“Nalu” most commonly refers to the “waves” or surf of the moana, the ocean. It’s also a verb, showing the state of waves… Ke nalu nei ka moana, The ocean is full of waves.
“Nalu” carries more poetic, less obvious meanings, however. In keeping with the concept of water and liquid, nalu is the amniotic fluid that surrounds and protects an unborn child.
