I'm just gonna point it out... I feel the article lack some historical context like how these leis where used by royalty and the symbolism for each lei etc. I'm no expert but it would be nice to get an expert on the this matter to help out separate the fakery that might come about by commercial advertising from the real history of the lei. Like information about how "kukui nut leis" were only initially used by royalty or is this just a fake story to sell products. It's really difficult to determine if this information is historically the case. Getonyourfeet 23:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
(Hawaiian song) May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii, composed by Hawk, is one of the popular modern Hawaiian songs. On May 9, 2008, this song was sung by Glee Club, with hula dancer Piilani and The Royal Hawaiian Band, at the Conch Shells of Iolani Palace Concert.
According to Webster's online it is pronounced sort of like "lay" or "lay-ee" (but maybe not as a diphthong). Some-one who can put in the right symbols should add a pronunciation guide. Kdammers ( talk) 00:58, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: not moved. Though there was some support for the argument that the garland was WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the supporting arguments were largely rebutted, resulting in a consensus not to move.

– Has this not been discussed since 2006, when
a now-blocked user's comment was never responded to? Surprising. Anyway, their reasoning back then seems to hold up: I'm thinking that the vast majority of the time that people type in "Lei" in the English Wikipedia, they mean the Hawaiian necklace, not a Spanish city's airport code, the plural of Romanian currency, or a Chinese surname.
The numbers back up that this is the
primary topic: WikiNav shows a
sizable majority of the dab page's outgoing links are to the necklace (65–70%, compared to 15% for the Romanian currency, ~10% for the surname, and 5% for Legal Entity Identifier).
