Source: Keakaokalâ Kanahele - This mele inoa for Aikanaka, maternal grandfather of Queen Liliʻuokalani, was composed by Keaulumoku, a priest, and published in the Hawaiian Newspaper "Na Mele Aimoku", 1886. Kama, short for Kamalalawalu was a chief of Maui. Imu are earthern ovens and makiʻi lohilohi is the word for both the sacred cord and/or ritual. The chant refers to the rites of human sacrifice at heiau luakini. Translated by Mary Pukui.
