5/29/2010 Day 30 R5AY and Pup

Thanks Lesley for sharing todays' photos.... great shots. It is my understanding the pup has been given the name Malie Ua which to the best of my knowledge means calm rain... (it is my personal opinion this pup is anything but calm)... Its a beautiful name... I would just like to make sure from some who knows the Hawaiian language that it is being used in the correct context.  Otherwise it is beautiful.

Hawaiian is similar to Spanish: In general, adjectives that are descriptive follow the noun they describe. (Ex. Leilani "heavenly flowers, na maka nui "big eyes"...you get the idea). Ua malie would seem more appropriate.
