A Gathering of Wharrams

Hui Wharram -- Hawaiian name.  In long form “Hui-o-waa-Kaulua-Wharram”.  “Hui” means a group or gathering united for a common purpose (further: “o” means of, “waa” means canoe and is pronounced va-a with both a's short, “Kaulua” means two hull (Kau=hull and lua= two)).  So, it literally means a gathering of two-hull Wharram canoes.  In the short form "Hui Wharram " – a group or gathering of Wharrams.

We will hold our Saturday evening Dutch-treat dinner party at the Lorelei.
