Naʻá ku fie maʻu mo hoku husepānití ke tānaki ke lahi ʻaupito, ka naʻe ʻikai ke ma lava ʻo fakatau fakaʻangataha mai, peá ma pehē ai ke ma fakatau ʻo kiʻi fakalahi mai pē ʻi he uike takitaha. Naʻá ma kumi ʻa e ngaahi fakamaʻamaʻa ʻi he ngaahi meʻa naʻá ma faʻa fakataú, tautautefito ki he meʻakai faʻokapá.

Hili e lahi feʻunga ʻema meʻakai fakatolongá, ne ma kamata leva ke kai mei ai, mo tukupā ke fetongi kotoa e meʻa takitaha kuo kaí ʻaki ha meʻa ʻe ua kehe.
