ʻO keʻano o ke "'ō'ō"ʻana i ka pepeiao, he hōʻailona maʻamau loa ia a he mea maʻalahi ia i nā mea a pau. ʻO iaʻano hōʻailona paha he mea hoʻokahi, kū hope no kekahi manawa pōkole a alaʻi i kekahi manawa, a hiki pū kekahi me kaʻeha i ka pepeiao a me nā hōʻikeʻano'ē aʻe. E aʻo kākou i ke kumu e hūnā ai i kēia kumu.
No ke aha he manawa "wana" i loko o ka pepeiao me ka loaʻaʻole o kaʻeha?
