Uwēkahuna

iʻoa ｜ proper noun / Uwē-kahuna / Wahi ｜ Location, Place Names of Hawaiʻi (1974),

Volcano observatory, bluff, and cliff (PH 208, 221), Kīlauea qd., Hawaiʻi, and name of one of Kahawali's priests who challenged Pele after Kahawali's defeat in hōlua sledding (see Kahōlua-o-Kahawali). A house stood over a pit here; when curious persons entered, the priest pulled ropes making the floor collapse, and they fell to their deaths in the pit. Ka-miki, a hero, set the house on fire and the priest wept (uwē kahuna).
