Kopu’u fale tiu e’i o ei eyana.
“The grass feels good on my feet.”
Notes: If one accepts the grass for what it is, grass can feel quite good on bare feet.
That’s all. That’s my observation for the day.
This iku is formed from the iku for ta, “sand”. The little lineys up top are little blades (leaves?) of grass. It’s like grass set upon the sand—something that can happen; I’ve seen it! Personally, I think it was another excuse to use the glyph for ta, which I love. It’s well represented in the writing system of Kamakawi.
