"kēlā mau wāhine"

Translation: those women

[Stephanos14021]

Why is "those far women" not accepted as a correct answer?

[lynneo]

I put "those women (far)" and it showed incorrect, also. In all the other examples, putting (far) or (near the listener) was marked correct. Why not in this case?, I also ask!

[Stephanos14021]

Even Duolingo's own dictionary here online indicates that "kēlā" has a connotation of "far."
