s. The name of an ancient sail for canoes; o ka pea o ko lakou waa i ka wa kahiko, he la ka inoa o ia pea.

adj. Like the sun; sunny, that is, warm; haalele o Poleahu i kona kapa hau, lalau like lakou i ke kapa la. Laieik. 113.

s. The sun; he mea e malamalama ai i ke ao, ke alii o ka malamalama, that which gives light to day, the king of light.

2. Day or light, in distinction from po, darkness.

3. A particular or appointed day; la ka- lahala, day of atonement. Oihk. 23:27. A particular day of the month or year.

4. The effects of the heat of the sun, i. e., a drought; ka la nui, a great drought; heat; warmth. Stifling heat is ikiiki.

a particle following verbs, mostly in some preterit tense, and generally connected with either mai, aku, iho or ae. Gram. § 239 and 240. It is also used with nouns and adverbs and seems to have a slight reference to place; similar, but not so marked or strong as the French la.

name of the eighth letter of the Hawaiian alphabet. It represents the sound of a liquid as in other languages; hence it is easily assimilated to such of the other liquids as are similarly pronounced, viz.: n and the smooth American r in foreign words. Thus, nanai for lanai; on the contrary lanahu is used for nanahu, &c. L is inserted sometimes, for the sake of euphony, between a verb and its passive termination ia; as, kaulia for kauia; manaolia for manaoia. The letter h is used in a similar manner. See H and Grammar § 48.

The name of the letter la instead of el is required by a law of the language, viz.: that every syllable must end with a vowel sound.

Like the sun; sunny; warm: haalele o Poleahu i kona kapa hau, lalau like lakou i ke kapa la.—Laieik. p. 113.
