Name meaning
I just typed 'HAU' in2 wikipedia and aparently the word hau is also the name of a Polynesian god of wind. Does anyone think this is worth being on the main article?
 * Lego borrowed from Polynesian and Maori words a lot, and ended up getting sued for it, if you weren't aware. A lot of words made in 2001 that are still commonplace today were borrowed from Polynesian or Maori language. For example, "Turaga" is the word for a chief in Fiji, and a Turaga-ni-koro is a "Chief of the Village", "koro" meaning "village". Sound familiar?


 * As for putting it on the page, I would say that since a Hau isn't really related to a god of wind, it's not worth a mention since it may have been a coincidence. Since a Turaga is a chief and Koro does mean village, it would be worth mentioning on those pages, however. ToaAuserv ? ...BPAdmin 15:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I knew that lego used words from other languages but i thought that was just Maori. I would thank you, but for some reason the spam filter will not let me type 'Thank you' (plural) in. This is the 3rd time i've rewriten what i am saying due to the spam filter so i am sorry 4 V the delayed reply. Also, there is a word in the Bahasa Melayu language that is similar 2 its bionicle meaning. I will put it in the mata nui talkpage as it is not assosiated with the Hau.
