<<    1. forest: /falele/ or /telitiumi/ (the first derived from the word
"green", second is "tree + group", and is more like "woods") [extant]

   2. mushroom (edible) /tova/ [extant]

   3. to look for something /fa?a/ [extant]

   4. To find something after searching for it /neva?a/ [extant] (so someone
else though this pair up too, eh?  I  have a little nonproductive prefix
which means "to complete x successfully")

   5. base, bottom /e?i/ (derived from word for "foot") [extant]

   6. moss /majali/ (most common word; there are other more specific words)

   7. basket, bag /ikeme/ (object prefix + "to gather")

   8. pine needles, leaves of a conifer (Do these exist in Hawaii?)

   9. each /ape/ (word for one.  When used postpositively in the adjective
position, it means "each")

   10. always /ipuke/ (object prefix + "to finish"--idiomatic) [extant]
