As the sister of the Tuʻi Tonga, Sinaitakala was too highly ranked to marry any Tongan, she formed a class on herself, she was the first Tuʻi Tonga Fefine. Luckily she fell in love with a chief from Fiji, Tapuʻosi, the Tui Lakeba, who was outside the Tongan ranking system.

With her started the Tamahā (her children, especially her oldest daughter) and the Fale Fisi (chiefs perhaps higher than the Tuʻi Tonga, but as outsiders not a treat to him).

Tokiukamea mentions the name Chenitacala (English pronunciation, with the 's' still a 'j' in that time) as a goddess, the soul of a once great chiefess. FOKI
