Best Answer

The ancient Hawaiian "hale", pronounced hah-leh, was a simple structure consisting of a wood frame held together by coconut fiber lashings and covered in "pili" grass, pronounced pee-lee, which was tied to each wooden cross-member to protect against the weather. The foundation of a "hale" was a short platform made entirely of rocks with its top layer being the smoothest stones that could be found. Woven "hala" mats, pronounced hah-lah, were placed throughout the inside of the "hale" as cushioned flooring. The structure was simple, but it served it's inhabitants well.
