Ka Lei `Ahinahina
Noho ana `o `āhinahina kūpaianaha i ke po`o o ka `ohu!
Wreathed in mist, the extraordinary Silverswords dwell with the summit clouds!
Ka Lei `Ahinahina
The Silversword chooses to live in the Wao Akua. This region is where the gods dwell and is near the summit of our tallest mountains. On Hawai`i island, the `ahinahina is a close relative to its cousin on Maui isle. “Lei `ahinahina” is a metaphor that there is nothing greater, as no other plants grow closer to the heavens. This is compliment given often to a wise person who has accomplished much in their lives.
