papa hehi

Haw to Eng, Kent (1986),

Platter-shaped board on which the hula dancer placed his foot while standing on the other. The center of the board was held above the ground by a wooden rod placed under it. The dancer moved his foot as a treadle to rock the board, or papa hehi. While doing this the dancer also beat out the rhythm with a pair of sticks (kā laʻau) one held in each hand. (KILO.)
