I see more than a few local Hawaiian names in the paper on on street signs with the overstrike over one or more vowels (can't find a HTML way of doing it), like the name Nakalele having the line over the two A's but not the E's. In my faded memory, in English that meant the vowel was long, as in "AY" rather than "AH". What does it mean with Hawaiian words?
