Posted by UH Press
pukui-dictionary-rev2Hawaiian Dictionary: Hawaiian-English, English-Hawaiian (Revised and Enlarged Edition), by Mary Kawena Pukui; Samuel H. Elbert

"This standard work of reference... continues offering the happy blend of grammar and lexicon." --American Reference Books Annual

For decades, Hawaiian Dictionary has been the definitive and authoritative work on the Hawaiian language. This indispensible reference volume was enlarged and completely revised in 1986. More than 3,000 new entries were 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. More than a dictionary, it contains folklore, poetry, and ethnology, and will benefit Hawaiian studies for many years to come.

    Seeing this book on this site sort of raises the bar quite a few notches for the rest of us. It's like the Bible.
