Quentin Kawānanakoa’s great-great-granduncle, Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalanianaʻole, also served as an elected representative of Hawaiʻi to the US Congress, making him the only person elected to US Congress to have been born a royal. Prince Kūhiō, like his brother David Kawānanakoa, were both considered eligible heirs to the throne at the time of the overthrow.

    Polynesian words having the form of consonant-(short)vowel-consonant-(short)vowel are stressed on the penult. So the sounds of MEHA in isolation are méha. Reduplication makes that méheméha. KA, which begins many of these names, is simply a determiner (article), roughly equivalent to English "the," and it takes no stress. So Kámehámehá isn't so good, and Kaméhaméha is better. Incidentally, mehameha means 'silent, solitary, lonely; silence, solitariness, loneliness', apparently making his name mean something like 'The Silence', 'The Solitary One', and so forth. Most Polynesian names have semantic meaning like that.

    • @timvanrijn8239
      @timvanrijn8239 4 роки тому +2

      doesnt Kaméhaméha get that name from the fact he was kind scary to his ''king'' making him heir to the postion of the war gods keeper and isolating him from the court?

    • @despaahana
      @despaahana 4 роки тому +8

      You are correct on the pronunciation. All Hawaiian names have semantic meaning. Kamehameha is usually translated as "the lonely one"
      I don't know if he was named the lonely one because he was the guardian of the war-god Kū or not.

      MT Aloha. My point was directed at those who criticized him for his pronunciation of some of the Hawaiian names. My comments referred to a correlation that those born/raised in Hawaii and/or those who ‘ōlelo Hawai’i are likely better able to pronounce Hawaiian words properly; my comments weren’t directed at UsefulCharts or at those who assist in the producing of his videos. A few comments were made by others that one mispronounced syllable in neary any Hawaiian word changes the meaning entirely, so what I wrote was meant to be informational. Hiki iā ‘oe ke maopopo?

    Aloha. I found this video from my cousin Maria below. I did not know about this video until just now from a link she shared on Facebook.
    I am a direct descendant of Keākealanikāne, the grandfather of Keākealaniwahine. The biggest problem I see with this chart is not showing Kalanikauleleiaiwi as a co-ruler alongside her brother Keaweʻīkekahialiʻiokamoku. Calling him Keawea II is perhaps accurate but not many know this designation.
    I am also listed as an 8th great grandson of Kamehameha I from his first marriage and first born, a daughter named Kahiliʻōpua on my grandmother's maternal line but on her paternal line she descended from the former wife of Kalaniʻōpuʻu, Kānekapōlei. She along with the half brother of my 5x great grandmother and a distant cousin named Nuaa, were responsible for the death of Captain Cook. Kamehameha I's father is still hotly debated. Some believe it is Keōua while others believe it was Kahekili II. His mother was Kekuʻiapoiwa II, the daughter of Haʻae-a-Mahi of the House of Mahi. He was the son of Kauaua-a-Mahi (one of my direct ancestors) and Kalanikauleleiaiwi making Kekuʻiapoiwa II a second cousin, 4 x removed.
    Hawaiian genealogy is not easy and it is never a good idea to use absolutes when discussing these lines, especially with certain figures. Many families still debate who is related to who and why. But that is the same even in England with the British Monarchy.
    I'll have to watch more a length and perhaps comment further.

    As a kanaka I totally appreciate your efforts to properly pronounce my papa olelo (mother language). A few tips.
    1)When you see an ʻ called “okina”. It denotes a glottal stop in the pronunciation. Ex: Ahupua’a, pronounced (ahhoopoo-ah). Note the pause.
    2) “Hina” is the name of a matron goddess and thus denotes femininity. Kamehameha I wife, Ka’ahumanu made herself Kuhina queen regent and head of the Hawaiian church after the great kings death. She abolished our kapu and replaced it with christianity.

      Tag Along to Our Past - the “h” should indeed be pronounced. I’m afraid there’s a lot of people who mispronounce it these days, including many here in Hawaiʻi. The emphasis here is a bit on the wrong syllables - it should be more like Ka-ME-ha-ME-ha rather than KA-me-HA-me-HA, but the “h” should still be pronounced.
      Hawaiian spelling is highly consistent with the phonetics, unlike English. The general rule is to break down each syllable by one letter or a pair of letters (glottal stop included as a letter) and that each syllable ends with a vowel. Vowel sounds generally are like Spanish vowels. And that’s pretty much all you need to know for correct pronunciation.

And you’re right that there is some slight dialectical vowel phonetic variation - particularly between [a] and [e] when before [i].

      @@kpaukeaho6180 Obviously, there are no audio recordings of spoken Hawaiian from 200 years ago, so nobody can say with certainty, now, exactly how Hawaiian was pronounced during the 1820s. Folks can make educated guesses, but that's ultimately speculation. Likewise for spoken English during 100 A.D. to the 1820s. That said, your characterization of Hawaiian pronunciation looks like it's based on a partial understanding of Elbert, Wilson, and Schutz. In spoken Hawaiian of the past 50 years or so, [ w ] and [ v ] have been essentially in free variation, with no rigidly applicable geographical dialects. Niihauans are known for using [ t ] more often than other Hawaiian speakers, but any speaker of Hawaiian can pronounce / K / as either [ k ] or [ t ] virtually anytime they like, without being misunderstood. Raising of / A / to [ e ] before / I /, and to [ o ] before / U / is a phonological process which is not particularly associated with any geographical dialect.
      Comparing Hawaiian spelling to English spelling is comparing apples to oranges. HAW spellings are only about 200 years old, while some ENG spellings are nearly 2,000 years old. When ENG was first spelled using the Roman alphabet, the Romans spelled ENG as they heard it at the time, using the (Roman) letters as best as they could to represent the ENG sounds.
      Take the word GOOD. It had a long vowel / O /. That's why it was spelled with 2 "O" letters. It could be alternatively written GŌD. By contrast, take the word GOD. It had a short vowel / O /, so it was spelled with 1 "O" letter. In Old English, GOD and GŌD were a minimal pair. The only difference in sound was the length of the vowel. Some folks think HAW is "special" because it has long vowels. But many other languages have that too, so it's nothing special. Even Old English had some long vowels.
      However, languages change over time. ENG went through a pronunciation change known as the Great Vowel Shift. The word GOD shifted to sound like [ gad ]. The word GOOD shifted to sound like [ gUd ] (with "U" representing the vowel sound in current ENG pronunciation of HOOD, COOK, COULD, WOOD, WOULD, SHOULD). Although the pronunciations changed, the spellings did NOT change.
      So, GOD and GOOD started off as being phonemic spellings. But after 1,500 to 2,000 years worth of time for shifts in pronunciation, the current sound of these words does not match up perfectly to their ancient spellings, because the vowel sounds have shifted. The ancient consonant sounds remain in these words, but not the vowel sound.
      If HAW words had been written down 2,000 years ago, then they would not look the same as they do now, because HAW, like ENG (and virtually all natural human languages), has also undergone shifts in pronunciation over the centuries of time. Ever heard of Proto Polynesian? That's one of the ancestor languages (earlier forms) of HAW. Ever seen "PPN" forms in the Pukui-Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary? Those are the earlier forms (phonemic spellings) of HAW words.
      Take the HAW word KŌ. For "sugar cane" the PPN form is TORO. For "long" the PPN form is TOHO. For "fulfill" the PPN form is TOO. If these 3 words were written down way back during PPN times, their spellings would have been TORO, TOHO, and TOO. And now, as HAW words, they are all pronounced KŌ. People would say ---
      Hey WTF is going on with this language? Why is a word pronounced [ kō ] spelled TORO?

    Your pronunciation of most of the vowels are correct as the vowels make the same sound every time. Where you get it wrong is where the stresses are. Such as where dragon Ball z puts the stress on the ha in Kamehameha in Hawaiian the stress is on the me. There is also too much stress added on the i in the word kuhina.
    Also you're inconsistent on where the 'okina occurs and where it doesn't but it always exists wherever two of the same vowels are seen together, whether or not it is printed. In the case of Ka'ahumanu's name, the 'okina was printed but was not pronounced. It is pronounced as a glottal stop. So the two A's in Ka'ahumanu are separated buy a glottal stop, not one sound

    • @gregcarter8656

      Hawaiian has some words with consecutive identical vowels (aa, ee, ii, oo, uu). Thus, glottal stop does not always occur separating consecutive identical vowels. In fact, most long vowels in Hawaiian are essentially consecutive identical vowels. One could call them "double vowels" or "geminate vowels" (twin vowels). You can see some examples in the Pukui-Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary where both spellings are shown, such as uluulu and ulūlu.

      Look at the words "hana" (work), and "Hāna" (a place on Maui). Both words have only one stress, and yet their pronunciations are DIFFERENT from each other. Also, in your original post, you said that stress is on "me" in "Kamehameha". That's pololei, but there is NO KAHAKŌ on "me". In addition, you wrongly said that "the vowels make the same sound every time". Itʻs well documented that Hawaiian "ʻa" is often OPTIONALLY raised to "o" when the "a" is right before a "u". For example, look at "Ke-au-hou" in the book Place Names of Hawaii. The authors noted that itʻs usually pronounced "Ke-ou-hou" because of "au" being pronounced "ou". In fact, many words in Hawaiian exhibit variant pronunciations with A or O. Another example is "kolohe" and "kalohe", meaning "rascal". You will find both forms in the Hawaiian Dictionary by Pukui and Elbert. There are many other examples. Hawaiian also has some variation of the vowels I and U, as seen in the word forms "imu" and "umu", meaning "earth oven".

    This is like Egypt and other places. You can see the lightening of the family line as the Europeans enter. I find it funny that the people call themselves original inhabitants of the islands. King Kamehameha (1758) was a 7 foot tall great warrior who united the islands. Later, the trip to California was because Kalakua's health was had begun to fail. He started getting dreadfully sick after he was forced to sign a constitution at gunpoint by the European group of secret society men. and give up his monarchy. Keep in mind, this is after the Europeans brought small pox to Hawaii for at least the second time. They had succeeded in killing nearly all of the original Hawaiians and decided to import workers from Japan. That is when they brought in small pox. The Europeans formed a secret society to overthrow the monarchy, formed by Lauren Thurston. They were successful. By the way the missionaries had already seriously infiltrated the family line by taking the last kings sister. She married a European man who treated her terribly. The stealing of Hawaii is a horribly sad story, very much like the stealing of Australia, and Africa and so many other places.
