Question about this sentence - He pōhaku pele kēlā. He pele. As we can see, the translation says: That is a lava rock. A lava rock. At the end of this sentence, it says: ( he pele). If (he pele) means lava rock, then where is the (pōhaku) in that phrase? Why doesn't it say He pōhaku pele at the end instead of He pele?

It is inferred. Pele means lava, so when you say "he pele", it is inferred that you mean "a lava rock", instead of "a lava". It's like saying it's an arara, rather than saying , it's an arara bird.

Question about E kuhikuhi kakou i ka pikake. If that sentence translates to Let's point to the pīkake lei, then why doesn't it say E kuhikuhi kakou i ka (lei pīkake) instead of E kuhikuhi kakou i ka (pīkake)?

ik I'm very late, but in hula and mele, there's usually a tribute or dedication to someone (be it a god demigod or ali'i) so he wasn't trying to say "Kalakaua is his name" he was saying "in the name of Kalakaua", dedicating the song and hula to Kalakaua.

Question about Kuhikuhi kākou i ke kala. Let's point to (the crayons). As we can see, the word crayon in this sentence has an S at the end. So it's talking about more than one crayon. So Why doesn't this sentence say (nā kala) instead of (ke kala)?
