Body, person, individual, self, main portion, physique, receptacle; form; fully formed, as a foetus; bodily, physical, material, nonspiritual; hull of a ship.

Ka ʻŌlelo Noʻeau o kēia pule: Kau ka lā i ka lolo, hoʻi ke aka i ke kino. 
The sun stands over the brain, the shadow retreats into the body. #1611
Said of the high noon, when the sun is directly overhead and no shadows are seen- an important time for some ancient rites and ceremonies.
