The Hawaiian tongue evolves


Advertiser Books Editor Wanda Adams notes the publication of MAMAKA KAIAO: A Modern Hawaiian Vocabulary: "This is a book as necessary to any serious student of the Hawaiian language as the all-important Pukui-Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary. This one collects the many words that do not appear in that dictionary, or whose meaning has changed or been added to since that work was codified (huka — hook in Pukui-Elbert — today also means zipper). Also included are a large body of words that have been created to describe modern things or concepts (i.e. kamepiula, computer)."

MAMAKA KAIAO: A Modern Hawaiian Vocabulary, Komike Hua'olelo, Hale Kuamo'o, 'Aha Punana Leo; University of Hawai'i Press, $42, cloth, $15.95 paper
