/ U-HA-NE /1. s., See hane and hanehane in the meles. The soul; the spirit of a person. Oihk. 5:1. He mea ninau i na uhane ino, a consulter of evil spirits. Kanl. 18:11. He kino wailua.
2. The ghost or spirit of a deceased person.
3. The Spirit; applied to the third person of the Trinity. Ioan. 1:32. Uhane Hemolele, the Holy Spirit. NOTE.—Hawaiians supposed that men had two souls each; that one died with the body, the other lived on either visible or invisible as might be, but had no more connection with the person deceased than his shadow. These ghosts could talk, cry, complain, whisper, &c. There were those who were supposed to be skillful in entrapping or catching them.
