Pocket Place Names of Hawaii

Summary: Pubic Hair?
Review: Well, you know Kapahulu Street runs away from Waikiki beach, by the park and the zoo. And if you get your Hawaiian dictionary you'll find Kapa could mean a crotch, generally female. And hulu could mean lined with feathers, or hair. So does that mean you're walking down the street named after Female Pubic Hair?

Actually, it's not Kapa-hulu, it turns out it's Ka (the) Pahulu (barren ground). Totally different. If you're visiting Hawai'i, and you want to have some idea of the history of where you are, this little pocket book makes for some interesting reading.
