The record — long form
Mookini is the '5th — the 'oldest' that's the claimed, the 'Mo'okini' that's the priest. The 'Pa'ao' is the '1370 — the 'Tahiti' that's the from, the 'human sacrifice' that's the introduced. The 'luakini' is the class — the 'highest' that's the temple, the 'Kamehameha birth' that's the nearby.
The '3,000 m²' is the size — the '4 meters' that's the walls, the 'no mortar' that's the built. The 'living temple' is the now — the 'solitude' that's the visit, the 'whales' that's the winter. Mookini is the first — the 'war heiau' that's the type, the 'many lizards' that's the name.
The file keeps Mookini: the 5th century temple, the Pa'ao rebuild, the luakini class, and the Kamehameha birthplace.
