| Comments: | Place mentioned by historian Moses Manu in a portion of the legend of Laukaieie published Nov. 16, 1894 in Nupepa Ka Oiaio: "A he nui a lehulehu wale na mana wai liilii ma keia aina o Kaupo, a mai loko mai o ke kumu o keia wai, ka wai e hu ala ma ka Paala ma ke kahakai o Punahoa, a ua huli hou aku la ke kamaeu no loko o ke kai a hiki ma ka lae o Kumukapele ma Hopilo." (There are many small streams in this area of Kaupo [Waikaia, in Manawainui Valley], and this is the source of the water that emerges at Paala at the shore of Punahoa. The hero [Makanikeoe] looked again in the sea until he arrived at the cape of Kumukapele at Hopilo.) Location identified on Hawaii Government Survey Map No. 954. Likely the same place referred to as "Hoopilo" in an article in Ko Hawaii Pae Aina in June 1889: 'Ka palekai o Hoopilo, ka aina nona keia kanaenae "Ka ua Peepapohaku."' (The breakwater of Hoopilo, in the land of this saying, "the rain that makes one hide behind rock walls). |
