The name of the residence (maara

| The expressions Tonga,
Kona, Toa (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate
the quarter of an island or of the wind, between the
south and west, and Tokelau, Toerau,
Koolau (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate the opposite
directions from north to east - expressions universal
throughout Polynesia, and but little modified by
subsequent local circumstances - point strongly to a
former habitat in lands where the regular monsoons
prevailed. Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona',
contracted from 'To-anga' or 'Ko-ana',
signifies 'the setting', seil. of the sun. 'Toke-lau',
of which the other forms are merely dialectical
variations, signifies 'the cold, chilly sea'. Fornander. |

of the feather garlands (maro), which served to

... Long ago in the very beginning
of time there dwelt within a shell an infant god whose
name was Ta'aroa. He was Ta'aroa the
unique one, the ancestor of all gods, the creator of the
universe whose natures were myriad, whose backbone was
the ridgepole of the world, whose ribs were its
supporters. The shell was called Rumia, Upset.
Becoming aware at last of his own
existence and oppressed by a yearning loneliness
Ta'aroa broke open his shell and, looking out,
beheld the black limitless expanse of empty space.
Hopefully, he shouted, but no voice answered him. He was
alone in the vast cosmos. Within the broken Rumia
he grew a new shell to shut out the primeval void

Churchill. KUPA, v. Haw., to dig out,

well, a pit.; kûpa-kara, a well-digger; kub-ja,
humpbacked, crooked; kumbha, a pot, jar. Benfey
(Sanskr. Dict.) refers the two latter to a lost verb
kubh, with an original signification of 'to be
crooked'. He offers no etymon, however, for kûpa,
well, pit. The Polynesians reconcile the two. The
Sanskrit kûpa finds its kindred in the Hawaiian
and Tahitian kupa, and the Sanskrit kumbha,
ku-ja, and kubh, with a primary sense of
'crooked', refer themselves to the Fijian cuva,
'to stoop, low down', a sense now lost within the
Polynesian dialects proper. Pers., kuftan,
kaftan, to dig, cleave; kuft, kâf,

structure, mainly in the Lake Titicaca basin area,
called chullpa and Easter Island's tupa,
both apparently built as 'adoratorios', in which
mummies, skeletons, and skulls were displayed and

Polynesian revaluation of chullpa. Schumacher. |

kapa. In Nuclear Polynesia kapa does not pass
into the wing sense except through the aid of a
composition member kau. In Samoan 'au we
find this to mean a stalk, a handle; in reference to the
body its sense as that of some projecting member is
exhibited in 'aualuma (the 'au in front)
as a very delicate euphemism for the penis. So
'apa'au would mean literally the projecting member
that flaps. Churchill 2. |
