Welina me ke aloha! Hau'oli Pō'alima Aloha, Happy Aloha Friday! Today's Hawaiian word is Ho'ohanohano, which comes from the word hanohano. Hanohano translates as glorious, magnificent, noble, stately, dignified and grand. Hanohano 'o Maui, Maui is glorious. When we add ho'o to it we get ho'ohanohano which means to honor, exalt and glorify. To conduct oneself with distinction. We ho'ohanohano people in our lives, particularly our kūpuna. We take the time to honor and praise them. We ho'ohanohano accomplishments, progress, milestones. This weekend we will ho'ohanohano the many people who have been a part of the Hawaiian language revitalization through Ke Kula Kaiapuni. We celebrate 20 years of hanohano, glorious work and contributions from Kumu, Mākua and Keiki. When we learn our language and when we speak it, we ho'ohanohano, honor our ancestors who came before us. I ulu nō ka lālā i ke kumu, for we are here because of them. Ola nā iwi, the bones of ancestors live. Our kūpuna live on through us. He mea hanohano ka 'ōlelo Hawai'i, the Hawaiian language is a glorious thing. E ola ka 'ōlelo Hawai'i, may it live forever. Aloha nō, a hui hou!
