      I have something at 6pm, so I probably can't make it over to La Mariana until 8pm.

        As always when it rains it pours. Months go by with no parties to go to and one night of the year has 4 of them.........Would have loved to come but am helping with the big party for the New Zealand club of Hawaii across the
        street (at least no driving involved!). Would sure have loved to meet
        so many of you! XOXO "Leash"

          Already contracted for playing music that night, so I've gotta miss the HT party again.

            Of course, my family and I should be there (me, the wife, three keiki). Surfingfarmboy is in town for the Honolulu Marathon on Dec. 13. I don't suppose he'll hang around until Friday?

                  How wonderful! No doubt they are in for a treat! Have fun!

                  The New Zealand party across the street is also having entertainment.

                      Pencil in two, maybe three for us, so far. Hubby may be on the mainland, may be only the keiki and me.

                      (Is keiki singular or plural? It will be singular for me.)

                        Both. You can have one keiki or dozens of keiki, but there is no such word as "keikis." Annoys me every time I hear it!
                        You got it right.

                          Off topic but I'm almost certain that the plural for Hawaiian words is the same as the singular.

                            Pretty much, but some changes occur - prefix usually changes from "ka" (or "ke") to "na," and some words get kahakō added when they are pluralized, like "kupuna" to "kūpuna." And I'm generalizing from an amateur's perspective.

                              All I do is remember the fact that there is no "S" in the Hawaiian alphabet. After that, I have no idea what to do!

                                I can't speak to the Hawaiian language specifically, but I would guess it is very similar to Tongan in it's structure.

                                In Tongan, keiki is singluar meaning child. Two children would be "u keiki". Three or more children would be "ongo keiki". The Tongan language had modifier prefixes for the plural. "U" for two of anything or "ONGO" for more than two of anything. "u fale" would be two huts and "ongo fale" would be more than two huts.

                                BTW, there is no "NG" combination in the original Tongan language! So what gives with all the "NG's"? Tonga is really Toga. Ongo keiki is really ogo keiki. Ngau Ngaue (a command which means "get busy") is really Gau Gaue.

                                So.....the "G" in The Toga language is pronounced like "NG" as in the word "song." The early missionaries, when giving Toga a written language, couldn't decide how to write down that particular sound. Originally it was written "G". Over time, the "NG" designation prevailed since it seemed to give a better description of the sound.

                                BTW, BTW, Tonga in most polynesian languages means "South."
