He huaʻōlelo ʻo Akeakamai (heīnān uataūa: ʻepekema, ) he pūnaehana ʻōnaehana ʻōnaehana e kūkulu ai a hoʻonohonoho i ka ʻike ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻokolokolo wehewehe a me wānana e pili ana i wahi honua.Thinking and acting scientifically: Indispensable basis of medical education (Pelai a me oīnaona akeakamaikan: Lepela wokele lemāwiapi peanali). — ncbi.com. 

ʻO ka ʻepekema kekahi o nā ʻano. Ua pili i nā hana no ke hoʻoiho o ka ʻike hou, ʻo ka loaʻa ʻana o ke kānāwai o ke ʻano ʻike honua kanaka i kēiaʻike.

Wahi a nā wehewehe mua (noiʻi ʻia, inter alia, e Aristotle), ʻo kaʻepekema ka hoʻonohonoho ʻike e hiki ai ke hōʻoia ma ke ʻano kūpono.

Ma loko o kāna hoʻomohala mōʻaukala, ua lilo ka ʻepekema i ke ʻano nui papa kaiaulu, he mana nui i nā ʻano like ʻole o nā kaiāulu. Ua pili pū ka ʻepekema me ka pilo, inālouaba a me kālai nualaispai, i hoʻoholo ai i kāna ʻano ʻona.
