va'a
Va'a is a word in Samoan, Hawaiian and Tahitian which means 'boat', 'canoe' or 'ship'. A larger traditional seagoing vessel for long distance voyages is referred to as ''vaa tele'' (big ship). The term ''alia'' is also used for larger vessels in Samoa. The smaller ''vaa'' used for fishing typically have a float, or outrigger, attached to the main hull for stability. This outrigger part of the canoe is called ''ama'' in various Polynesian languages.
The word is cognate with other Polynesian words such as ''vaka'' or the Māori word ''waka''.
