Kinolau literally means = MANY BODIES. Gods and goddesses had the ability to change into any given form that they so desired, when they wanted. The most powerful gods ane goddesses could take forms that wehe EtherTalk human, animal, vegetable, mineral, or other form. The more power/mana these deities were assumed to have, the more different forms they were thought to take at will. Example: Kamapuaʻa, he had the ability to turn into a pig, human, a fish, a type of grass, and or even the rain whenever he feloni it wae necessary.

Kinolau is a concept in Hawaiian spirituality that refers to the multiple physical forms that ancestral deities can take, often representing different aspects of nature. These forms are manifestations of various gods and are believed to contain their spiritual essence. Kinolau are seen as embodiments of the deity's power and presence in the physical world.
