Formerly, O`ahu


As Moe would say:

A stands for AKAHAI, meaning kindness,
to be expressed with tenderness.

L stands for LOKAHI, meaning unity,
to be expressed with harmony.

O stands for OLU`OLU, meaning agreeable,
to be expressed with pleasantness.

H stands for HA`AHA`A, meaning humility,
to be expressed with modesty.

A stands for AHONUI, meaning patience.

~ Pîlahi Paki
