(noun) Ke kumu o kahi bila manu kahi i hui pū ai ke mandible a me maxilla. ʻO kahi kahi e pili ai nā pili kālā e kapaʻiaʻo ia ke'āpana o ka male,ʻoiai e nānāʻia ka piha o ka waha i ke kaula. I nā manu'ōpiopio, he mau keʻokeʻo ke kāpili e hoʻohuli i ka manaʻo o nā mākua i mea e hoʻoikaika ai i ka hānaiʻana -ʻo kaʻulaʻula, kaʻulaʻula, ke melemele a me kaʻalani,ʻo ia ka lawaiʻa maʻamau. ʻO kekahi o nā manu hoʻi he mau kiko aiʻole he hoailona paha i loko o ke kaula, e like me ke kaula iʻikeʻia o ka'opi zebra a iʻole nāʻupena a me nā pale i loko o nāʻokoʻa o nāʻano mannikin.
ʻO nā'anuʻolu a me nā hiʻona'āpana e kōkua i kaʻikeʻana o ke kaula i nā mālamalama liʻiliʻi, e like me ka hale manu a i ka wā e hoʻonaniʻia ai kekahi pūnana.
Hiki ke pale i ka manu a me kaʻulaʻula i nā manu he nui, kahi mea maikaʻi ma hope o ka haʻaleleʻana o nā'ōpiopio i ka punana, akā e hilinaʻi mau ana i nā mākua no ka mālamaʻana. ʻO ka haʻahaʻa, e hoʻohuliʻia keʻili a me ka nānāʻole i kaʻikeʻole e like me nā wā o nā manu. Ma kekahi mau manu manu makua, akā, e hiki ke wehe ke kaʻaʻana a hoʻohanaʻia ma keʻano he māina kahua kūpono, e like me ka laʻi māhina o ka maia.
(verb)ʻO ka weheʻana i ka waha e like me ke noiʻana, ka noi noi. Hōʻike kēia i nā kala o ka ma loko o ka waha i mea maikaʻi aʻe a loaʻa i ka nānā. Hiki i nā'ōpiopio'ōpiopio ke hīkākā i ka manawa e hoʻoulu ai i kahi hanana i kahi kokoke, e like me ka hoʻoukaʻana i ka pūnana e hiki ke kuhikuhi i kahi manu makua i pae i kahi kokoke, kokoke paha i ka meaʻai.
Ma keʻano o ke kino o nā'ōpiopio, eʻike lākou i ka manawa kūpono e hiki ai ke hānaiʻana, e like me nā manu makua kāne e kokoke mai nei, inā pahaʻaʻole pahaʻo ia manu.
E aʻo hou i nā'āpana pilikino .
