menehune

• But the mighty menehune chips it nicely on the green.
• He ended up winning the Open Boys title with a 17.50 score and the Explorer menehune with 16.75.
• There were no tramps in Hawaii, so the menehune must have eaten it. —  Myths & Legends of our New Possessions & Protectorate
• Pi, a Kauai farmer, wanted a ditch to carry water from the Waimea River for the refreshment of his land near Kikiloa, and, having marked the route, he ordered the menehune, as they call the little people, to do the work. —  Myths & Legends of our New Possessions & Protectorate
• The hum and bustle of the work were heard all night, and so pleased was the farmer, when morning came and the ditch was built, that he set a feast for the menehune on the next night, and it was gone at daybreak. —  Myths & Legends of our New Possessions & Protectorate
