Local Lingo

Puka is the Hawaiian word for hole, and if you hear someone yell it while you follow him through the jungle, watch out! There are many places around the island where collapsed sections of lava flow have created puka in the terrain, and can easily swallow up a foot or more. Kīpuka is a term used for an opening of a small, isolated place of lush forest that have been spared by former lava flows but are surrounded by the telltale black rock. These kīpuka are often oases inhabited by large communities of native plants and animals. Puka shells are small white shells with a hole in the center used to make jewelry. A Hawaiian riddle: Puka kinikini; puka kinikini; ‘a‘ohe ona puka e puka aku a (many, many holes; many, many holes; but no hole to go out through). Answer is a fish net.
