"Warrior"

From Hawaiian / Polynesian

Koah means strength or power — from the Hebrew koach. It may also connect to the Hawaiian Koa (warrior/brave) with an H-ending that adds breath. The H transforms warrior-tree into something that sounds like strength exhaled. Four letters of Hebrew power, Hawaiian warrior heritage, and the breath after the battle.
