poʻaʻaha

Haw to Eng, Kent (1986),

Small tree (Broussonetia papyrifera), well known for its usefulness. Bark was turned into a durable paper which could serve as cloth, leather, or paper depending on the process of preparation. Kapa made from it was valued for bed clothes and clothing of all sorts. Poʻaʻaha is also called wauke, which as a source of fiber for kapa was much preferred for its warm, flexible, and water-resistant qualities. (NEAL 301.) Wauke, as another name for poʻaʻaha, is actually better known.
