This link: [ref name="The Hawaiin Drum: Pahu">Kalei, Kalikiano. "Pahu Niu: The Hawaiin Drum". Authorsden.com. Retrieved 17 September 2012.</ref] was generating a blacklisted error on the page so I removed it.Jihadcola (talk) 19:40, 18 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I square-bracketed the link so it would stop showing up at the bottom of the page. Heavenlyblue (talk) 01:42, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Niu

[edit]

It is not clear why the term "niu" (meaning "coconut") is mentioned in this article as there is no apparent connection between "niu" and "pahu." 173.89.236.187 (talk) 20:59, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose, the preference for coconut wood. Heavenlyblue (talk) 00:24, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The pahu was a large oblong piece of wood

[edit]

From the page : "Standard features included a community well for long term supply of water, designated waste areas, an outpost or an elevated stage on a summit on which a pahu would be slung on a frame that when struck would alarm the residents of an attack. The pahu was a large oblong piece of wood with a groove in the middle. A heavy piece of wood was struck from side to side of the groove to sound the alarm." This special-purpose, all-wood type of pahu should be added here. Does anyone have further knowledge of this? Heavenlyblue (talk) 00:30, 13 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
