Functional inventory: mele pule prayer, kō'ihonua cosmogeny, kū'auhau genealogy, hānau birth, inoa name-giving, ma'i procreation, kanikau lamentation, ho'oipoipo love. Performance with terminal pitch-drop closing each line, the characteristic 'i'i quavering vibrato sustained on long vowels, and characteristic vocal-strain register in genealogy and prayer mele. Hula kahiko (ancient hula) uses sacred instruments — pahu coconut-log sharkskin drum (originally heiau temple instrument), ipu and ipu heke single and double gourds, pū'ili bamboo split-rattle, 'ulī'ulī feathered gourd rattle, 'ili'ili water-worn lava stones, pū conch — while hula 'auana (post-1832 modern hula) uses Western-instrument accompaniment.
