Papa helu loliWehewehe Wikiwiki update log

The sixth letter of the Hawaiian alphabet. It represents the sound of a liquid as in other languages; hence it is easily changed to such of the other liquids as are similarly pronounced, that is: N and the smooth American R in foreign words, thus, nanai for lanai; on the contrary lanahu is used for nanahu. L is inserted sometimes, for the sake of euphony, between a verb and its passive termination ia; as, kaulia for kauia; manaolia for manaoia.
