Temple image (Malo 162); lord of images (Malo 173); according to Kepelino and Kamakau, a rank of chiefs who could succeed to the government but who were of lower rank than chiefs descended from the god Kāne (For. 6:266). The term mōʻī was apparently not used in the Fornander legends collected in the 1860s nor in RC.
