How do you say owl in hawaiian?

There isn't a direct, commonly used Hawaiian word for "owl."

Here's why:

* Cultural Significance: Owls aren't as prevalent in Hawaiian culture as other birds, so there isn't a strong need for a specific name.

* Borrowed Words: If you need to refer to an owl, you could use the English word "owl" or perhaps a descriptive phrase like "manu hulu pō" (meaning "feather bird of the night").

Interesting Note: The Hawaiian word for "eagle" is "ʻaeʻae," which is sometimes used to describe a large, powerful bird. However, it wouldn't be considered an accurate translation of "owl."
