Remarks | This Hawaiian common name broken down into its syllables is ma-no pa-'e-le. As per reference 26145, the punction mark (') in a Hawaiian word denotes the glottal stop, a common feature of Polynesian languages. It indicates a brief pause at this point in the produciation of a word. At one time in the past there was a consonant where the glottal stop now occurs. |
