Kāmano. Canned salmon, kāmano kini. Salted salmon, kāmano paʻakai. Mashed salmon, kāmano lomi. Sea salmon, kamanu. Salmon buttocks, ʻōkole kāmano, ʻamo kāmano [both names mock the skin of white people]; ʻamo, anal opening [jokingly replaces ʻōkole because amo occurs in the name Keamolewa, Klamath, Oregon, where Hawaiians went for salmon fishing].
