We all learn the word “kahakō” meaning “macron,” the bar over the long vowel (as in its own final letter). But it also means “steep, sheer” as in this ʻŌlelo Nōʻeau:

“1527  Ka pali kahakō lele a koa‘e.

Sheer cliff reached only by the tropic bird.

A tall, inaccessible cliff.”

In the Fall 2024 Audubon magazine is an interesting article about a bird researcher who’s cataloging and photographing specimens of Hawaiian birds which are in non-Hawaiian museums. The reference to an ʻōlelo noʻeau caught my eye. Interesting! #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #OleloHawaii #audubon #extinction

#HawaiianPublicRadio didn’t post today’s #hawaiianWordOfTheDay so instead of sharing that, I’ll share my new favorite ʻŌlelo Noʻeau!

I kāhi ‘e no ke kumu mokihana, paoa ‘e no ‘one‘i i ke ‘ala.
Although the mokihana tree is at a distance, its fragrance reaches here.
Although a person is far away, the tales of his good deeds come to us.

In #Hawaiian class this week, we discussed this #oleloNoeau and one student said it’s like the English “Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched!” (Excerpt From ‘Ōlelo No‘eau Mary Kawena Pukui & Dietrich Varez) #hawaiianLanguage #olelo #oleloHawaii #LearnHawaiian #olelonoeau #maryKawenaPukui #adage #wiseSaying
