Also: hanini, nini, ninini, loku, ho'oloku, 'iliki (as rain); — forth, hua'i, ukuhi; — down, as the sun, hawewe; ki'aha'aha (out of a cup); manini. To pour out water, kau wai. Evil words poured out, poured back and forth, manini aku a manini mai na 'olelo'ino (see manini). Sounds like Ki'aha'aha would be closest in match to your other Pour bar, but I have to say I kinda like Ninini. :) Congratulations and best of luck!
