The White-Striped Octopus (octopus ornatus) typically comes out at night and has conspicuous white markings on its body. It can readily camouflage itself by changing the color and texture of its skin.

Anyone? I've always thought we've borrowed the word, as bulu but I could be wrong. Some used to identify the color to epitomize LOJET/METO/MALO..as unokan wot meto. Please share if there is such a Marshallese term for Blue. Brown(monaknak), Green(Maroro), Orange(kio), Gray(Wupajaj) White(mouj), Black(kilmej)...so forth. I've often heard our alaps used "jil' for dark colored.

I grew up on Majuro and Ebeye and speak fluent Marshallese. We were the first students at Coop school and I spent my freshmen year at MHS. I flew for Aloha Airlines until they went under a year and a half ago. My favorite trips were to the Marshall Islands. The most memorable trip was flying a Springdale, Arkansas ...church group from Honolulu to Majuro. I made all my Passenger Addresses in Marsallese to show my pride and raise the spirits of the locals onboard. On this particular trip, the passengers starting singing the Marshall Islands national anthem when they spotted the islands from above. I heard the harmony through the cockpit door, which brought goose bumps and a lump at the bottom of my throat.Read More

After landing I met the passengers as they deplaned. Almost everyone was extremely emotional with joy and sadness. Even the flight attendants were in tears. They told me later during the debrief that they felt the pain through the beautiful harmony . I suppose the joy of the visit was overshadowed by the pain of kn...owing it would be a short stay before they have to, once again, leave their homeland and love ones. I now fly for Air Japan (ANA) based in Narita, Japan. I fly all over the world, but still reminisce my youth growing up in Long Island, in the late 70's early 80's. Thanks for the memories.
