 PREFACE 
 
 In 1836 "A Vocabulary of Words in the Hawaiian 
 Language" was published by Lorrin Andrews. The evident 
 usefulness of this list of about 6000 words led its author 
 to prepare "A Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language" 
 which was issued in 1865. 
 
 Andrews' dictionary had long been out of print and in- 
 creasing interest in Polynesian linguistic studies, the need 
 of an authoritative reference book for the spelling, pro- 
 nunciation, and definition of Hawaiian words, led to ar- 
 rangements for the preparation of a new Hawaiian dic- 
 tionary under the direction of the Board of Commissioners 
 of Public Archives. A legislative act of 1913 made pro- 
 vision for "compiling, printing, binding, and publishing in 
 book form a dictionary of the Hawaiian language" in 
 which was to be given "the correct pronunciation of the 
 ancient and modern Hawaiian words and phrases and their 
 respective equivalents or meanings in the English language." 
 
 As a necessary step in the preparation of a dictionary 
 the Board of Archives transcribed all the words appearing 
 in Andrews' Dictionary. These totaled about 15,000 type- 
 written cards. 
 
 Following this preliminary work consideration was 
 given to the selection of a compiler on whom might be 
 placed the responsibility for preparing the desired manu- 
 script. Rev. Henry Hodges Parker was chosen and finan- 
 cial arrangements made whereby he was released from 
 other obligations for the five years following the date of 
 appointment, January 1, 1915. The outstanding features 
 of the work performed by Mr. Parker are : the incorpora- 
 tion into the cards prepared by the Board of Archives of the 
 extremely valuable revised definitions prepared by the dis-

 tinguished Hawaiian scholar, Lorenzo Lyons (1807-1886) 
 into the body of the original Andrews Dictionary, the revision 
 of many definitions, the time-consuming task of supplying 
 diacritical marks, the comparison of word lists from various 
 sources (see pp. vi and vii). Particular effort was made to 
 insure correct separation into syllables of the words defined, 
 and to insure correct spelHng of Hawaiian words, phrases and 
 quotations. 
 
 Early in 1921 the manuscript cards were transmitted 
 by the Board of Archives to the Bishop Museum, which 
 consented to do the editorial work necessary to prepare 
 the volume for the press. The Museum staff verified many 
 scientific terms, compiled a list of Hawaiian geographic 
 terms, and with the assistance of J. S. Emerson, Stephen 
 Mahaulu, and other Hawaiian scholars, added a few words 
 and enlarged and clarified many definitions. Galley proof 
 has been read by Mr. Parker. 
 
 The Board is under obligation to the Bishop Museum 
 for skilled assistance and for financial aid which has per- 
 mitted the publication of the dictionary without further 
 drafts on Territorial funds.

 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS BY HENRY HODGES PARKER 
 
 An act providing for the compilation and publication of a dictionary 
 of the Hawaiian language passed by the Legislature in 1913 says: "In 
 such dictionary there shall be given the correct pronunciation of the 
 ancient and modern Hawaiian words and phrases and their respective 
 equivalents or meanings in the English language." 
 
 Taking Judge Lorrin Andrews' Dictionary as a basis for the new 
 work, the compilation of such existing materials as are found in it is 
 completed. Andrews' Hawaiian Dictionary is the only work of its kind 
 In the Hawaiian language; it registers more than 15,000 words. A re- 
 vision or review of this work is accomplished. Each word has been 
 rewritten twice, first in its entirety and again in its syllabic parts. 
 
 Most scriptural references have been omitted in this review since 
 alterations made in the text of later editions of the Hawaiian Bible 
 make these references unserviceable. A list of words taken from foreign 
 languages, and the English-Hawaiian vocabulary found in Andrews' Dic- 
 tionary are also omitted. Hawaiianized words derived from foreign 
 speech have their place in the main body of the work. All words and 
 definitions registered in Andrews' vocabulary are embodied in this 
 new dictionary excepting such words and definitions as conflict with 
 accuracy. 
 
 An interleaved volume of Andrew's work with notes and criticisms 
 by the late Rev. Lorenzo Lyons has been used to advantage. A few 
 old letters written by Hawaiians have been accessible and have added 
 to the list of words. Ancient Hawaiians knew their mother tongue well. 
 An old native tells a story about Kamehameha which was told him by 
 his father and that story-telling reveals the use of a word heretofore 
 inexplicable even to a modern native scholar. 
 
 A mass of unclassified material ;has been used: manuscript from the 
 Catholic Mission in Honolulu dating as far back as the days of Bishop 
 Maigret; manuscript from the Hawaiian Board of Missions, courtesy of 
 the Rev. W. D. Westervelt; a "Lexicon of the Hawaiian Tongue taken 
 from the Apograph of Hiram Bingham," dated July 4, 1832; and a brief 
 list of Hawaiian words with their definitions in the handwriting of the 
 late Rev. W. P. Alexander. 
 
 A valuable contribution to this work is made by Mr. W. F. Wilson 
 of Honolulu in words listed by himself. Additions have been made 
 from Dr. William T. Brigham's Ka Hana Kapa; Dr. N. B. Emerson's 
 translation of Pele and Hiiaka; and Ellis' Tour Through Hawaii. From 
 Mrs. Irene li Holloway has come literature on the indigenous plants 
 of Hawaii. Through the kindly office of Mr. J. S. Emerson a copy of 
 William's Maori Dictionary is at hand which reveals a remarkable sim- 
 ilarity in the structure of many Hawaiian and Maori words. 
 
 Sincere gratitude is due and here expressed to those who have 
 exhibited a friendly concern in the work; to Dr. William T. Brigham and 
 Mr. Thomas G. Thrum of the Bishop Museum staff for various helpful 
 suggestions and criticisms; to Mr. Robert C. Lydecker, Librarian of the 
 Public Archives, and his clerks for information in their possession; to

 Mr. W. F. Wilson for his carefully prepared lists of unenrolled words; to 
 Messrs. Edward K. Alapai and Daniel Damien, scholars of the old 
 Lahainaluna class, for assistance rendered in a clearer translation of ob- 
 scure words and phrases. 
 
 Perfection is not claimed for this work. Few are able to appreciate 
 the amount of labor or the length of time required to complete a work 
 of this sort. 
 
 PREFACE TO THE ORIGINAL EDITION BY LORRIN ANDREWS, 1865 
 
 It w^as the intention of the author of this volume to make some 
 extended remarks concerning the character, peculiarities and extent of 
 the Hawaiian language, by way of preface or introduction; the want of 
 physical strength, and especially of mental energy, has induced him to 
 forego such an attempt and be contented with a mere history of the 
 manner in which this dictionary has come into existence. The history 
 of Hawaiian lexicography is short. For the first effort the author will 
 quote from the preface of "A Vocabulary of Words in the Hawaiian 
 Language" as follows: 
 
 "At a general meeting of the Mission in June, 1834, it was voted, 
 'That Mr. Andrews prepare a Vocabulary of the Hawaiian Language.' 
 At the same time a wish was earnestly expressed and often repeated 
 that the work should not be delayed, but should be printed as soon as 
 possible; and it was fully understood and expected that the work would 
 necessarily be an imperfect one. 
 
 "On receiving the above appointment from the Mission, the compiler 
 set about a review of his materials for the compilation of a vocabulary. 
 The materials at hand and from which the following work has been 
 compiled were the following: 
 
 "1. A vocabulary of words collected mostly, it is believed, by Mr. 
 Loomis, formerly a member of this Mission. This was transcribed by 
 the compiler on his voyage from the United States, and put to use in 
 
 1828. In using it, his object was to insert every new word which he 
 saw in print or understood in conversation or could obtain in any other 
 way, besides correcting such mistakes as had been made in transcribing 
 from the copy of Mr. Loomis. It was also a point with him to insert, 
 if possible, the authority. Owing, however, to his ignorance of the lan- 
 guage at the time, many mistakes were made both in the orthography 
 of the words and in his definitions. 
 
 "2. A vocabulary of words arranged, it is believed, in part by Mr. 
 Ely, at the request of the Mission, and finished by Mr. Bishop. A copy 
 of this was received and transcribed by the compiler in the summer of 
 
 1829. Every other page was left blank for the insertion of new words, 
 and for any such other corrections or additions as should be important. 
 In using this manuscript, the same method was taken as with the vocab- 
 ulary of Mr. Loomis. New words and new definitions of words before 
 collected, increased the size of the book to a considerable extent. 
 
 "On the slightest review of these irregular masses of materials, it was 
 manifest that the labor of a thorough examination of every word, either 
 by consulting intelligent natives or by examining the usus loquemli from 
 such manuscripts as could be obtained, or from the books that had been 
 printed, must necessarily be a very protracted labor — the labor of some 
 years at least. In consideration, therefore, of the urgent desire that 
 something should be commenced in the form of a vocabulary, and that 
 a work having any pretensions to perfection must be slow in its prog- 
 
 vil 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 ress, and protracted in its completion — and as the compiler was bur- 
 dened with labors of another kind — he judged it best to reduce the ma- 
 terials he had on hand to order in the best manner his time would 
 permit. He has done so, without looking for any new words or extend- 
 ing the definitions of such as were collected, or consulting any native 
 with regard to the propriety or impropriety of any definition. He feels 
 it his duty, therefore, to forewarn those who may consult the following 
 Vocabulary that they will often be disappointed. It is by no means a 
 perfect vocabulary of the Hawaiian language." 
 
 Such is the history of the vocabulary. The printing was commenced 
 at Honolulu in 1835, but finished at the press of the then high school 
 at Lahainaluna and published early in 1836. It consisted of 132 pages 
 octavo, and contained a little over 6,000 words, and has been the prin- 
 cipal vocabulary in use until the present time. 
 
 As soon as the aforementioned vocabulary was published, the authoi 
 had several copies bound with blank leaves for making corrections and 
 inserting new words, and continued his reading of Hawaiian documents 
 both printed and written — giving the preference in all cases to such as 
 were written by chiefs to other chiefs, and such as were written by one 
 intelligent Hawaiian to another. As many of these written documents 
 were never printed and were ephemeral in their nature, no reference 
 could be made to them except by quoting a short sentence containing 
 the word in question. No works of foreigners writing Hawaiian have 
 been referred to except a very few school books, such as the Anahonua 
 (Surveying); the Anatomia, a short treatise on Anatomy by Dr. Judd; 
 Hoikehonua (Geography), and a few others. The translation of the 
 Bible, however, from the great care exercised in translating — the fre- 
 quent and thorough views by parties distinct from the original trans- 
 lators — and in all cases with Hawaiians sitting by and assisting, who 
 were distinguished for intelligence and skill in their own language — is 
 the principal exception. That has been considered and treated as a 
 classic, and numerous references have been made to it accordingly. It 
 may be remarked, however, that as the Hawaiian Bible has been under 
 a revision for two or three years past, and is now being printed in the 
 United States, some of the references in the Dictionary may not apply 
 to this new edition of the Bible. With these exceptions, the authorities 
 for the definitions of words, so far as the author is concerned, have 
 been drawn from manuscripts written by Hawaiians or from printed 
 pages originally written by such. The author has ever sought after the 
 best and purest Hawaiian he could obtain, as he has had no use for the 
 low filthy, vulgar language of ignorant and sensual depravity that must 
 ever exist where there is no purifying principle to counteract it, his book 
 may appear deficient in low terms, too common even now. A good 
 many, it is to be feared, have crept in unawares along with better com- 
 pany; but they have never been sought after. 
 
 Besides two interleaved volumes filled up by the author himself, he 
 has been permitted to draw from the following sources: 
 
 1. From a manuscript of Dr. Baldwin of Lahaina. This manuscript 
 was especially useful, not so much for definitions fully written out, as 
 for its suggestions of what might be and what should be further inves- 
 tigated. In noting down the ideas that appeared to belong to the word 
 under review, he appears to have had a shrewd Hawaiian at his elbow.

INTRODUCTION 
 
 Some of his definitions have been copied in full; most of them are added 
 to those of the author. Hence this general acknowledgment is all that 
 can appear in the work. 
 
 2. Mr. Richards' book. This was a printed volume of the Vocabulary 
 bound up like the author's with blank leaves. In his missionary work, 
 and especially after he became a teacher for the chiefs, Mr. Richards 
 obtained quite a stock of new words; but it is to be regretted that his 
 engagements did not allow him time to define them well. He frequently 
 obtained a new word, but in&tead of giving a radical definition, merely 
 mentioned that the princess or Hoapili or some other chief used the 
 word, apparently meaning so and so, leaving it to the author to find 
 out as best he could the real meaning of the word. It was, however, of 
 considerable help to the author. 
 
 3. The volume of Rev. A. Bishop has also rendered assistance to 
 the author. Having a blank interleaved book, he corrected or improved 
 many definitions of the printed Vocabulary, and also added upwards 
 of 200 new words. 
 
 4. The author is also indebted to Dr. Judd in the same way, that is, 
 by allowing the author the use of his interleaved Vocabulary. Besides 
 his work on Anatomy into which he introduced the Hawaiian names of 
 the bones, muscles, and ligaments of the human system, he has collected 
 in his Vocabulary a number of colloquial words. 
 
 5. The Vocabulary of S. M. Kamakau. This was designed to be a 
 vocabulary of Hawaiian words with Hawaiian definitions. This work 
 was commenced and carried on by Mr. Kamakau through the instigation, 
 if not the expense of the Rev. J. S. Emerson while Professor at the 
 Seminary of Lahainaluna. Its value as a vocabulary is diminished, not 
 for want of information, but for want of skill in making definitions. 
 Instead of giving a definition in other words, he merely added the 
 synonyms of the word in question. The work, however, was of value to 
 the author, for these synonyms increased the number of words which 
 finally found their way into the Dictionary. For all these helps, the 
 author desires to make due acknowledgment. 
 
 Still there has been ample room for the exercise of the author's own 
 judgment. The different departments in which he has been called to 
 act, as that of a missionary, a teacher in the Seminary at Lahainaluna, 
 a magistrate in the different courts of the Kingdom and Secretary of the 
 Privy Council, in all of which the Hawaiian language was used, have 
 brought before him a great variety of forms of speech, and perhaps 
 also, a greater variety of the senses in which many words are used 
 than could have been obtained had he been confined to any one depart- 
 ment. But after all, as he reviews his Dictionary, he feels that he has 
 nothing to boast of. The deficiencies are still great. Much will remain 
 for the author's successors to do before the genius, extent, and peculiar- 
 ities of the Hawaiian language will be fully developed. 
 
 There are several fields of thought which are but feebly represented 
 in this Dictionary, as: imaginative words used in the kaaos or legends; 
 those which may be termed their philosophical views, that is, their mode 
 of accounting for natural phenomena, as the creation of their islands; 
 the origin of their religious rites; and especially the power of imagina- 
 tion displayed in their meles and the consequent richness of their lan- 
 guage for expressing the nicest shades of love, hatred, jealousy and

 revenge, and the language used by the priests when calling on their 
 gods for assistance. The legend of Laieikawai is almost the only speci- 
 men of Hawaiian romantic language which has been laid before the 
 public. Many fine specimens have been printed in the Hawaiian period- 
 icals, but are neither seen nor regarded by the foreign community. 
 Volumes of the same quality as Laieikawai might be collected and 
 printed. Their moral influence would be no worse on Hawaiian minds 
 than the famous Scott's novels are on English readers. The study of 
 these romances would demonstrate that the Hawaiians possessed a lan- 
 guage not only adapted to their former necessities, but capable of being 
 used in introducing the arts of civilized society, and especially of pure 
 morals, of law, and the religion of the Bible. 
 
 The number of words in this Dictionary is about 15,500. The author 
 would here state that four-fifths of the work was completed before he 
 had any intimation that it would ever be printed. It was written solely 
 for his own amusement and information, and preparatory to a fuller 
 investigation of the language. He has been desirous for many years 
 of going more fully into the study of Hawaiian poetry, and as a prepar- 
 ation to it he was induced to collect specimens of the language of com- 
 mon life; hence the origin of this dictionary. An appropriation of 
 money for a dictionary which passed the Legislature of 1860 without 
 his knowledge, was the first intimation the author had that such a 
 work was desired by the foreign community of the islands. 
 
 Much praise is due to the Advertiser for the correctness of the 
 printing. Seldom is a book of this size printed with so few typographical 
 errors. The public will also feel indebted to Professor Alexander for 
 assiduous attention not only in one reading of each proof sheet, but 
 in suggesting improvements in the language of definitions. The work 
 is now submitted to a candid public. The author hopes and prays that 
 as God has spared his life to bring it to a close. He will in some way 
 make it useful to the increase of intelligence in this Hawaiian Kingdom. 
 
 INTRODUCTION TO THE ORIGINAL EDITION, 
 BY W. D. ALEXANDER 
 
 The Hawaiian is but a dialect of the great Polynesian language, 
 which is s.poken with extraordinary uniformity over all the numerous 
 islands of the Pacific Ocean betw^een New Zealand and Hawaii. Agam, 
 the Polynesian language is but one member of that wide-spread family 
 of languages, known as the Malayo-Polynesian or Oceanic family, which 
 extends from Madagascar to the Hawaiian islands, and from New 
 Zealand to Formosa. 
 
 The Hawaiian dialect is peculiarly interesting to the philologist 
 from its isolated positon, being the most remote of the family from 
 its primeval seat in Southeastern Asia, and leading as it were the van 
 while the Malagasy brings up the rear. We will first give a brief 
 account of what has been done for these languages, chiefly by Euro- 
 pean scholars. 
 
 The similarity of the Polynesian dialects is s.o striking that it did 
 not escape the notice of the first discoverers in this ocean. Dr. Rein- 
 hold Forster, the celebrated naturalist of Captain Cook's second voyage, 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 drew up a table containing forty-seven words taken from eleven Oceanic 
 dialects, and the corresponding terms in Malay, Mexican, Peruvian, and 
 Chilian. From this, table he inferred that the Polynesian languages 
 afford many analogies with the Malay, while they present no point of 
 contact with the Amerindian languages. After him Mr. Anderson, in a 
 comparative table, which was published at the end of Cook's third 
 voyage, drew attention to the striking resemblance of the Polynesian 
 numerals to those of the Malay archipelago and Madagascar. 
 
 According to Max Muller, it was Abbe Lorenzo Hervas who first 
 made what he calls "one of the mos.t brilliant discoveries in the history 
 of the science of language, the establishment of the Malay and Poly- 
 nesian family of speech, extending from the island of Madagascar over 
 208 degrees of longitude to Easter Island," etc. From what has been 
 said, however, it is evident that the credit of this discovery is really 
 due to Forster and Anderson. Hervas was a Spanish Jesuit, who spent 
 several years as a missionary in South America, where his attention 
 was drawn to the comparative study of languages. After his return 
 to Europe, he lived chiefly at Rome, where his correspondence with 
 Jesuit missionaries in all parts of the world gave him great assistance 
 in his philological researches. In his "Catalogue of Languages," pub- 
 lished in the year 1800, he clearly stated this relationship, which it was 
 reserved for a Humboldt to demonstrate. 
 
 A few years later William Maraden, who was the first to investigate 
 with accuracy the history of the East Indian archipelago, arrived in- 
 dependently at the same conclusion. He considered all the insular 
 nations as colonies from the Malays, whose original home was the 
 island of Sumatra, and their common speech he termed the Great 
 Polynesian. 
 
 John Crawford, in his great work on the East Indian archipelago, 
 publisJied in 1820, in which he gave a valuable comparative vocabulary, 
 advanced a very different theory, which has occasioned a great deal of 
 discussion, and is not without its advocates even at the present day. 
 He supposed that the basis of each barbarous language was originally 
 distinct, each tribe being a distinct race, and properly indigenous. The 
 common words, in each dialect he supposed to have been derived from 
 a foreign langauge, which he calls the Great Polynesian, and which 
 was spread, as he imagined, by a more civilized people, through con- 
 quest and commercial intercourse, over the whole archipelago. On this 
 subject we briefly remark that his theory affords no explanation of 
 the dispersion of the Polynesian race over the islands of the Pacific 
 Ocean. Besides we have good reasx)n to believe that whatever superior- 
 ity in civilization is enjoyed by the East Indian islanders, was derived 
 by them from continental India, long after the dispersion of the insular 
 races from their common center, and not from his imaginary Great 
 Polynesian. Again, the words which are common to all these languages 
 are such as are least likely to have been borrowed by one race from an- 
 other, as the pronouns, the numerals, the names of family relations, of 
 parts of the body, of the great objects of nature, and all the simplest ideas 
 of everyday life. The Saxons, for example, learned to use many Nor- 
 man-French words, but most of their household words remained Sax- 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 on. So did their numerals, so did their pronouns, and so in the high- 
 est degree did their grammar. 
 
 Dumont d'Urville's report on the Philology of the French Exploring 
 Expedition, during the years 1825-1829, published in 1833, reflects great 
 credit on its author. Besides other valuable materials, it contains a 
 comparative vocabulary of seven Oceanic languages, comprising over 
 800 words in the Madagascar, New Zealand, Tongan, Tahitian, Hawaiian 
 and Malay languages. 
 
 In the able essay which accompanied it, he drew attention to the 
 fact that a class of words common to the Malagasy and the Polynesian 
 are wanting in the Malay; which confirmed, as he justly thought, 
 Forster's opinion that "all these languages were derived from one very 
 ancient tongue, now lost," which held towards them all the relation of 
 a common parent, the Polynesian having remained nearest to the origi- 
 nal type, while the Malay has been greatly modified by the influence 
 of the Sanscrit, and the Malagasy by the African and Arabic languages. 
 M. d'Urville then goes on to advance an ingenious hypothesis, which, 
 however, will not s.tand the test of examination, that a continent like 
 Australia, or at leas.t an archipelago, once occupied part of Polynesia, 
 inhabited by a people of whom the Polynesian tribes are but the rem- 
 nant that have survived some great convulsion of the globe. In that 
 case the Malays would have been but colonists from the supposed 
 Polynesian continent, who had followed the general course of the trade 
 winds. 
 
 The earliest really scientific analysis of the structure of a Poly- 
 nesian language, with which we are acquainted, is the work on the 
 Hawaiian language published at Berlin in 1837, by Adelbert von Cha- 
 misso, the poet, who had been the naturalist of the Russian Exploring 
 Expedition, under Kotzebue, in the years 1815 to 1818. It is a work 
 of rare ability, considering the meager materials which the author had 
 at his command. In the year 1838 appeared a work by Baron William 
 von Humboldt, the distinguished statesman and scholar, which marked 
 a new era in the history of the science of language, and which first 
 fixed on an impregnable basis the relationship of the Malayo-Polynesian 
 languages. This great work "On the Kawi Language in the Island of 
 Java," which was edited after the author's death by his friend and 
 assistant, M. Buschmann, has ever since been regarded as a model and 
 masterpiece of philological research. In the words of Professor De Vere, 
 "the Kawi served him as a canvas on which to weave those truths 
 and that wisdom, which have placed his name in universal comparative 
 philology by the side of that of Leibnitz." 
 
 In this work, which occupies three quarto volumes, he first lays 
 down the fundamental principles which govern the development of 
 language, and show the influence of the structure of language on the 
 intellectual development of races. He then institutes a most minute 
 and searching examination of the nine principal languages of the Malay 
 stock: the Malagasy, Malay, Javanese, Bughis, Tagala, New Zealand, 
 Tongan, Tahitian and Hawaiian, analyzing the structure of their roots, 
 and investigating the laws of derivation and euphony, in accordance 
 with which the common stock of words is modified in each dialect. He 
 next proceeds to make a most careful and elaborate analysis of the 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 grammatical structure, the particles and formatives of each language, 
 after which he makes a comparison of the numerals, and pf 131 prim- 
 itive words in all the nine languages mentioned above. The result of 
 this extensive and laborious analysis is to prove that there is not only 
 a fundamental and close affinity between these languages in respect 
 to their vocabulary, but that their construction is so similar that they 
 may be considered as belonging to one and the same grammatical 
 system, and pervaded by the same modes of thought. Humboldt also 
 showed that the Tagala, the leading language of the Philippine Islands, 
 is by far the richest and most perfect of these languages, and that it 
 may even be considered as the type of the family. "It possesses," he 
 said, "all the forms collectively of which particular ones are found 
 singly in other dialects; and it has preserved them all with very 
 trifling exceptions unbroken, and in entire harmony and symmetry. 
 * * * It was necessary, in order to display the highest perfection of 
 which the organism of this stock of languages is capable, to exhibit the 
 system of verbs in the Tagala." 
 
 The. languages of the Oceanic region have been divided into six 
 great groups: 1, the Polynesian; 2, the Micronesian; 3, the Melanesian 
 or Papuan; 4, the Australian; 5, the Malaysian, and 6, the Malagasy, 
 as the language of Madagascar is called. In regard to these different 
 groups our limits will not allow us to go into any details. Suffice it 
 to say of the Australians that their languages appear to be radically 
 distinct from the Malayo-Polynesian family, though they have left some 
 traces of former contact on the dialects of the small islands west of 
 New Guinea. The Melanesian or Papuan languages present but very 
 slight points of resemblance to the Malay or Polynesian, and differ 
 greatly among themselves. If, as is generally supposed, the black race 
 were the first settlers in the Pacific, the wave of immigration which 
 peopled Polynesia must have swept around them to the north, and at 
 a later period the Micronesians may have moved in and closed up the 
 rear. 
 
 Of the languages of Malaysia, those of the Moluccas approach the 
 nearest to Polynesian. Those islands then may be considered as the 
 probable starting point of the ancient ' Polynesian emigrants. The 
 languages of Micronesia unmistakably belong to the great Malay family, 
 and in their grammatical structure resemble the East Indian languages 
 more than the Polynesian. 
 
 The remarkable fact that the language of Madagascar belongs to 
 this great family was first established by William Humboldt in his 
 great work on the Kawi language. The Malagasy has no resemblance 
 to the South African languages. In its grammatical structure it ap- 
 proaches nearest to the Tagala, but it contains several Polynesian words 
 which are wanting in the intervening Malay languages. The first ten 
 numerals in Malagasy are "Rec or isa, rua, telu, efat, dimi, enim, fitu, 
 valu, sivi, fulu." In Malay they are "Satu, dua, tiga, ampat, lima, anam, 
 tujuh, delapan or walu, sambilan, sa-puluh." The original Polynesian 
 forms are "Tasi, lua, tolu, fa, lima, ono, fitu, valu, siwa, fulu." Com- 
 pare the Malagasy word for "heaven," langits, with the Malay langit, 
 the Polynesian langi or lani; the Malagasy word nifi, a "tooth," with 
 the Polynesian nifo or niho; the Malagasy uvi, a "yam," with the 
 
 xiii 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 Polynesian ufi or uhi. Indeed s.ome words, such as mate, "dead," etc., 
 are found in the same identical forms throughout this whole circle of 
 languages. Many other examples might be given if they were needed 
 to illustrate the connection of these languages. 
 
 The Polynesian language is, as has been before remarked, an ex- 
 tremely ancient and primitive member of the great Malay family. 
 
 It was observed by Humboldt that the introduction .of Sanscrit words 
 into the Javanese and Malay mus.t have been centuries before the 
 Christian era, and that the separation between the different branches 
 of the Malay family must have taken place at a still earlier period. 
 It has also been seen that the internal structure of the Polynesian 
 language indicates its high antiquity. It was the belief of William Hum- 
 boldt that the Polynesians exhibit the original state of civilization 
 of the Malay race, when they first settled in the Indian Archipelago, 
 and before they had been changed by foreign influence. The unity of 
 the Polynesian dialects is still an astonishing fact. Tribes like the 
 Hawaiians and New Zealanders, separated from each other by one- 
 fourth of the circumference of the globe in space, and thousands of 
 years in time, speak dialects of one language, and have the same cus- 
 toms and mythology. The laws of euphony in the several dialects 
 which regulate the changes of consonants are ao fixed and uniform, 
 that a New Zealand or Samoan word being given, we can generally 
 tell with certainty what its form will be in each of the other dialects. 
 The conclusion that the course of migration in the Pacific was from 
 west to east might be deduced from an examination of the compara- 
 tive grammar and vocabularies of the different dialects. We find in 
 those of the western groups many forms which are entirely wanting 
 in the eastern dialects, while others, which are complete in the former 
 are found in the latter defective or perverted from what was evidently 
 their original meaning. 
 
 The New Zealand dialect, on the whole, is the most primitive and 
 entire in its forms. The Hawaiians, Marquesans and Tahitians form a 
 closely related group by themselves. For example, the Marquesaii 
 converts are using Hawaiian books, and the people of the Austral 
 Islands read the Tahitian Bible. 
 
 Although, from a scientific point of view, the Hawaiian may seem to 
 be one of the most attenuated and degenerate dialects of this family, 
 we believe it to be practically one of the most copious and expressive, 
 as well as the richest in native traditional history and poetry. 
 
 The Samoan and Tongan languages have probably been modified, 
 by a later importation from the East Indies. They contain several 
 Malay words which are wanting in the eastern dialects. The Tongan 
 in particular has several Fiji traits not found elsewhere in Polynesia. 
 
 The Fiji or Viti seems to form the transition between Polynesian 
 and Papuan, where the two streams of colonization met and mingled. 
 The principles of its grammar and one-fifth of its words are Poly- 
 nesian. Among the remaining four-fifths are several pure Malay words, 
 such as vula, the moon, lako, to go, masima, salt, etc., while many of 
 its peculiar words are also found in the Kingsmill group, and some, 
 for instance, dra, blood, kana, to eat, tina, mother, can even be traced 
 into Micronesia. The Kingsmill group, as far as. its language is con- 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 cerned, has a closer connection with Polynesia than Micronesia, though 
 considerably modified by mixture with the latter as well as with the 
 black race. Together with the Fiji and Rotuman it retains some char- 
 acteristics of eastern Malaysia, particularly of Aru-Sambawa, and even 
 some traces of Au&tralian. The native traditions show that they are 
 a mixed race sprung from Samoan and Micronesian colonists. 
 
 At the southeast extremity of Polynesia the Paumotu or Dangerous 
 Archipelago, presents a curious problem for the philologist. While the 
 grammar and most of the vocabulary is Tahitian, the numerals and a 
 large number of the most common words, are utterly unlike every other 
 Oceanic language with which we are acquainted, although Logan finds 
 many of them "recognizable as Indonesian or Indian words." Their 
 canoes and some of their manufactures are of the Micronesian pattern, 
 though there is nothing in their language that points in that direction. 
 
 A few words should be added on the peculiar genius and structure 
 of the Polynesian language in general, and of the Hawaiian dialect in 
 particular. 
 
 It is a law of all Polynesian languagea that every word and syllable 
 must end in a vowel, so that no two consonants are ever heard without 
 a vowel sound between them. Most of the radical words are disyllables, 
 and the accent is generally on the penult. The Polynesian ear is as 
 nice in marking the slightest variations of vowel sound as it is dull in 
 distinguishing consonants. No Polynesian dialect, for instance, makes 
 any distinction between b and p, d and t, g and k, I and r, or v and w. 
 Besides I is often sounded like d, and t like k, which latter was un- 
 fortunately adopted in the written language of the Hawaiian islands 
 to repres.ent the same element which is represented by t throughout 
 the rest of Polynesia. 
 
 As was said before, the laws which regulate the changes of conso- 
 nants in the different dialects are remarkably uniform. In Hawaiian 
 both f and s are changed into h, ng is softened into n, k at the be- 
 ginning of a word is dropped, but in the middle of a word is repre- 
 sented by a peculiar guttural catch or break, and w is used for v, 
 though the sx)und is properly intermediate between the two. 
 
 The following table from Hale shows the number of consonants in 
 each dialect, and the changes which they undergo in passing from one 
 dialect to another. The guttural break, which takes the place of k, 
 is represented by an apostrophe.'

INTRODUCTION 
 
 The vowels undergo but few changes, and these chiefly in conse- 
 quence of consonant changes. Fetu, a star, and fenua, land, in Hawaiian 
 become hoku, and honua, and the omission of k produces similar changes, 
 so that meika, a banana, becomes mai'a, and meitaki, good, becomes 
 maika'l. It will be observed that in consonant sounds the Hawaiian is. 
 one of the softest and most attenuated of the dialects, being surpassed 
 in that respect only by the effeminate Marquesan. The following ex- 
 amples s.how the changes which words undergo in passing from one 
 dialect to another.

 The vocabulary of the Hawaiian is probably richer than that of 
 most other Oceanic tongues. Its childlike and primitive character is 
 shown by the absence of abstract words and general terms. As has 
 been well observed by M. Gaussin, there are three classes, of words, 
 corresponding to as many different stages of language: 1, those that 
 express sensations; 2, images, and 3, abstract ideas. The Polynesian 
 vocabulary was originally composed chiefly of words of the first two 
 classes. As languages grow older, words acquire a figurative s.ense, 
 and the original meaning is gradually forgotten. In English, for instance, 
 how many are aware that tribulation originally meant threshing, re- 
 spect, looking back, reveal to draw back a veil, affront to strike in the 
 face, and insult to leap upon the body of a prostrate foe? There were 
 comparatively few Hawaiian words that had gone through this process. 
 
 Not only are names wanting for the more general abs.tractions, such 
 as space, nature and fate, but there are very few generic terms. For 
 example there is no generic term for animal, expressing the whole class 
 of living creatures, or for insects or for colors. At the same time it 
 abounds in specific names and in nice distinctions. 
 
 The first step in the formation of language was no doubt the em- 
 ployment of particular names to denote individual objects. It was 
 only afterwards by a process of abstraction that these individual ob- 
 jects were classified by those qualities which are common to a number 
 of them. It is from the specific that we ascend to the general. The 
 same principle applies to verbs or names of actions as well as to 
 nouns. The savage has in his mind a picture of the whole action, and 
 does not always abstract or separate the principal circumstance from 
 the accessory details. This is true of uncultivated languages in general, 
 and is not peculiar to Hawaiian, Thus the Javanese has ten words to 
 express as many different modes of standing, and twenty of sitting. 
 The Fijian has. sixteen words meaning to strike, and eight to wash, 
 "according as it affects the head, face, hands, feet or body of an indi- 
 vidual, or his clothes, dishes or floor." So in Hawaiian everything that 
 relates to their every-day life or to the natural objects with which they 
 
 xvi 
 
INTRODUCTION 
 
 were conversant is expressed with a vivacity, a minuteness and nicety 
 of coloring which cannot be reproduced in a foreign tongue. Thus the 
 Hawaiian was very rich in terms for every variety of clouds„ It has 
 names for every species of plant on the mountains or fish in the sea, 
 and is peculiarly copious in terms relating to the ocean, the surf and 
 waves. The ancient Hawaiians were evidently close observers of 
 nature. For whatever belonged to their religion, their wars, their 
 domestic life, their handicrafts or their amusements, their vocabulary 
 was most copious and minute. Almost every stick in a native house 
 had its appropriate name. Hence it abounds in synonyms, which, how- 
 ever, are such only in appearance, and on which a volume might be 
 written. To be broken as a string is moku, to be broken as a dish 
 naha, as a stick haki, to fall from an upright to a horizontal position 
 as a wall is hina, to fall from a height through the air haule; auamo 
 means to carry on the shoulder with a stick, kaikai in the hands, hii 
 as a child in the arms, koi on a stick between two men, haawe on the 
 back, and hali to carry in general. 
 
 Besides the language of everyday life, there was a style appropri- 
 ate to oratory, and another to religion and poetry. This latter is 
 known to but few natives of the pres.ent generation, and is fast dis- 
 appearing. The same thing is taking place in New Zealand and Tahiti. 
 
 The above-mentioned characteristics make it a pictorial and ex- 
 pressive language. It still has the freshness of childhood. Its words 
 are pictures rather than colorless and abstract symbols of ideas, and 
 are redolent of the mountain, the forest and the surf. It was com- 
 pletely adapted to the country and the circle of ideas, in which the 
 people lived, and bore no trace of a higher civilization or of foreign 
 influence. Far be it from us, however, to deny its capability for higher 
 development. Its characteristics are such as belong to all languages 
 in a certain stage of growth. It has been and ia successfully used to 
 express the abstractions of mathematics, of English law, and of theology.

 ^Laieikawai to which reference is made in this Dictionary is S. N. 
 Haleole's Ke Kaao o Laieikawai which was printed in Honolulu, in 1863. 
 It has long been out of print but copies may be found in Honolulu in 
 the libraries of Mr. G. R. Carter, Bishop Museum, and that of the 
 Hawaiian Historical Society which is located in the Library of Hawaii. 
 
 A translation of Haleole's work was made by Martha Warren Beck- 
 with and published in the Thirty-third Annual Report of the Bureau of 
 American Ethnology. It was reprinted separately by the Government 
 Printing Office, Washington, D. C, in 1918.

 DIACRITICAL MARKS 
 
 The macron (") is used to mark long or normal vowels, as: a, e, i, o, u. 
 
 The breve (') is used to indicate the short sounds of Hawaiian vowels, 
 as: a, e, i, 6, CI. 
 
 The glottal closure (') indicates an interruption of a sound that prevents 
 two vowels from coalescing (see p. xv). According to current usage 
 the first person singular pronoun and its possessive (a'u, o'u, ka'u, 
 ko'u, na'u, no'u, ia'u, and io'u) always retain the glottal closure in 
 writing and printing. (See Alexander's Hawaiian Grammar, p. 15, 1920.) 
 
 THE HAWAIIAN ALPHABET 
 
 There are twelve letters in the Hawaiian alphabet: a, e, h, i, k, 1, m, 
 n, o, p, u, and w. 
 
 The consonants, h, k, 1, m, n, and p, are pronounced as in English. 
 W has two sounds: 
 
 1. Of the English w in way, as: Waikiki (geographic name) and 
 wela (heat). This sound is retained even when the word is 
 compounded, as: Kaalawai (geographic name meaning the 
 waterway). 
 
 2. In the middle of a word or after the first syllable it almost 
 
 always has the sound of the English v as in valor, as: Ewa 
 (geographic name) and hewa (wrong). Compounded words 
 mentioned In (1) are of course exceptions to this rule. 
 
 The vowels are: 
 a (a)=a in father mamo (ma'-mo). A Hawaiian bird. 
 
 hale (ha'-le). House, 
 a (a)=a in liable maka (ma'-ka). Eye. 
 
 ama (a'-ma). Talkative, 
 e (e)^a in mate meha (me'-ha). Loneliness. 
 
 olelo (o-le'-lo). Language, 
 e (e)=e in net • Ewa (e'-va). Geographic name. 
 
 eli (e'-li). To dig. 
 i (i)=i in police lio (li'-o). Horse. 
 
 milo (mi'-lo). A tree. 
 1 (i)=i in hill mimilo (mi-mi'-lo). A whirlpool. 
 
 eli (e'-li). To dig. 
 o (6)=o in old loa (lo'-a). Long. 
 
 aloha (a-lo'-ha). Love. 
 (6)==o in old but not so prolonged, .loko (16'-ko). Lake. 
 
 moha (m6-ha'). Bright, shining. 
 a (li)^o in moon hula (hu'-la). To dance. 
 
 luna (lu'-na). Overseer. 
 u (ii)^Approximates the sound 
 
 of u in full mukumuku (mCi'-kii-mii'-ku) . To cut 
 
 into pieces. 
 
 pukiki.(pu-ki'-ki'). A strong wind.

GUIDE TO PRONUNCIATION 
 
 There are no true diphthongs in Hawaiian but for the European ae, 
 ai, ao, au, ei, ia, and ua, may be so classed. Where the stress falls upon 
 the first letter of the diphthong, it is so marked, as: aihaha (a'i-ha'-ha'). 
 Where the diphthong itself is stressed, the accent is after the second let- 
 ter, as: ahuwaiwai (a-hu-wai'-wai). 
 
 MISCELLANEOUS RULES FOR PRONUNCIATION 
 
 The causative hoo, to cause to be done, does not change the accent 
 of a verb. 
 
 The sign of the passive voice is "ia" — pronounced i'a. 
 
 Reduplicated words follow the accent of their primitives, as: kuhi- 
 kuhi (ku'-hi-ku'-hi) from ku'-hi; and helohelo (he'-16-he'-16) from he'-16. 
 
 Every Hawaiian word ends with a vowel, and in general such vowel 
 has a short sound and requires no mark to indicate its phonetic char- 
 acter. Exceptions to this general rule are noted with the proper marks. 
 
 Every Hawaiian syllable ends in a vowel, as: Kamehameha (Ka-me'- 
 ha-me'-ha). 
 
A DICTIONARY 
 
 OF THE 
 
 HAWAIIAN LANGUAGE 
 
 A (a). The first letter of the Ha- 
 waiian alphabet. 
 
 A (a), adj. Fiery; burning: he lua 
 a, a fiery pit. 
 
 A (a), adv. When; then; there; 
 until. With verbs in a narrative 
 tense, it signifies when, and when, 
 etc.: as, a hiki mai ia, when he 
 arrived. . With nei it signifies a 
 designation of place: as, mai a nei 
 aku, from here (this place) on- 
 ward. Until: as, noho oia malaila 
 a make; he lived there until he 
 died. (A nei is often written as 
 one word, and then it signifies 
 here, or the present place.) 
 
 A when pronounced with a pro- 
 tracted sound, signifies a pro- 
 tracted period of time, or dis- 
 tance, or a long continued action: 
 as, holo ae la ia a — a hiki i ka 
 aina kahiki; he sailed a long time, 
 or a long distance, until he reached 
 a foreign country. 
 
 A (a), conj. And; then; and when. 
 When it connects verbs, it usually 
 stands by itself; as, holo ka waa, 
 a komo iho, the canoe sailed and 
 sank. When it connects nouns, it 
 is usually joined with me; as, 
 haawi mai oia i ka ai a me ke 
 kapa, he furnished food and cloth- 
 ing. A with me signifies and, and 
 also, besides, together with, etc. 
 When emphatic, it is merely a dis- 
 junctive. In narration, it frequent- 
 ly stands at the beginning of sen- 
 tences or paragraphs, and merely 
 refers to what has been said, with- 
 out any very close connection with 
 it. In many cases it is apparently 
 euphonic or seems to answer no 
 purpose, except as a preparatory 
 sound to something that may fol- 
 low; as, akahi no oukou a hele 
 i keia ala, before you have passed 
 this road. 
 
 A (a), interj. Lo; behold. An ex- 
 pression of surprise, disappoint- 
 
 ment, astonishment or admiration. 
 It is similar in meaning to aia hoi, 
 eia hoi, aia ka. 
 
 A (a), n. 1. The jawbone; the cheek 
 bone: a luna, upper jaw; a lalo, 
 lower jaw, 2. An instrument made 
 of smooth bone formerly used for 
 abortion. It was called the a oo, 
 the piercing a; also koholua. 
 3. An instrument used for bleed- 
 ing. 4. White spots that appear 
 in poi when it is pounded. 5. A 
 large sea bird often caught by 
 natives; also called aaianuheakane 
 (feathers white). Worshiped as 
 an aumakua or guardian. 6. A 
 small fish that bites at a hook; 
 called also aakimakau. 7. The Ha- 
 waiian alphabet; also the first 
 sheet on which it was printed. 
 8. Broken lava (probably so called 
 from being burnt. See A, v.): 
 Ke a o Kaniku a me Napuuapele. 
 
 A (a), prep. Of; to; in connection 
 with motion, e hoi oe a ka hale, 
 return to the house, (hiki i is 
 understood). — Laieik. p. 12. Unto; 
 at; belonging. It designates the 
 properties of relation, possession 
 and place; and is often synony- 
 mous with o, but generally dis- 
 tinct, giving another shade of 
 meaning and implying a closer 
 connection. 
 
 A (a), V, 1. To burn, as a fire: ua a 
 mai ke ahi, the fire burns; ua a 
 mai ke ahi ma ka waha; the fire 
 burned in their mouths. 2. To

 Hoo (ho'o). Causative prefix to verbs; 
 as, malu, to shade, hoomalu, to 
 cause a shade, to over-shadow; 
 pono, good, right, hoopono, to cor- 
 rect, to make right; akea, to be 
 broad, hooakea or hoakea, to cause 
 to be broad, that is, to extend, en- 
 large, etc. 
 
 This prefix, though originally 
 adapted to the verb, retains its 
 causative meaning when the word 
 becomes a noun, adjective or ad- 
 verb. Ua hele oia i ka hoike, he 
 has gone to the exhibition; he 
 kanaka hoopunipuni, a man caus- 
 ing deception, that is, a deceitful 
 man; olelo hooino iho la, he spoke 
 causing reproach, that is, he 
 spoke reproachfully. 
 
 Before words whose first letter 
 is a vowel, the last o of the hoo 
 frequently coalesces with the vow- 
 el of the word following, for the 
 sake of euphony, particularly be- 
 
 fore a, e and o; as, hoano for 
 hooano; hoole for hooole, etc. Some 
 words have haa (but very seldom) 
 for their causative prefix instead 
 of hoo; as, haaheo for hooheo 
 (from heo, pride), to be haughty. 
 This form seems to come from 
 the Tahitiian dialect. A few 
 words take both forms for their 
 causative, as hoonui and haanui, 
 from nui, to be large. Hoawi, to 
 give, is used for hooawi, but haawi 
 is used oftener than either. 
 
 Strictly speaking, hoo in a dic- 
 tionary should not begin a verb, 
 but verbs having this prefix 
 should be set in their places, and 
 their meanings be modified by 
 hoo as it occurs; as, ike, to know, 
 etc hooike or hoike, to cause to 
 know, to show, to exhibit; ikeia, 
 to be known, hooikeia, to be made 
 known, to be shown; ikeike, to 
 know clearly; hooikeike, to make 
 known clearly or frequently, etc. 
 But a large class of words begin 
 with the causative prefix hoo, 
 whose roots are not known or are 
 out of use. Though such a root 
 might be assumed as being in ex- 
 istence or having once existed, as 
 Greek lexicographers often as- 
 sume an obsolete theme, there 
 would be much danger in Hawaii- 
 an of getting the wrong word: 
 hence it has seemed advisable to 
 retain hoo as the beginning of 
 the word. This occasions some 
 repetition, but it is hoped it will 
 not be a serious inconvenience. 
 
 This prefix always takes the 
 
 glottal sound.

HAWAIIAN PLACE NAMES' 
 
 By THOMAS G. THRUM 
 
 Due to the antiquity of some of the names and the lack of familiarity 
 with the character and traditions of certain localities not a few defini- 
 tions are given literally. In the Hawaiian language differences in word 
 division and accent imply differences in meanings, hence effort has been 
 made to record the current pronunciation as the basis of this work. 
 
 For verification of spelling, pronunciation, and definition, valuable 
 aid has been rendered by Lyle A. Dickey, Joseph S. Emerson. Theodore 
 Kelsey, J. M. Lydgate, Stephen Mahaulu. Mrs. E. Lahilahi Webb,
