Ka Wehewehe ʻAna: Explanation
Pau Pele, Pau Manō [ʻŌlelo Noʻeau #2617]

The literal translation of this ʻōlelo noʻeau is "Devoured by Pele (lava), Devoured by a shark." This phrase is an oath ma ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi. Much like the modern day "cross my heart, hope to die" oath, it was believed that the one who utters this oath and did not keep their vow would indeed meet an end by Pele or by manō.

Up your tank (and ʻōlelo!) game with this wāhine flowy tank top from our Kauwela 2021 collection. This online exclusive style features a relaxed fit with a cut out v-neck detail and raw edge sleeves. Made in super soft poly-viscose material, this is one tank you won't want to take off.

Front Pocket: "pau pele, pau manō"
