This has to be a Hawaiian term. I have a lot of Pacific Islander students..... no clue what it means, though.
I know "haole" means non- native-Hawaiian. Often used for white mainland tourists!
Ahole: An endemic fish found in both fresh and salt water. The mature stage is ahole, the young stage aholehole. Because of the meaning of "hole," to strip away, this fish was used for magic, as to chase away evil spirits and for love magic. It was also called a “sea pig” and used ceremonially as a substitute for pig.
And Cara... you are on the right track.... Foreigners were sometimes called ahole because of the light skin of the fish.
I don't know if this is a true picture but they sure are pretty!

Looks like.... well, beyond that... a misspelling of aloha. I am going with an informal greeting.
So it isnt Kuhlia marginata?
Hmmm... there was a paragraph break in there!
Tracy isn't this your Ex's middle name??????
Well yes, Sandy, but Daisy said it wasn't the obvious answer.
LOL You gals are funny!!!!
