What does moʻo mean in Hawaiian?
Moʻo is a lizard, and specifically the supernatural water-guardian of Hawaiian tradition — large, dark, associated with fishponds and pools. The same word means a succession or line, so a moʻokūʻauhau is a genealogy and a moʻolelo is a story: things that follow one after another like the segments of a lizard's back.
Say it MOH-oh. Every vowel is pronounced, and the capitalized syllable takes the stress. The ʻokina (ʻ) is a short catch in the voice, like the break in “uh-oh”. The pronunciation guide covers the rules.
