| 13. Which of the following letters does not exist in the the traditional Hawaiian alphabet? | | A. H | B. M
| C. N | D. T
| Jane has no idea. And $93,000 is a lot to lose on one question, so she will bow out.
The answer was D. T. LOOGAROO LAMENTS: Shucks. I would've been a quarter-millionaire. I know that one of the traditional fish of the Hawaiian islands is the humuhumunukunukuapua'a (yes, that is the name of the fish), which contains H's, M's, and N's. T also seemed like too percussive a letter to be in a Pacific language. Oh well. Congrats go to Jane - a swart woman and a lively contestant. | ||||
