good job bubba! i’m so glad you clean up the place you take from. i’m so proud of you. i love you
Three types ..black foot (actually green) , yellow foot and the “Ko’ele” - gets over 5 inches shell size..extremely low tides and underwater diving to get these..
Nice video mate, well done, I hope Easter was good to you all, Stay safe!
Just a little kōkua. In our ʻŌlelo Kanaka (native language,) there's no apostrophes. There's only an ʻOkina which is an alphabet, an actual letter, and is also a consonant in our alphabet system.
An example of the importance of the ʻokina can be seen in the following possessive pronouns where the ʻokina makes a complete difference in meaning: Kou (your,) koʻu (my.)
So Instead of saying ʻOpihi's, ʻOpihi will suffice and is proper. Placing Nā before ʻOpihi will then pluralize ʻOpihi. You can also use mau. E.g. Nā kao ʻelua (two goats.) Mau keiki elua, (two children.)
Another important marker that's used is the Kahakō.
The kahakō is not a letter, but a diacritical mark, a line over a vowel which tells the reader to pronounce that letter with a longer vowel sound. The word “kahakō” is sometimes shortened and refered to as a kō, especially while spelling out loud. Both the long and the short forms of the word include a kahakō in their spelling. Notice the difference of meaning for the three words below:
Pūpū - shell or an appetizer/hors dʻoeuvre.
Pupū - to stall or move slowly.
Pupu - a small, humble shelter.
The four types of ʻOpihi:
Makaiauli - Dark or black footed ʻopihi.
ʻĀlinalina - Yellow footed ʻopihi.
ʻOpihi ʻōmaʻo - Green footed ʻopihi.
Kōʻele - The largest of all.
Lastly, I'd like to leave you with this ancient proverb (wise saying) or "ʻŌlelo Noʻeau" that's used and respected as a constant reminder by many till this very day, to always be respectful and careful when gathering at sea. To remember to give back and not only take:
"iʻa make ka ʻopihi "
Translates to:
“The ʻopihi is a fish of death,” referring to the hazards faced by collectors. It is the dangerous locations and conditions where ʻopihi are found that makes it a very high-risk and dangerous thing to do. Not only this, it's also the collectors themselves who put themselves in harms way which sometimes involves other people who try to rescue them.
Many drownings has taken place for many decades.
Some people were very lucky to have been rescued and lived to see another day. Other's weren't as fortunate. They'd either be recovered or missing at sea, never to be found.
I commend you for doing your part with "Mālama i ke kai & mālama i ka ʻāina."
Superb job and always be safe.
Aloha,
Leimana
