TIKI (3 letters) The term 'Luau Loop' is composed of two words: 'LEI' and 'Tiki'. LEI is a traditional Hawaiian garland made of flowers, leaves, shells, or feathers, which is often worn around the neck. Tiki is a type of carved wooden figure that is used in Polynesian culture to represent a god or ancestor. Together, these two words form the term 'Luau Loop', which is a popular Hawaiian party or celebration.
