maʻawe in Hawaiian

[Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Inherited from Proto-Nuclear Polynesian *makawe (“hair, strand of hair” – compare with Maori makawe and Samoan maʻave). Likely related to ʻawe “tentacle”. Sense of trace or path can be compared to parallel semantic evolution of English line which also means “cord, string”.
