Source: Kamehameha IHS - This pro-creation chant or mele ma`i, set to music, honors Kahô`anokû, son of Kamehameha I and his wife Peleuli. The custom of composing a mele ma`i to honor the private parts of a child of high station, also gave hope for the continuity of families. Eel is the male organ. |
