I hope I passed the test today....There was a "Test" post to Getty ArtsEdNet
today....so I am having fun with that.
Hello in Hawaii! I got your message - but didn't down load it so can not
reply personally today. I didn't reply to Sara's Test to the list and I wish
I had (smile Sara).

Aloha
[Alo = presence, front, face] + [hâ = breath]
"The presence of (Divine) Breath."

Mahalo
[Ma = In] + [hâ = breath] + [alo = presence, front, face]
"(May you be) in (Divine) Breath."

Think of them as single-word blessings or prayers.

Aloha. 1. Aloha, love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, pity,
kindness, sentiment, grace, charity; greeting, salutation, regards;
sweetheart, lover, lover, loved one; beloved, loving, kind, compassionate,
charitable, lovable; to love, be fond of; to show kindness, mercy, pity,
charity, affection; to venerate; to remember with affection; to greet, to
hail. Greetings! Hello! Good-by! Farewell! Alas!

Mahalo. 1. Thanks, gratitude; to thank.

Do you have any more Hawaii "quotes" we can use from time to time?
