Why does the world "makua kāne" have the space in the center, unlike the word "makuahine"?

In Pukui & Elbert, "Makuahine" (makuawahini) is printed without a space. "Makua kāne" has the two separate.

Just keep it spaced. Sometimes you'll so 'oia or 'o ia. A lot of words are compounds of words. Like 'wai'. It's everywhere because water is everywhere in Hawai'i.
You'd have to ask a Hawaiian language teacher about makuahine. My guess is it is a slang that happened because of the double wa sound in makua wahine.
