Lava. In the Hawai'ian language, there are two words for lava, depending on what it looks like when it cools.

Pahoehoe is smooth; once it cools, you can easily walk on it. A'a is sharp and spiky; if you walk on it barefoot, you'll cut your feet to ribbons. Walking on a'a lava with boots will cut up the soles of your boots.
