It is probable that there was only one high chief of this name, that he was the son of Umi, and was called Keawe the Great Keawe nui a Umi. David Malo was interested, as the natives know, in swelling the genealogy of the alii, and he wished to flatter both nobility and people by distinguishing Keawe nui, of the race of Umi, from another Keawe. There are two Keawe, as seven Maui, and nine Hina.
In the fourth, examples are to be given of its operation and of the results to which it leads. The fifth is to contain what Bacon had accomplished in natural philosophy without the aid of his own method, ex eodem intellectûs usu quem alii in inquirendo et inveniendo adhibere consueverunt.
Kahekili was a great alii. He might have been king had he lived. Who can tell? I was a young man, not yet married. You know, Kanaka Oolea, when Kahekili died, and you can tell me how old I was. He died when Governor Boki ran the Blonde Hotel here in Honolulu. You have heard?" "I was still on windward Hawaii," Pool answered. "But I have heard.
But among the servants of the alii, if there were any who had offended the priest or his partisans, nothing more was necessary to condemn to death such or such an attendant of even the highest chief.

Too weak from loss of blood to answer Malua's weeping inquiries, Harvey yet managed to smile at him, and indicate Roka by a wave of his hand. Then the Manhikian spoke.

Get thee each a rifle and follow him.
Tuque, Aretine, prior, qui cantas laude poetam, Karole, sic jubeo, sit tibi primus honos. Post alii subeant: Orator Poggius ille, Vegius altiloquus, Flavius Historicus.
Akai, half-brother to Governor Boki, as you will remember, was steersman of the canoe, and, therefore, in the stern, was nearest to the coffin and its dead that would not sink. He was wild with fear, and he thrust out with the point of his paddle to fend off the coffined alii that seemed bent to come on board. The point of the paddle struck the glass. The glass broke "
And he called upon all the gods of the under world, the middle world and the over world, to care for and cherish the dead alii about to be consigned to them, and to carry out the curses they were terrible curses he laid upon all living men and men to live after who might tamper with the bones of Kahekili to use them in sport of vermin-slaying.

Nevertheless, he was too old to dare the adventure alone, must be helped by some one who of necessity would come to know the secret, and I was that one. I was the highest alii, beside my father and mother, and they were no higher than I.
If he looked at a cocoa-nut tree it died, and if he glanced at a bread-fruit tree it also withered away. Aitu langi was the name of a village god in another place, and supposed to be incarnate in the owl. If, when going to fight, an owl flew before, it was a good sign; but if across the road or backwards they returned immediately. ALII TU, or The God who stands.
