> The Anutans have their own word for this, “aropa”, which means love and compassion.

And its “Aloha” in Hawaiian, and “Aroha” in Maori...

sorry but i disagree,’aloha means welcome or hello
as does talofa here in beautiful Samoa.
But here love means ALOFA which is more close to aropa, i think alofa is related to aropa both meaning love.
Talofa from Samoa
