So "ʻo" is used with place names too? I feel like we did a lot of exercises where it wasn't used with them.

(And it doesn't mean "of" here - more like the "ua" is a verb or adverb is the way I'm interpreting it) (not that I know! ;) )

I just tried this (Ua o Hilo without the 'okina) because I got to try again :) (I had the sentence wrong the first time - typed "Ka ua o Hilo") and was wondering if it worked without the "ka." I was told "o" was a typo and it should be "'o." (Maybe you did too and didn't notice?)
WRT the second part - "ua" doesn't have an 'okina to begin with (?) but I don't think it makes a diff whether it's at the beginning of the sentence or not anyway.
