Stones for the heiau were allegedly brought by Menehune, passing them hand-to-hand from Wailau Valley. Several legends concern the partial destruction of the heiau. In one (HM 134–135), the two sons of the kahuna, Kamalō, were killed for playing on temple drums in the heiau. Kamalō sought the aid of the shark god Kauhuhu, who caused a storm to destroy the heiau and wash all the people out to sea except Kamalō and his household. An old name for the heiau is ʻIliʻili-ʻOpoe. ʻOpoe is said to be the name of a stream tributary to Wailau, from whence the Menehune brought the stones (ʻiliʻili). They insisted on being paid with whole iʻa (seafood) rather than with portions and were therefore paid with shrimps (ʻōpae). Still another interpretation is ʻIliʻili-o-Pae (pebbles of [Chief] Pae).

ʻIolani [ʻIo-lani] placename. the royal palace (Hale Aliʻi) built for Kamehameha III in 1845 was given the name ʻIolani in 1863 upon the request of Kamehameha V that the palace be named Alexander for his brother, Kamehameha IV, who had died a week earlier. The Privy Council preferred one of Alexander's Hawaiian names, ʻIolani, and Kamehameha V agreed. (Kamehameha II was also named ʻIolani.) In 1879 the cornerstone for the present palace was laid on the site of the earlier building; some of the stones for the foundation were brought from Kūkiʻi heiau, Puna, Hawaiʻi. Kalākaua and Liliʻuokalani lived here. Queen Kapiʻolani probably planted the huge banyan tree on the grounds sometime after 1882. Liliʻuokalani was imprisoned here in 1895. lit.: royal hawk (the high flight of the hawk signified royalty).

After several more moves, the school occupied its present location in 1953.

ipu₁ n. the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria, also L. vulgaris), a wide-spreading vine, with large-angled or lobed leaves, white, night blooming flowers, and smooth green and mottled or white fruits varying widely in shape and size. The plant is a native of tropical Asia or Africa. Hawaiians have long used gourds as receptacles, small gourds with thin walls to hold water or food, or for rattles for dances (the ipu has a fine tone, halfway between that of niu and laʻamia), larger ones with thin to thick walls to hold tapa and other articles or to serve as drums. Orientals cook and eat the white pulp of green fruits. Hawaiians have distinguished between a kind with bitter pulp, used medicinally, and a kind with nonbitter pulp. For gourds classified according to shape and color see hōkeo, hue, hulilau, kūkaeʻiwa, ʻolo, poʻokanaka. cf. pule ipu. (Neal 812–3) bc PPN *ipu.
