David Kalākaua was elected by the legislature to assume the throne of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i upon the death of William Charles Lunalilo.

Lunalilo was the more popular of the two, partially because he was a higher-ranking chief than Kalākaua and was the immediate cousin of the deceased Kamehameha V. Lunalilo was also the more liberal of the two--he promised to amend the constitution to give the people a greater voice in the government.

This exercise demonstrates one of the methods used in linguistics, in this case to examine the problem of the pronunciation of the "w" in the name "Hawaii." Much of what is said about that "w" in popular discussions is not consistent with local usage and the pronunciation of local Hawaiian place names like "Wahiawâ".
But, truly, there is no other language in the world more suited to a syllabary than Hawaiian (followed closely by other Polynesian languages), so there may as well be one, useful or not, produced by a moment's diversion.

A characteristic of Wahine tunings is the open major 7th note that is hammered on to produce the tonic (here, the C note) and produces a resonant open (V) chord G. Some say these tunings are referred to as 'Wahine' because of their sweet flavor.
The melody is attributed to Lizzie Alohikea, one of the best-known singers with the Royal Hawaiian Band in the early 20th century and wife of the noted Kaua'i composer, Alfred Unauna Alohikea.
Played solo in a C Wahine tuning on the nylon string, the ghostlike overtones of the dream guitar are very apparent.
