I'm doing some "art" type stuff and wanted to use the Hawaiian word for "alcoholic". I looked it up and got 'ona lama, 'ona mau. What is the difference between the two? The image is of a shrunken head with a fez and crossbones,zombie "mug", floating olive, circling flies. It's just a small little object I'm painting on, but I wanted to add the lettering. Or...if ya'll have another word that might be better suited?
Thanks for any help,
Dan
