…and here’s “dizzy” number #27 — yesterday’s Hulihua puzzle solution. “Pihoa” isn’t listed when looking up “dizzy” … but when you look up “pihoa,” the definition consists of the single word “dizzy” :blobcatupsidedown:

Herewith, the word from January 12 (which was a Sunday in 2025), the first novel word after my year of sharing:
Huakaʻi == trip

So! HPR‘s Hawaiian Word of the day is repeating from last year, and I posted almost all of last year’s already… But, I finally figured out, since they only post them on weekdays, any day that was a weekend in 2025 is a a link I haven’t shared yet. The first of those was Monday January 5 (mea hana keaka), which was from before my one-year mark. I guess I can share the links on Mondays, which should all have been Sundays last year.

Well, the words appear to be repeating! I believe kolokolo was also the word for January 5 last year.
Kolokolo == gobble, gobble (the sound a turkey makes)
Bonus:
Pelehū == turkey (bird)
Kuleke == Turkey (country)

It has now been a year that I have been tooting the #HawaiianPublicRadio
#hawaiianWordOfTheDay each weekday. Since the URLs have a month/day format, without the year, Iʻm curious what will happen now that I am entering repeat days. My first toot was January 3, 2025, when the word was "pani hakahaka" meaning "subsitute". January 3 & 4 are the weekend this year so no new words. January 4 & 5 were the weekend last year, so my first potential conflict is tomorrow, January 6! #hawaiian

ʻĀkau == right or north
Another way Hawaiian performs better than English, because the word for right (as in correct) is pololei. We’ve all experienced a version of this stressful exchange:
Huli hema ma aneʻi?! (Turn left here?!)
ʻĀkau!! (Right!!)
In English the response is ambiguous, but in Hawaiian it’s clear! :blobcatflower:

Nānā ʻole == ignore
The “Hawaii Words” app (which doesn’t seem to be in the App Store any more?) fed me this word yesterday. I thought it was very timely after learning “nānākuli” for a specific type of ignoring as the June 6th HPR word of the day.
