There is an interesting use of 'hoona' not because of the use of the 'h', which Kahui Kararehe was well known for, but because of the 'o' catergory.  Normally food would be referred to as 'haana'.  Perhaps the 'hoona' reflects the critical imporatnce of kai in this story in particular.  Or perhaps other evidence can be found to show that 'ō' is normally referred to in the 'o' catergory
