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

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).
