OP I'm not much on new words; dunno why, but you may have noticed I don't join in much on discussions of pleonasms or coined words. But this one for some reason resonates for me. The following is a text of a message I got from an old old friend in Hawaii. I commend the word for discussion, use, whatever.
"At the recent inauguration of our new governor, Linda Lingle, I quote from the newspaper account. " In one of seven multi-faith invocations, Catholic priest Ronald Burke declared a spirit of "shaloha" for the new administration, combining the Hebrew word for peace, shalom, with the
Hawaiian word invoking love, aloha." Think the man has a good idea there. So Shaloha my dears."
