The record — long form
Puuhonua is the refuge — the 'kapu breaker' that's the saved, the 'death' that's the avoided. The 'Great Wall' is the 965 — the 'L-shaped' that's the massive, the '10 feet' that's the high. The 'Hale o Keawe' is the bones — the '23 chiefs' that's the buried, the 'mana' that's the protected.
The 'defeated' is the warriors — the 'families' that's the safe, the 'return home' that's the assured. The 'Kamehameha' is the '19 — the 'abolished' that's the kapu, the 'NHP' that's the '61. Puuhonua is the best — the 'preserved' that's the dramatic, the '450 years' that's the established.
