Which leads me to ask why without the "ua" it doesn't or can't mean the vog is clearing? (Or actually, how would you say the vog is clearing?)

Polalauahi
Vog = haze, as during a volcanic eruption.
Lava bombs, lava haze, volcanic smog:

Does anything about the word 'mao' make this sentence in the past? I see that mao can also mean 'clear', so could this also mean that 'the vog is clearing' ?

I've never been to Hawaii, but I have encountered the word somewhere before. I think in grade school, when we were studying volcanoes.
It makes sense that it wouldn't be common in places that aren't near volcanoes.
