Samoan ancestral deity, the youngest brother of Saveasiuleo the eel-lord of Pulotu. At the parting of the brothers Saveasiuleo prophesied to him that they would meet again through their descendants, fulfilled in Nafanua and the Malietoa line. Named in the registry as the brother from whom Saveasiuleo separated. (A third brother, Salevao, is named in some tellings but is not authored here as he is not named in the audited prose.)
