Kahuna

**Kahuna** in cultura Havaiana est homo doctrinae peritus, Anglice "priest, sorcerer, magician, wizard, minister, expert in any profession" significans (Pukui & Elbert 1986). Liber *Tales from the Night Rainbow* quadraginta kahunae genera nominat, quorum plus viginti medicinam popularem faciunt; exempli gratia ''kahuna la'au lapa'au,* qui medicinam herbarum facit, et *kahuna haha,* qui morbos agnoscit. 

## Verbi usus extra Havaios
Vocabuli usus extra Havaios ortus est in cultura lapsus in pellicula *Gidget* (1959) visa, in quo "Big Kahuna" (Magnus Kahuna), persona ab Cliff Robertson acta, gregem quorum labuntur ducit. Terminus tunc adhibitus est in pelliculis de conviviis litoris, sicut *Beach Blanket Bingo,'' in qua "Big Kahuna" est qui optime labatur. Terminus postremo generali lapsus culturae receptus est. Duke Kahanamoku, Havaianus lapsus peritissimus, aliquando Big Kahuna ('magnus kahuna') appellatus est, sed ipse terminum repudiavit quoniam verae verbi significationis compertum habuit (Hall 2004).
