For many years Hawaiian Dictionary has been the definitive and authoritative work
on the Hawaiian language. Now this indispensable reference volume has been enlarged
and completely revised. More than 3,000 new entries have been added to the Hawaiian-English
section bringing the total number of entries to almost 30,000, and making it the largest
and most complete of any Polynesian dictionary. Other additions and changes in this
section include: a method of showing stress groups to facilitate pronunciation of
Hawaiian words with more than three syllables; indication of parts of speech; current
scientific names of plants; use of metric measurements; additional reconstructions;
classical origins of loan words; and many added cross-references to enhance understanding
of the numerous nuances of Hawaiian words. The English-Hawaiian section, a complement
and supplement to the Hawaiian-English section, contains more than 12,500 entries
and can serve as an index to hidden riches in the Hawaiian language. This new edition
is more than a dictionary. Containing folklore, poetry, and ethnology, it will benefit
Hawaiian studies for years to come. - Publisher
