Awesome, Isis! 

For the sake of continuity, I dug back into some Tongan mythology. I came up with “Savea" or “Laumua"

See http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-TuvAcco-t1-body1-d1.html <http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-TuvAcco-t1-body1-d1.html>:

"36.	
Paepule and Suga went to Savea and said 'reconsider your decision and stop the appointments as Suga was absent.' Savea replied that the appointments had been made and that Lealali had departed with his Tumua and Alataua. 'The Tumua and Alataua which I hold I give to you. I will remain here with my title Laumua.' This was done and the incident is known as the division of Faleali’i.”

Cheers!

Tom
