Hawaiian Dictionary: Hawaiian-English and English-Hawaiian
by Mary Kawena Pukui; Samuel H. Elbert
revised and enlarged
"This standard work of reference... continues offering the happy blend of grammar and lexicon." --American Reference Books Annual
For many years, Hawaiian Dictionary has been the definitive and authoritative work on the Hawaiian language. Now this indispensible 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. This new edition is more than a dictionary. Containing folklore, poetry, and ethnology, it will benefit Hawaiian studies for years to come.
