Created and compiled by Kōmike Hua`ōlelo
With support from Hale Kuamo`o  and `Aha Pūnana Leo

As a complement to the Pukui/Elbert Hawaiian Dictionary, the 2003 edition of Māmaka Kaiao adds to the 1998 edition more than 1,000 new and contemporary words that are essential to the continuation and growth of ka `ōlelo Hawai`i--the Hawaiian language. Kōmike Hua`ōlelo (Hawaiian Lexicon Committee) was established in 1987 to create words for concepts and material culture unknown in traditional Hawai`i.
"Necessary to any serious student of the Hawaiian language" --Honolulu Advertiser

"If you need the correct Hawaiian word for a scientific concept like plate tectonics (ku`ina una honua) or an everyday necessity like cappuccino (kapukino), this is your book!" --Hawaii Island Journal
