kapu1933

1933 Ancient Hawaiian Civilization (Bishop Museum, Honolulu) 35 The kapu was the ancient social and religious law of Hawaii... The word itself can best be translated ‘forbidden’. The king and all his family, his clothes, and his possessions, were kapu because of the ali‘i’s sacredness. All the rules and prohibitions established by the ali‘i..were called the ‘kapu system’.

1933 Ancient Hawaiian Civilization (Bishop Museum, Honolulu) 71 These prayers and the feast removed the kapu on the new dwelling.

1954 J. Sheridan in J. Macdonald Lethal Sex (1959) 151 That room is kapu. Definitely not the background for the sort of shindig his wife throws.

1968 Awake! 8 May 21/1 Under this [Polynesian] pagan religious system there was a set of taboos called kapu,..that controlled almost every action of every person.
