Ne fakaʻau ʻo fuʻu hohaʻa ʻa Lusi Hālisi ko e uaifi ʻo Mātení ʻo kau ki he tokanga mo e kau atu ʻa Māteni ki he ngaahi meʻa fakapaʻanga ki hono liliu ʻo e ʻū lauʻi peletí.

“Ne fie maʻu ʻe [Māteni] ke u kole ki he ʻEikí, ʻo fakafou ʻi he ʻŪlimí mo e Tūmemí, pe ʻe lava ke [ʻalu mo e ʻū lauʻi pēsí ki ʻapi ʻo fakaʻaliʻali ia].
