Hawaiian Word of the Day: July 22nd

means: night, darkness, obscurity, the realm of the gods. The Hawaiian day begins at nightfall, so instead of using the word for the days of the week, as is done in English, we use for nights, and then modify it to make the nights of the week. For example pō akihi or pō alua.
