Kamakawi Word of the Day

leya

• (n.) rock, stone
• (nm.) a boy’s given name

Ale ei i leya oala takepalaki.
“Because I’m a mean talking rock.”

Notes: Hee, hee… This is my favorite line from the LCC2 Relay.

So this is the iku I was talking about yesterday. It’s kind of a combination of le and ia which…I don’t have an entry for?! Holy smoke! Okay, that’s coming next. Anyone, it’s like a combo of those two without the overline. It’s clearly different from lea, though, so I don’t see why I needed the notch on lea… Oh well. As I said, I like the cut of its jib.
