Valuable reference

Have owned this book for several years. Comes in handy for all manner of translation

A great little resource.

This book has around 11,000 words with adequate definitions.I like the fact that the people that compiled this dictionary included names and even a guide to assist in pronounciation.This nook is not an exhaustive researh on the Hawaiian language; but will greatly assist in research; Two Bears.Aloha nui loa (I love you very much).
