Huʻehuʻe

WahiLocation, Place Names of Hawaiʻi (1974),

Village and ranch, Puakō qd., Hawaiʻi. The last flow from Hualālai erupted in 1801 below the ranch at about 1,500 to 1,800 52feet elevation and flowed to the sea (Macdonald and Abbott 51-52). Hawaiians thought Pele started the flow because she wanted awa fish from Kīholo and Kaʻūpūlehu, aku fish from Kaʻelehuluhulu, and breadfruit from the uplands of Huʻehuʻe, and because she was jealous of Kamehameha's weatlh and honor. Kamehameha, on the advice of a Pele seer (kāula), offered sacrifices and the flow stopped. (RC 184-186; UL 124.) See ʻAkahipuʻu.

Literally, overflowing.
