Hawaiian Word of the Day: ho’oki

ho’ōki: To put an end to, terminate, conclude, annul, to finish, stop; end.

Proto-Polynesian: oti.

Stages of kapa-beating includes the final stage of ho’ōki, which requires using an i’e kuku ho’ōki with a watermark such as an ‘upena hālua niho mano, shark tooth with fishnet design.
