POKI


Meaning of POKI in English

[Folklore] In Hawaii there is a bell rock so called because when you strike it it's said to give out a clear sweet tone like the sound of a bell. It is also supposed to be a magic rock. If you stand on it at night, strike it, and wish to see the poki, he will soon appear in the sky or stretched out on the mountains. Sometimes he's described as cloud-like or dog-like.
