Palena of Maui

Palena (born ca. 1120, Mokae, Hana, Maui) is a name of a chief mentioned in the ancient Hawaiian legends, where it is said that he was a Moʻi - king of Maui in ancient Hawaii. It seems that he was a semi-mythical king.[2]:27

Biography

According to the chant, Palena was born ca. 1120 to King Haho and his wife Kauilaʻanapa.

Kauilaʻanapa is also called Kauilaianapu. It was common that chiefs had many names.[4]

Palena was married to his half-sister, Hikawai. Her father was called Limaloa-Lialea.

Palena either had one son called Hanalaʻa or twins named Hanalaʻa-nui and Hanalaʻa-iki.[5]

Notes

gollark: Is this some weird implementation thing or is Lua actually defined/specified to work like this?!
gollark: Apparently `function(...) return (fn(...)) end` behaves differently to `function(...) return fn(...) end`. WHAT IS HAPPENING.
gollark: It doesn't look like it, though, as the code really only does much if an error occurs.
gollark: So I remembered recently that potatOS embeds some sort of stack trace thing based on one in MBS, and it might actually somehow be *that* doing this.
gollark: I'm not sure about infinitely, but IIRC there's no per-computer limit.
