Moani<p>Pulelehua == butterfly. Literally, “praying flower,” from the way the wings fold up together like praying hands 🙏 or so my kumu told me! Which i assumed meant it’s a fairly new word, since I thought “pule” for “pray” is from English. BUT TODAY I LEARNED that “pule” for “pray” is from “PPN” (Proto Polynesian) and for pulelehua, Wehewehe has “(PCP puurere(f,s)ua.)” for the derivation, that is, from Proto Central Polynesian! <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/hwotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hwotd</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/hawaiianWordOfTheDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hawaiianWordOfTheDay</span></a> <a href="https://ohai.social/tags/HPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HPR</span></a> <a href="https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/hawaiian-word-of-the-day-march-25th" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">hawaiipublicradio.org/hawaiian</span><span class="invisible">-word-of-the-day-march-25th</span></a></p>

The new #hwotd #hawaiianWordOfTheDay is not available on the website yet… Luckily, I have something else to say about it today! Since I am posting HPR‘s daily content, I decided I need to become a supporter … and yesterday my thank-you gift arrived in the mail! It’s a notebook with a lovely design on the cover that’s a mashup of the Hawaiʻian moon calendar with an audio mixing board! #HawaiianPublicRadio #HPR #calendar #moonCalendar #lunarCalendar

Photo of the notebook as described, the buttons and slider controls on the drawing of the radio console are moons in all 29 phases, labeled with the Hawaiian name for that phase
