No, not the Frank Zappa album ‘n’ song.
The “Magnum” tread got me to thinkin’
When did people start puttin’ apostrophes in Hawaiian names (O’ahu, Hawai’i, etc.) I noticed this on the commer’xls durin’ Ironman last year and the year befo’.
Give a haole bruddah a break!!!
From Hawaii-Post.com
“You will notice throughout this website that the word " Hawai’i” has what looks like an apostrophe between the last 2 letters. This is the correct spelling in the Hawaiian language. The apostrophe is actually called a “glottal stop”. The glottal stop is used as a pause and also to differentiate words. For example, Lana’i is the name of a Hawaiian island. Lanai (without a glottal stop) means a balcony."
I was born there and lived there on and off through the years. The apostrophes have been around as long as I can remember (uh, which is only about 25 years)
