Hi All- I'm pre-planning a basement tiki lounge/bar area and could use some help.. I'm thinking of calling it "Capt'n Skully's Lost Resort" but would like to see what the translation would be in Hawaiian. So I'm looking for an equivalent of "Lost Resort"- Could be loose even like "Forgotten Land or island" or something.. Open to suggestions as well. Mahalo! |

According to an online translator I found (for whatever it's worth), lost = lilo I don't know if one places the adjective before the noun, as in English, or after, as in Spanish. But therefore it could be either Lilo Moku or Moku Lilo |

Pretty sure with most Polynesian place names it's noun/adjective, at least here it is. |
