The Hawaiian alphabet with the foreign letters at the end

Student: "Why does the Hawaiian alphabet have the same letters but in a different order? I don’t get it."
Teacher: "Actually, the Hawaiian alphabet has twelve letters - A, E, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, U, W - and that leaves us with the foreign letters - B, C, D, F, G, J, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Y and Z - at the end."
Student: "Oh, so if we were to put all the letters of the Hawaiian alphabet and all the foreign letters together, then that should make it a very big word - aehiklmnopuwbcdfgjqrstvxyz."
Teacher: "You’re actually right, but that big word isn’t a word. It’s the alphabet!"
