I think the most impressive palindrome is the succinct
a man, a plan, a canal: Panama.

...is a Hawaiian word that maybe means "everyone together".

It is also a palindrome
of an acronym
and a puzzle.

To he who solves this little Awad puzzle I will award a little kiss
or five American dollars the next time I see you.

a Hawaiian word

I realize this is probably a joke, but it can't be a Hawai'ian word as that language does not have the phonemes b, f, s, or t.
