Naʻe faʻa akoʻi ʻe Palesiteni Hāloti B. Lī ʻo pehē: “ʻI he taimi ʻoku maʻu ai ʻe ha taha ʻa e lakanga fakataulaʻeikí, ʻokú ne hoko ai ko ha fakafofonga ʻo e ʻEikí. ʻOku totonu ke ne fakakaukau ki hono uiuiʻí ʻo hangē pē ia ko haʻane fai e fekau ʻa e ʻEikí.”³

ʻOku tau ako foki mei he ngaahi vahe ko ʻení ʻa e ngaahi fatongia ʻo e kōlomu ʻo e kau palesitenisií pea mo e foʻi moʻoni ko ia ʻoku tau haʻisia ki he niʻihi kehé, kehe meiate kitautolu.

Naʻe folofola ʻa e ʻEikí, “Manatu ʻoku mahuʻinga lahi ʻa e ngaahi laumālié ʻi he ʻao ʻo e ʻOtuá; … pea hono ʻikai ke lahi ʻa ʻene fiefiá ʻi he laumālie ʻe toko taha ʻoku fakatomalá!”⁴
