October 9th "Words of the Day"

We looked at these two words/phrases, both of which are associated with hula:

ai ha'a (meaning dance low, with bent knees)

hapa haole (part-white person; of part-white blood; part white and part Hawaiian); in reference to hula, it could be referred to as hula hapa haole, a hula danced to a mele hapa haole (a Hawaiian type of song with English words and perhaps a few Hawaiian words).
