"Ka pahu kapu" [] refers to the boundary markers that demarcate forbidden areas. To "kukulu", or erect such stakes would provide a sanctuary for "ka leo," the voice. "Pahu" also means drum, and so figuratively, the voice refers to the sound of the sacred drum, in this case, Pele's crater. To hear an eruption is to hear the sacred and also to have been warned that Pele is ready to exit." - "Mele Komo" Ka Honua Ola, Pualani Kanaka'ole Kanahele
Frog arrived early. He was often early for parties when it came to climatic change. When pushed to explain his predilection Frog was easy with it, "We have very thin skins, very little separates us from whatever is tampering with World. Good or bad? The grandmothers put it this way: it makes no never mind. It will come."
Traveling Frog was a name the old storyteller had once given him when the golden wagon on a trailer was very young. As a nickname Frog was called T.F. Even before Raven returned showing himself to the storyteller as a shadow, the amphibian made himself known with his croaks. Invisible, yet as the voice of the Fire Goddess warns of her presence, so too did Frog.
