New Information

The title of this blog has changed, as you may have noticed.  New information came to light, as they say.   I named this blog after the one of the winds of Ka'u, whose name I got from a passing conversation with a friend who happens to be a great authority on all things native Hawaiian.  I thought she called the wind ehulepo but perhaps I misheard her, because it is called kuehu lepo in the song "Aloha No Ka'u."  My daughter Ua pointed this out to me.  And it makes more sense, linguistically.

Aia i ka lae hema o Keawe
P ā mai ana ka makani Kuehu Lepo

There at the southern tip of Keawe
The Kuehu Lepo wind blows
