''Tuʻi Kanokupolu'' (chiefs) are a junior rank of the Haʻa Tuʻi (king's lineage) in Tonga. ==Terminology== The ''Haʻa Tuʻi Kanokupolu'' are described as ''Kau Halalalo''. ''Kauhala'' means ''side of the road'' and ''lalo'' means ''lower''. Thus, ''Kau Halalalo'' is the lower side of the road. The term ''Kau Halalalo'' differentiates the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Kanokupolu'' from the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Tonga'' who are the most senior and sacred members of the king's lineage. In contrast to ''Kau Halalalo'', the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Tonga'' are the ''Kau Halaʻuta'', meaning the ''higher side of the road''. In Muʻa Tongatapu, the ancient capital of Tonga and the traditional residence of the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Tonga'', the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Tonga'' lived on the higher, inland side of the road, whereas, the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Kanokupolu'' lived on the lower, beach side of the road. In Muʻa Tongatapu, the settlement was expanded along the lower, beach side of the road. During ''Inasi ceremonies'', when tributes were brought from the various chiefdoms (districts) of the Tonga empire to the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Tonga'', the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Kanokupolu'' would arrive in canoes and settle along the beach. After presenting their tributes (such as fruit), the ''Haʻa Tuʻi Kanokupolu'' would return to their chiefdoms. ''Tupou'' is the title given to the Tuʻi Kanokupolu. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tuʻi Kanokupolu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
