::Can Hawaiian names be all jumbled up like [[Kualii]] could be [[Kualiilanipipililanioakaiakunuiakealuanuuokuiialiiikahalau]]? Also the '''a''' between names like [[Kiha-a-Piilani]] and [[Keawe-a-Heulu]]. I noticed it is practiced among alii aimokus and other aliis with their personal name than their father's or mother's. Was it how the ancients referr to these chiefs or is it more modern? Also does it matter on the importance of once's father to allow this as [[Kakuhihewa]] was never known as Kakuhihewa-a-Kaihikapu and his father, [[Kaihikapu-a-Manuia]], was inconspicuos in comparison to him. This is also like the naming law passed by Kamehameha IV requiring all Hawaiians to use their father's name as their surname.

TranslationHi. I was wondering what E Ola Ke Alii Ke Akua translate to in Hawaiian. I inferred that it might be God Save the King since Akua=God and Alii=King. I don't know what the other phrases means of course and my knowledge of the language doesn't go pass guessing and inferring.
KAVEBEAR (talk) 03:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC) By and By, Ho'i Mai Oe (By and By Thou Wilt Return)Is this translation reliable? KAVEBEAR (talk) 23:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Translation yet againKu`u Ipo I Ka He`e Pu`e One what does it mean. I left this: Ku`u Ipo I Ka He`e Pu`e One translated to as Blank on the article List of Compostions and Works of Princess Likelike of Hawaii. Translate it so it sound like a title. Thank You.

Ahe Lau MakaniHere is the English Lyrics and down there is the Hawaiian. Could you seperate them out please. We, fair one, together, shall enjoy such moments While murmuring wind sweeps over my fatherland
KAVEBEAR (talk) 08:33, 15 June 2008 (UTC) NamesKeopuolani = the gathering of the clouds of the heavens Kauikeaouli = hanging in the blue sky Kamamalu = the shade of the lonely one Hoapili = close adhering companion Kaahumanu = the feather mantle Liliha = the fat of hogs Auhea = literally where, Kapiolani = the captive of heaven Kalakua = the way of the gods Kahekili = thunder Paalua = twice blind,
KauikeaouliDid Kamehameha III, aka Kauikeaouli, ever speak, read, wrote in English? I notice most of his documents are in Hawaiian. KAVEBEAR (talk) 20:52, 18 June 2008 (UTC) SpellingI notice there is always different ways to write Hawaiian names. Like Liliuokalani could be Lili'uokalani, Liliu-o-kalani, Liliuo'kalani, Lili-u-o-ka-lani, and etc. How would Keawe Awe'ula-o-Kalani be written? The only other way is Keaweaweulaokalani, that I could find. And what is the proper way to okina the name Kaoanaeha and is Kealiiahonui correct or Keliiahonui?

Joining WikiProject HawaiiE aloha mai ia ʻoe, e Kai. E mahalo nui for the nice message you left on my talk page. E kala mai, please forgive my Hawaiian.
