  • A small, straight-billed, warbler-like passerine endemic to Oahu. The last well-documented observation of this bird was in 1985; recent searches specifically for the species have failed to find any. It may have been driven extinct by disease spread by introduced mosquitoes, but it is presently considered critically endangered and has not yet been presumed extinct.

  • I'm convinced the Hawaiian language only exists to confound non-natives. The islanders themselves probably speak regular English when we're not looking. With a Brooklyn accent.

  • They sure do love their vowels, that's for sure. Mollusque, you could have a field day with some of these. :-)
