The word fa'afafine includes the causative prefix "fa'a", meaning "in the manner of", and the word fafine, meaning "woman".[1] It is cognate with linguistically related words in other Polynesian languages, such as the Tongan fakafefine (also fakaleiti), the Maori whakawahine, and Cook Islands Maori akava'ine (see also Hawaiian mahu). The Samoan slangword mala (or "devastation", by way of the Samoan Bible) is in less frequent use for fa'afafine. from Wikipedia... [/QUOTE]
