"nalo" meaning in Hawaiian

See nalo in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈna.lo/, [ˈnɐ.lo]
Etymology: From Proto-Polynesian *laŋo “houseflies, bees, wasps” by metathesis (compare with Maori ngaro and rango, Tongan lango, Samoan lago) from Proto-Malayo-Polynesian *laŋaw (compare with Malay langau “horsefly”, Tagalog langaw “fly”). Sense of bee is extension, compare also with connection between Maori ngaro and ngaro huruhuru for similar semantic overlap.
