So, Ron, since you're handing out the Hawaiian names instead of gold stars, 
and I'm sure I've said something gold star-worthy in the past, howsabout a 
Hawaiian name for myself? If you're going by meaning, I'm pretty content 
with the meanings of my three names.


Smarmily yours,

Isaac M. Davis

Hmmm ... if I took the time to think about it really hard I might be able to 
come up with something meritous you've said or done.  ;-)

My thinking is that them gold stars are very small and easily get lost, 
while a Hawaiian "tribal" name can be borne as a badge of honor for 
eternity.

"Isaac" will do, since it suits your "cool Celtesque sense of humor" (Hebrew 
יִצְחָק _Yişħâq_ (Yitzchak) 'he'll laugh', 'laughing one') in conjunctions 
with your current signature:

'Akakō'eleiālani
(< *Katatōkereihārangi)

'aka (laughter)
'eleiālani (west [poetic], also a shaman’s name])
kō (wind-borne)

Incidentally, there are well over a hundred, if not hundreds of, Hawaiian 
words for 'wind', describing their directions, strengths and temperatures 
and in many cases also their specific localities.  Each Island or part of an 
island has its own set of winds.

Ho'oponopono'ōlelo
(< *Fokopongopongokōrero)

ho'oponopono (regulate(-ing))
'ōlelo (speech, language)


I'm hoping that all this talk will somehow result in a discussion about 
Hawaiian (English-based) Creole and generate Hawaiian Creole and Hawaiian 
language versions of the Wren story ...

Aloha,
Reinhard/Ron

P.S.: Sorry I forgot St. Nicolas Day.  I hope that all of you who celebrate 
it had a good day.
