ʻO ka mua, he aha ke kukui?
Ma muli o ka hoʻohana ʻana o ke kanaka i ke ahi, ua hoʻomaka mākou i ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana, a i kēia manawa ke hoʻohana mālie nei mākou i nā mea uila ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe. Eia naʻe, i ka wā kahiko, hoʻohana nui ʻia kā mākou kukui ahi i ka pō.
I ka wā e pili ana i nā kukui o kēia wā, inā he mau hōkele, nā hale kūʻai kūʻai, a i ʻole ko mākou keʻena o kēlā me kēia lā a me ka home, ua lōʻihi nā kukui a me nā kukui i waho o ke kukui o ka pō.
ʻO ka manaʻo o ke kukui, ʻo ia hoʻi, hoʻohana mākou i ka hopena noʻonoʻo o nā mea i ka mālamalama, i ʻike mau ka maka o ke kanaka i ka mea i hoʻomālamalama ʻia ke pohihihi ka mālamalama. ʻO ka hoʻomālamalama ʻana me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kumu kukui hana ʻole (me ka lā, ka mahina, a me ka kukui holoholona) i kapa ʻia he kukui kūlohelohe. ʻO ke kukui e hoʻohana ana i nā kumu kukui artificial i kapa ʻia he kukui artificial.
ʻO ka maʻamau, e like me nā hoʻohana like ʻole, hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā kukui artificial i ʻelua mau ʻāpana: nā kukui ola a me nā kukui ʻoihana. I waena o lākou, ʻo nā kukui ola e pili ana i nā kukui home a me nā kukui ākea.
ʻO nā kukui home e pili ana i ka kukui lumi lumi, nā kukui lumi lumi, nā kukui lumi moe, nā kukui haʻawina, nā kukui lumi ʻaina a me nā kukui lumi lumi i loko o ka hale.
ʻO nā kukui lehulehu e pili ana i nā kukui kalepa, nā kukui kula, nā kukui kahua pāʻani, nā kukui hale hōʻikeʻike, nā kukui o ka haukapila, nā kukui hale keʻena a me nā kukui alanui.
Hoʻopili nā kukui ʻoihana i nā kukui ʻoihana a me nā mining a me nā kukui uila. ʻO ke kukui ʻoihana a me ka mining e pili ana i nā kukui maʻamau, nā kukui kūloko, nā kukui ulia pōpilikia, nā kukui kūikawā, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe i ka papahele hale hana. ʻO ke kukui kaʻa e pili ana i ke kukui kaʻa, kukui moku, kukui alahao a me nā kukui lele.
I ka pōkole, inā he kukui maoli a i ʻole nā kukui artificial, aia ma nā wahi āpau. No ka lāhui hou, ua lilo ka hoʻolālā kukui i mea nui.
No laila, he aha ka hoʻolālā kukui?
Ma ʻaneʻi, hōʻaiʻē mākou i nā ʻōlelo a nā haku hoʻolālā kukui e wehewehe:
ʻO kahi hoʻolālā e nānā like i ka manaʻo kaiapuni a me ka hana o ka māmā, hiki ke ola i ka mālamalama maoli a me ke kukui artificial i ka manawa like. He mea nui ka ʻike o ke ʻano a me ke kanaka a me ke ʻano. ʻO ia ka nohona maʻamau o ke kanaka, a ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā manaʻo a me nā hana.
ʻO ka hoʻolālā kukui he kiʻi e makemake e hoʻohui i ka mālamalama me ko mākou ola. ʻO ka lā, ke kukui, ke kukui, ka mahina, he mālamalama nā mea a pau. Loaʻa i ka mea like nā ʻano a me nā ʻano like ʻole, no laila e haʻalele ke ʻano o ka "hoʻolālā" i ko mākou ola.
