Title:	Nā Iʻoa (Place & Person Names) Flashcards
Description:	I‘oa are an ‘ano (type) of hua‘ölelo Hawai‘i that include inoa of places and people, such as those shown below. There are also some special hua‘ölelo, such as wai (who) that are also i‘oa. I‘oa and their use in the analula (sentence structure rules) will be a major focus of this chapter. <br /><br />In Hawaiian a major cultural feature is the importance of the names of people and places. Some inoa can be kapu and only used by certain people. The word wai is a special i‘oa, one that is not a person's or place's name. There are not many of this type of i‘oa.
