Hawaiian greeting (5)

I think it could be either:

aloha

haole

'hawaiian greeting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for aloha that I've seen before include "A halo seen in Polynesian greeting" , "Hawaiian farewell" , "Hawaiian greeting" , "Hi! in Honolulu" , "16 across in Hawaii" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, The Times, the USA Today, the King Feature Syndicate, The New York Times, The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Sun, The Mirror, the Newsday, The Telegraph and The Guardian.
