HAU
s. Name of the land breeze that blows at night; hence, any cool breeze; he hau kekahi makani mauka mai, un manao ia mai loko mai o ke kuahiwi kela makani. NOTE.—This word has several forms. It usually takes ke for its article instead of ka; but the ke is sometimes united with it, and then it becomes kehau. This however requires a new article, which would be ke, ke kehau; but this article also sometimes adheres to the noun, and thus requires a new article still; hence the different forms of the word: hau, kehau, and kekehau, all of which take corresponding articles.
