Verification

Unable to verify following as factual from this linked article[1]:

• Ohana is also the name of one of the biggest guilds in Maplestory.
  RJBurkhart 03:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  

I think that the band article should be referred to with a disambiguation instead of also on this page. Kukini 02:05, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Contradiction?

How do these two statements in the article reconcile? (emphasis added)

• Part of Hawaiian culture, ʻohana means family in an extended sense of the term, including blood-related, adoptive or intentional.
• In current Hawaiian culture the term ʻohana is strictly used for blood relations. Non-familial groupings always instead use the word "hui".

The problem may come from the apparent strong disagreements in modern Hawaiian culture over the meanings and values of the word. See the Whitney article mentioned under References. An excerpt:

• In old Ka'u, 'ohana meant blood relations, only. But outside of that Big Island district, it came later to mean something else entirely. Silva remembers her own childhood in rural Windward O'ahu. "Anyone who lived close by was almost automatically Incorporated into family. Neighbors were auntie or uncle or cousin, even when there was no blood relation. It seemed like the mere fact of proximity was enough to create family."

Ohana → ʻOhana – In Hawaiʻian, the word starts with an ʻokina. For other articles (including ʻokina), we include the ʻokina in the article title. OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 22:25, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

• It might be enough to mention the Hawaiian orthography in the introduction like is done on Hawaii, Lanai, and some others. I believe the anglicized spelling is more accessible, but I won't object to the move. – Þjarkur (talk) 22:54, 21 March 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose. It doesn't matter how the word is spelled in Hawaiian. Per WP:UE we should use the English spelling, which is "ohana" in all the sources. Station1 (talk) 06:05, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
• Oppose move. This word is unusual among Hawaiian words, as it's typically spelled without the ʻokina in English. ONR (talk) 15:26, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
• Support, why not? per McDougall, and Lonely Planet (though in a name), etc. cannot see any reason why we wouldn't follow normal Hawaiian spelling for this term when we do the others. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:05, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
