8. a pig demigod... The pig demigod whose rootings created valleys and springs. He leaned against the cliffs at Kaliuwaʻa, Oahu (where a troughlike depression is still visible) to allow his family to climb up his body and escape Chief ʻOlopana₁. He had many affairs and is a symbol of lechery. He exchanged ribald taunts with Pele and then called on his plant forms — olomea, hala (pandanus), ʻuhaloa, ʻamaʻumaʻu (ferns) — to block her advancing fires, which they did (FS 228-229). He finally mated with Pele, taking for himself Hilo, Hāmākua, and Kohala, and allotting Kaʻū, Puna, and Kona to Pele. When he fought the dog Kūʻīlioloa he called on his kukui, ʻuhaloa, and ʻāmaʻumaʻu forms to hold the dog's mouth open; he then multiplied himself into many pigs and entered the mouth to kill the dog (FS 214-215). Other forms included a handsome man, kūkaepuaʻa grass, clouds, the humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa fish, and the god Lono. lit., hog man. see Makaliʻi₄; ʻOlopana₁. FS 196–249. see texts. |
