In Hawaiian language it's a masculine word derived from two words Ka and Huna: kahuna Type: noun; expert in any profession (doctors, surgeons, dentists were referred to as such in the 1845 laws) priest, sorcerer, magician, minister, wizard Shaun Thomas Villafana Kah ~ Hoo ~ Nah { noun masculine } Ka - Huna "Ka" - meaning "The", and "Huna" - meaning "Secret". When used in the form as a single word as a noun it refers to a person (generally strictly male in Hawaiian culture) being the "Keeper" or "Guardian" of the "Secret". The Hawaiian dance "Hula" is a form of symbolically passing down the wisdom of the ancient Hawaiian religion during a time when the old ways were outlawed, first during Samoan/Tongan dominance at times in historic war, and then lastly under British Dominance where Hawaiian religion was outright punishable by death. The "Kahuna" were coined that name as they kept the secret of their religion safe, not to be specifically kept away from others except for the fact it was not allowed to be open with. |

kehunnah: priesthood Original Word: כְּהֻנָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: kehunnah Phonetic Spelling: (keh-hoon-naw') Definition: priesthood NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origin from the same as kohen Definition priesthood NASB Translation priest's offices (1), priesthood (13). https://biblehub.com/hebrew/3550.htm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Meaning and etymology The noun kohen is used in the Torah to refer to priests, whether Jewish or pagan, such as the kohanim ("priests") of Baal (2 Kings 10:19) or Dagon, though Christian priests are referred to in Hebrew by the term komer (כומר). Kohanim can also refer to the Jewish nation as a whole, as in Exodus 19:6, part of the Parshath Yithro, where the whole of Israel is addressed as "a kingdom of priests and a holy nation". The word kohen originally derives from a Semitic root common at least to the Central Semitic languages; In the ancient polytheistic religion of Phoenicia, the word for “priest“ was khn (𐤊𐤄𐤍). The cognate Arabic word كاهن kāhin means “priest“, or "soothsayer, augur". Translations in the paraphrase of the Aramaic Targumic interpretations include "friend" in Targum Yonathan to 2 Kings 10:11, "master" in Targum to Amos 7:10, and "minister" in Mechilta to Parshah Jethro (Exodus 18:1–20:23). As a starkly different translation the title "worker" (Rashi on Exodus 29:30) and "servant" (Targum to Jeremiah 48:7), have been offered as a translation as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kohen -->skip to: Cohen (and its variations) as a surname Main article: Cohen (surname) This section does not cite any sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (March 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The status of kohen in Judaism has no necessary relationship to a person's surname. Though it is true that descendants of kohanim often bear surnames that reflect their genealogy, there are many families with the surname Cohen (or any number of variations) who are not kohanim nor even Jewish. Conversely, there are many kohanim who do not have Cohen as a surname. There are numerous variations to the spelling of the surname Cohen.

Orthography Main article: Hawaiian alphabet Hawaiians had no written language prior to Western contact, except for petroglyph symbols. The modern Hawaiian alphabet, ka pīʻāpā Hawaiʻi, is based on the Latin script. Hawaiian words end only in vowels, and every consonant must be followed by a vowel. The Hawaiian alphabetical order has all of the vowels before the consonants as in the following chart. Aa Ee Ii Oo Uu Hh Kk Ll Mm Nn Pp Ww ʻ /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/ /h/ /k~t/ /l/ /m/ /n/ /p/ /v~w/ /ʔ/ Origin This writing system was developed by American Protestant missionaries during 1820–1826.[60] It was the first thing they ever printed in Hawaiʻi, on January 7, 1822, and it originally included the consonants B, D, R, T, and V, in addition to the current ones (H, K, L, M, N, P, W), and it had F, G, S, Y and Z for "spelling foreign words". The initial printing also showed the five vowel letters (A, E, I, O, U) and seven of the short diphthongs (AE, AI, AO, AU, EI, EU, OU).[61] In 1826, the developers voted to eliminate some of the letters which represented functionally redundant allophones (called "interchangeable letters"), enabling the Hawaiian alphabet to approach the ideal state of one-symbol-one-phoneme, and thereby optimizing the ease with which people could teach and learn the reading and writing of Hawaiian.[62] For example, instead of spelling one and the same word as pule, bule, pure, and bure (because of interchangeable p/b and l/r), the word is spelled only as pule. Interchangeable B/P. B was dropped, P was kept. Interchangeable L/R. R and D were dropped, L was kept. Interchangeable K/T. T was dropped, K was kept. Interchangeable V/W. V was dropped, W was kept. However, hundreds of words were very rapidly borrowed into Hawaiian from English, Greek, HEBREW, Latin, and Syriac. Although these loan words were necessarily Hawaiianized, they often retained some of their "non-Hawaiian letters" in their published forms. For example, Brazil fully Hawaiianized is Palakila, but retaining "foreign letters" it is Barazila. Another example is Gibraltar, written as Kipalaleka or Gibaraleta. While [z] and [ɡ] are not regarded as Hawaiian sounds, [b], [ɹ], and [t] were represented in the original alphabet, so the letters (b, r, and t) for the latter are not truly "non-Hawaiian" or "foreign", even though their post-1826 use in published matter generally marked words of foreign origin. |
