A CELEBRATION OF CRAFTSMANSHIP
HOULU COLLECTION
Palaka:
n. In the 19th century, a coarse work shirt worn by males, known then in
English as a “frock”, mentioned frequently in the literature and
especially in Peter Kaʻeo's letters in 1873–4 to his cousin, Queen Emma
(Korn 1976, pp. 14–38), and hence probably from English “frock” rather
than from “block”.
