kauai’s two daughters fall in love with and marry him.  He becomes king of Kauai and by them has five sons, Umalehu, Kaialea, Kila, Kekaihawewe, Laukapalala.  How his bones are buried first in the cliff of Haena and later removed to Tahiti is told in the story of Kila.[1]

8.  KILA

Moikeha, wishing to send a messenger to fetch his oldest son from Tahiti, summons his five sons and tests them to know by a sign which boy to send.  The lot falls upon Kila, the youngest.  On his journey Kila encounters dangers and calls upon his supernatural relatives.  The monsters Keaumiki and Keauka draw him down to the coral beds, but Kakakauhanui saves him.  His rat aunt, Kanepohihi, befriends him, and when he goes to his uncle Makalii,[1] who
