...Hawaiian word, the only way you're going to get it right is if you had studied the patterns of the language itself. Hawaiian is an amazing language because it has very few sounds and the spelling is pretty systematic. So if you get a word like "humuhumunukunukuapuaa," you can spell it, even though nobody else can. It's the same way with German words. To us, they sound pretty hard, but to a German, words are spelled like they sound. There couldn't be a spelling bee in German, or Japanese, or French, or any other language...
