Overview
Katalina places Hanitemaus at Solhofu with a bathing place off Oinafa. Her account describes people seeking answers through a medium, with collective gathering and performance. The editor notes that Katalina first located the activity on a hill behind Lopta and later also affirmed a spirit house. Those recorded variations remain visible instead of fixing one exclusive sanctuary.
Faimanu’s subsection describes a bush woman carrying a large rock to break sea snails. Dawn makes her fear being seen at Haga; she throws the stone toward Voitentene and retreats. The named rock Fufre’e anchors that episode. Although filed under Hanitemaus, the recorded narrative itself calls her the woman from the bush, so the editorial identification is distinguished from an explicitly spoken personal name.
Origins & earliest records
