Is it appropriate to refer to Kalanikupule as a king? Wasn't Kahekili the king of Maui? KarlM 00:57, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

"A Malana army...(Kipuʻokinaupuʻu)..." Until somebody can explain what this means, I deleted it. I can't find any meaning that makes sense in the Hawaiian dictionary, and it's not in the hawaiianhistory.org article that the paragraph is mostly copied from. So if it is something that's worth keeping in, there should be some explanation in the article. KarlM 07:59, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

I removed the bows and arrows comment about this battle. If I'm wrong I would be surprised, as I have never heard of the use of bows in this or any other Hawaiian battles. I also lengthened the time line to fit with contemporary accounts. -Warmog
