"A" sound would actually make more sense. Guahan doesnt mean "we have" that would be "guaha ham/hit" Guahan means abundant.

What do you think the other islands mean? I’m guessing Måug, aka Må’ok is a reference to the giant caldera, aka a maddok?

I learned ma'ok to mean long-lasting. Aside from må'o' which is thirsty. Ma'ok is synonymous with utas which could also mean to ration resources so that they last longer. The voyage up there would have been long so they had to pack provisions that would keep for a longer time.

I learned a saying when I was young that goes "I mesngon ha' man ma'ok" and it roughly translates to "only the tough will last long" and i think to make it up there you had to be tough as nails and be able to last long
