And it's not pronounced "hiney" (like shiny) as in your 'okole (bum). It's like the -kini in "bikini." Had I known more Hawaiian when I came up with the name (actually for a Don Ho cover band in 2000-ish), I might have spelled it Formikahine, as in wahine. But the -hini like bikini is more sonorous to me. But some of you, I have been told, pronounce it like a hiney, and that's ok. As long as you're a cute kane. :wink: [ Edited by: Formikahini 2006-04-20 11:32 ]
