HALAU it shall be

[Dustin Cross]

The first part "Ha" is pronounced like you are laughing "hahahaha".  The second 
part sounds like you stubbed your toe and said Ou with an "L" in front of it.  Does 
that make any sense?

halau -- A long house for canoes or hula instruction. Often used to refer to hula 
troupes. eg. A halau from Kauai took second place in the 1996 hula festival on the 
Big Island.

I guess it could be used to refer to a group of people who meet for something other 
than a hula group.
