Woman's body found off Kalapana

[ssshjar_johnson]

Could anyone tell me what IMUA (ee mooh ah) means? I have recently noticed this word or acronym being used by residence of Hawaii. I have looked it up online and found a definition (Definition: first; front; ahead; forward; number one), but this definition does not always make sense in the context I have seen it used. I wasn't able to find this word/acronym in the Webster Dictionary or Wikipedia. The definition I found was from http://www.e-hawaii.com/pidgin/imua. I am hoping some of the Puna bloggers could help me out.

Thanks, Sarah
