A Spanish greeting reciprocated in Hawaii? (5)
I believe the answer is:
aloha
'a spanish greeting' is the definition.
'aloha' can be an answer for 'greeting' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'a spanish' bit.
'reciprocated in hawaii?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'hawaii?' could be 'ha' (abbreviation for Hawaii) and 'ha' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aloha that I've seen before include "Hello or goodbye in Hawaii" , "A greeting in Hawaii" , "greeting in Oahu" , "A Hawaiian welcome" , "Hello from Honolulu?" .)
