Huli wali = 'woman'; her epithet Honabe wali glosses as 'the woman Honabe', the earth/creator-mother. As a primordial procreatrix who founds the divine order she is rendered here as a deity (ancestress-creatress tier); the Huli classify lesser nature-spirits as dama but Honabe stands above that class. Mother of the sun (Ni), moon (Hana) and the eponymous ancestor Hela.
