What I was taught so far is that in order to make a #Hawaiian verb passive, add the particle ʻia after it. I have not gotten to this point in the language study yet, but it is evident that sometimes (maybe always?) you can also just append “a” to the verb and it becomes a passive form. I have also not gotten to making imperatives yet, but apparently appending an a is the way (or one way). There are a lot of 4-letter words in Hawaiian that show up in #Hulihua in their passive/imperative form.

…and here’s “dizzy” number #27 — yesterday’s Hulihua puzzle solution. “Pihoa” isn’t listed when looking up “dizzy” … but when you look up “pihoa,” the definition consists of the single word “dizzy”
