| Dictionary of the
Hawaiian Language |
| by Lorrin Andrews |
 |
| A faithful
reproduction of Andrews' work, this edition includes introductions by Noenoe K. Silva,
Ph.D. and Albert J. Shutz, Ph.D. The roots of A Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language go
back to the late 1820s, when Lorrin Andrews arrived in Hawai'i and began a systematic
study of Hawaiian, which grew into a love of the language that was to continue for forty
years. In 1865, Lorrin Andrews' A Dictionary of the Hawaiian Language was produced with
its purpose of assisting speakers using a living language. This resourceful dictionary
provides a rare and valuable glimpse into mid-nineteenth century Hawaiian culture and
thought. To preserve authenticity of the original dictionary, the content has not been
changed, with the exception of obvious English misspellings, therefore the okina
(distinguishing glottal stops) and the kahako (distinguishing long vowels) used in present
day are not included in the book. |
