(Greeting)<\/strong>
\nFull is the voice of the \u02bbalae
\nA voice of invitation in the calm
\nA chant of request to Ulup\u014d
\nThat true inspiration reaches Ulum\u0101wao<\/p>\n

The neke ferns await at the border
\nAt the entrance of the woman-water
\n(We) proceed with due care now!
\n(We) proceed with due care now!<\/p>\n

\nThe neki rushes part at the water
\nReveal the shimmering waters
\nRevealed along with your righteous intent<\/p>\n

Approach, enter, at [N\u0101 P\u014dhaku]
\nApproach, enter, here we are<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

NOTES:
\nOther famous places along Kawai Nui can be used in place of [N\u0101 P\u014dhaku] as appropriate, for example, Holomakani. There is quite a bit of kaona<\/i> (hidden meaning) and symbolism in this oli<\/i> that bears explanation:
\n\u2022 \u02bbalae<\/i>:<\/strong> the \u02bbalae<\/i> is an endangered endemic waterbird of Kawai Nui and in ancient times, the \u02bbalae<\/i> symbolized the voice of the chief whose opinion swayed the chiefly council.\u00a0 Some consider the voice of the \u02bbalae<\/i> an ill omen but as a kino lau <\/i>(forms taken by a supernatural body) of Hauwahine, the voice of the \u02bbalae<\/i> is an auspicious thing at Kawai Nui!
\n\u2022 m\u0101puna leo<\/i><\/strong>: literally translated, it means wafted voice of few words; an apt description of the voice of \u02bbalae<\/i>! But \u201cm\u0101puna<\/i>\u201d also alludes to the life-giving freshwater springs that arise in Kawai Nui.
\n\u2022 polo \u02bbai<\/i><\/strong>: literally means to summon, to invite. It is also a veiled allusion to the famous lepo \u02bbai ia<\/i> (edible dirt) of Kawai Nui, one of the \u02bbai kamaha\u02bbo<\/i> (surprising foods) of the land.
\n\u2022 Ulup\u014d<\/i><\/strong> and Ulumawao<\/i><\/strong> lie before and behind you as you chant at N\u0101 P\u014dhaku, and the play on ulu<\/i> (growth, inspiration) is quite obvious here.
\n\u2022 neke<\/i><\/strong>: an ambiguous reference to two plants of Kawai Nui: a fern, and also a bulrush of the same name. A variant of the name is \u201cneki<\/i>.”
\n\u2022 ni\u02bbo<\/i><\/strong>: doorway or sacred threshold, but also highest point, pinnacle, as the stone of N\u0101 P\u014dhaku are perched on high, overlooking the wetlands
\n\u2022 wahinewai<\/i><\/strong>: a veiled reference to Hauwahine, the mo\u02bbo-wahine<\/i> at Kawai Nui
\n\u2022 nihi ka hele<\/i><\/strong>: to proceed with careful observance of kapu<\/i>.\u00a0\u00a0 Proceeding with care is part of the protocol of respect.
\n\u2022 \u02bb\u0101napanapa<\/i><\/strong>:\u00a0 the \u02bb\u0101napanapa<\/i> (soap plant) is an indigenous plant that grows around N\u0101 P\u014dhaku but also describes the shimmering waters of Kawai Nui.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
