Na Mea Kaua Hawaii, could take any impromptu form. In this case this small curly Koa Pahoa would have been fashioned from a broken shaft and the barbed tip of a Ihe Laumeke. Not to be wasteful, recycling weaponry, by reshaping and redefining could be seen, in implements that would serve dual purpose, for example a wife might as easily use a la'au palau or wooden Newa to pound Kapa cloth. or an Ihe might also be used as a Auamo/ carry stick/spear combo.
