HOO-HA-PAI

Haw to Eng, Andrews (1865),

v. See HAPAI, to lift or raise up. To conceive, as a female; parallel with hoohanau. Nah. 11:12. NOTE.—Hoohanau and hoohapai are both factitious words and of modern date, and are not after Hawaiian idiom, as the Hawaiian has no words properly signifying to conceive as a mother, or to beget as a father; at least no such words have yet been discovered.
