Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

While 'hakahaka' isn't *incorrect*, 'ʻole ʻano' (literally 'no type') more accurately reflects the programming concept of 'void'. ʻAno means 'type, form, manner'. This is more precise than a general 'empty' descriptor. Alternatively, 'ʻaʻohe hopena' ('no result') could also be considered, but 'ʻole ʻano' is more broadly applicable to type definitions.

Issue breakdown

  • specificity While 'hakahaka' means empty, it leans more towards physically empty. 'Void' in programming often implies a lack of *type* or return value, not necessarily physical emptiness.
