Do they all mean sick? I've heard all of those used before. Sorry if 'oma'ima'i has an 'okina that I didn't put in at the beginning. I've only heard it spoken, so I don't know.

How is the meaning changed, or is it?

the world's greatest dictionary...says ma'i is indeed sick, and both oma'ima'i and ma'ima'i both mean chronically sick.

Hiki no. Mahalo for your clarification.
