      No, it doesn't mean that.
      I'll bite, and reveal my cluelessness here: If "Hawai`i" is the English word for those Islands, what would be the word in `olelo Hawai`i? (And I'm not referring to only Moku O Keawe here.)
      I'm having difficulty interpreting this. Are you asking whether "Hawai`i" is still an English word when it's part of an Hawaiian phrase? No, I suppose it isn't, unless perhaps the entire phrase has been borrowed into English. But what does it have to do with what I said?
