You must remember that Hawaii has its own language separate from English, and some things are different. The punctuation mark used in the Hawai'ian language (just used it) is not the English apostrophe. Properly known as a glottal stop, it is used when you have paired vowels, to indicate a full pronunciation of each letter. Used formal communication, it is a key to properly speaking some Hawaiian words- so you know that it is not ha-wahi, but ha-wah-i.
