Moku - island, lele - ship, leap, fly (Island Hopper)
Think about it for a minute. Why would the Hawaiian language have airplane in it? Flying ship yes, but NOT AIRPLANE.
From that website
moku
1. vs. To be cut, severed, amputated, broken in two, as a rope; broken loose, as a stream after heavy rains, or as a bound person; to punctuate. Moku ka pawa, dawn has broken. Kai moku ka noho ʻana, relations separated by the sea. hoʻo.moku To cut and divide; a cutting, division, separation. (PPN motu.)
2. n. District, island, islet, section, forest, grove, clump, severed portion, fragment, cut, laceration, scene in a play. Cf. mokupuni, momoku. Moku lehua, lehua forest. hoʻo.moku To place one over a moku, district. (For. 6:377.) (PPN motu.)
3. n. Ship, schooner, vessel, boat, said to be so called because the first European ships suggested islands. Many types are listed below.
4. n. A stage of pounded poi (such poi sticks together as a mass and can be separated cleanly (moku) from the pounding board). (Kep. 165.)

Which Dictionary?
http://hawaiian-words.com/hawaiian-dictionary/
Mokulele = island
That is why I asked you why the Hawaiian Language would have airplane in it. It is a combination of words of different meanings. Like I said before island hopper a better definition for it

You're asking me which dictionary? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I followed your logic in taking the exact definition of "moku" and "lele" which you referenced from the site I included in my post, http://wehewehe.org (which, BTW, is co-sponsored by the University of Hawaii-Hilo -- currently the only educational institute that offers post-graduate studies in the Hawaiian language).
Hawaiian words are descriptive in nature. If you take the word "ukulele" and decipher it the way you've done with moklele, you have "jumping flea".

Problem is an older language try to be used in a future noun. Yes, I know it's a descriptive language. I've took Hawaiian Studies in High School. It was a required course.
Mokulele as an airplane is more a slang to the language. Like how haole is used in present day.
Also I know a few Hawaiians (and Hawaiian/Samoans) not to pleased on those studies as not authentic to the language. They once pointed me to a study. If I can find the link I'll send it to you.
Talk about thread creep.

Oh shush you!
Maybe this will keep you busy:
After 5 years, he's aged out of the system. He turns 24 in May. Drives, owns his own car works and goes to school FT. Moved out of his parents house and in with me.
I'm... cough... dating an adult now. The horror, the horror.
Lol!

Being fluent in German is a skill that rarely gets used here in the pacific northwest. And I really miss walking down the street to my neighborhood Bäkerei and grabbing some tasty Brötchen to go with some fresh Käse. Your screen name always makes me think of tasty German food.Weeellllll if you wanna get specific about it, Gruyère is a type of cheese made in Switzerland. So, technically my name still means Mr. Cheese, although specifically it's Mr. Gruyère. I just simplify it to "Mr. Cheese" for the general public, since I usually get confused looks when I start talking about cheeses like Gruyère and Comté.
Edit: But I'm pleased to see you have a knowledge of Deutsch!

I wouldn't say it'd ever be "worth my time" in a strictly monetary sense. I make about $43/game*. Each game takes ~1.5 hours (Except for college games), and the time to drive to the rink and back. If I do a set of three, it's "ok", but if I do singles it's pretty un-economical. College games are ~$100-$140/game, depending on level and ref/line .. but they take as long as 2.5 games... Still, lotsa fun.
Anyway, reffing hockey is something to do because you love hockey, not because you'll make money. Takes a thick skin, too... if you're the type of person apt to lose your temper, or unwilling to admit your mistakes... move on.
Otherwise, well... if you LOVE hockey, and want to give back to the game, and you can skate... then it's a pretty awesome thing to do.
Awesome ^.^ I'm rocking a new set of v4 7600 kickers, velo 7000 blocker and catcher, Eddy mask, Grafs etc.
Vaughn ftw. ^.^

4 out of 5 great lakes prefer Michigan.
Yeah that was my question, not looking to make $ from ref'ing, but I'd need a lil something to justify more time away from the family. Like I said, I just started skating out again, so I'm still working out the rust, but I'm thinking in a couple years I may try it out.
Vaughn is some of the best made gear out there. To be honest, I say that without ever really having tried other stuff, but since I've worn it, felt no need to even try other stuff. My old Vision T5500 catcher is still one of my most prized possessions.

Oh wow, sweeter words were never spoken!! Thank you, but for all your praise, please remember that you will always be THE Captain! Fearless, brilliant, and charming, I've never seen you back down from any challenge, whether it's Mother Nature's anger or racing an Audi at CPS. I've always aspired to be so brave! Your liver is one of the wonders of the world. How are you still capable of valid, intelligent arguments long after I lose the ability to speak English?
I don't know when Lloyd and I can come to God's country, but we need another reunion soon!!!
