Malamakī

/ Malama-kī / Wahi ｜ Location, Place Names of Hawaiʻi (1974),

Forest area, Kalapana qd., Hawaiʻi. Literally, bright ti plant. (It is said that the game hoʻolele kī was played here. A ti leaf was held in the hand while the player chanted ʻO kēlā kī, ʻo keia kī, na Kamohoaliʻi kaʻu kī, lele! that ti, this ti, my ti is for Kamohoaliʻi, fly! Then the leaf was hurled, and if the chant had been said correctly and the wind was right, it returned to the sender. This game was played only here. Kamohoaliʻi, a celebrated shark deity, was Pele's older and favorite brother.)
