TikiDude,

TraderWoody is quite right in that ancient (and even middle-aged) Hawaiians didn't have exact cause-and-effect names/meanings for various Tikis.

For instance the tiki god Ikali'i'mai'o'oka'ka was the god of love,friend and friendship, but also the god of death, dismemberment and immediate tax audit. It just depended on what mood Mrs. Ikai'i'mai'o'oka'ka was in.
