nananana = spider in Hawaiian
It is the most “repetitive” word I have ever seen in my whole puff.
Words like that in the Hawaiian language are possible because:
1) It has just 5 vowels (aeiou) and 8 consonants (hklmnpw’)
2) There’s no consonant clusters and after every consonant a vowel has to follow
The scarcity of letters/sounds leads to really intetesting results when foreign words are borrowed into Hawaiian and they are Hawaiianaised:
Palakila = Brazil
Kipalaleka = Gibraltar
Kalikimaka = Christmas
kamepiula = computer
Lopaka = Robert
