Alaheʻe haole == mock orange
I posted this last year but I’m repeating because this time I have a photo of what I call mock orange. I ran across this shrub in Monterrey Park last week.

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)

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:
