The Maile sisters are famous in many of the myths of Hawai`i. They are known as hula deities. The sisters are Maile-pakaha, Maile-ha`i-wale, Maile-kaluhea, and Maile-lauli`i. The maile of Kipuka Ki on the slopes of Mauna Loa is of the lauli`i variety. The three-leafed vines are commonly seen climbing amongst the koa and `ohi`a trees. The translation of the print's name, E Ola Moekahilauli`i, is "Live, oh young small leafed maile before branches form!" Moekahi is the term used to describe the early stages of maile's growth, before it begins to branch out.

For several weeks in 2003, the `aweoweo gathered in great numbers. Throughout the state, large schools showed up, turning the ocean red at night. The young fish are called `alalaua. Pupu ke kai i ka `alaua. (The sea is congested with `alaua fish). To commemorate this occasion, we give this name meaning "light of early dawn."
