quote:Aloha, EightFingers. The literal translation from Hawaiian language to English is sometimes difficult. Specifically, the word "lokahi", in this instance, means both (jmo).

Never heard of the Aloha 5, I'll try to remember it.

Lokahi - meaning harmony, peace within, to unite
When our kupuna spoke in Hawaiian (when we were little, and they didn't want us to know what was going on...[]), the context in which words were used was different, depending on the conversation. Also, the Hawaiian language used today is very different from the Hawaiian spoken when I was a child. JMO.
bananahead, you are so right! One of my all time favorites (I still refer to them on occasion) is NA NA I KE KUMU (Volume I & II).
