"e kala mai"

"kala au iā ʻoe" / "ke kala kou" etc.?

ke ʻoluʻolu, e kōkua mai iaʻu e aʻo mai!

In some books i’ve read, they list Pēpē as a modern word and a hawaiianized word of baby. So that makes me curious if anyone knows some names for Halapepe that were used in the wa kahiko.

I have the same question for alani. Some species go by kukaemoa and mokihana(kaua’i) but what about the other species? Anyone know any names? Or was it likely always alani but if so, what would the name alani have meant to the old hawaiians back then? Would it refer to the scent and only the scent or the color?

He aha ko ʻoukou mele penahele ma ka ʻōlelo hawaiʻi?Makemake au e hoʻolohe i nā mele hou ma ka ʻōlelo hawaiʻi

What's your favorite Hawaiian songs? I wanna listen to more songs in Hawaiian

Aloha kākou, this is my first post on here!

On the Wikipedia page for ʻōlelo hawaiʻi, it also lists a "Molokaʻi dialect", but the page no longer exists.

I can't find further information online about a dialect specific to Molokaʻi, and now I'm really curious if one has existed at some point.

Please kōkua, mahalo!
