He !oli mau nā 'Olelo ola a pau o ka honua nei, a pēlā pū ka 'Olelo Hawai'i.
No !aila, i mea e kokua ai i ka po'e 'Olelo Hawai'i a pau o kēia au, ke pa'i hou

No nā haumāna 'Olelo Hawai'i, 'a'ole lawa ho'okahi wale no puke wehewehe

Hālāwai nā lālā o ke Komike Hua'olelo ma waena o 'ehā a me 'eono manawa

Inā pili kekahi papa hua'Olelo i ke kumuhana e pono ai ka 'ike a kekahi po'e

Aia ma lalo iho ne.i kekahi mau kulekele e hahai ai ke Komike i ka h.aku

1. E ho'ololi iki i ka pela 'ana o kekahi hua'Olelo i pa'i 'ia ma ka puke

wehewehe 'Olelo. 'O nā !oli ma'amau, 'o ia ka ho'okomo a wehe 'ana paha i
kekahi kahako, a i 'ole, ka ho'ohui a ho'oka'awale 'ana paha i kekahi mau
māhele o ka hua'Olelo a māpuna 'Olelo paha. Ua ho'ohana 'ia ke kah.ako ma
nā hua'olelo e like me "hāpaina" (carrier) a me "kāka'ikahi" (few), a ua
 x

ho'oka'awale 'ia ka pela 'ana i nā hua'Olelo e like me "a pau" (ali) a me "me
he" (as if).

2. E ho'opa'a i kekahi hua'Olelo i lohe 'ia mai ka mānaleo mai i pa'a 'ole na'e
i Joko o ka puke wehewehe 'Olelo, a i 'ole, i pa'a 'ole ia mana'o a ka mānaleo
ma ka puke wehewehe 'Olelo. 'O "ho'ohapo" (Jeign ignorance), "kāka'ahi"
(deal, as cards), a me '"alo'ahia" (stress) kekahi o nā hua'Olelo a nā mānaleo i

4. E pāku'i i kekahi pāku'ina kau mua a kau hope paha i kekahi hua'Olelo. ·o
kēia no ho'i kekahi hana ma'amau ma ka 'Olelo Hawai'i, a ua ho'ohana 'ia nā
pāku'ina kahiko me ka haku pa i kekahi mau pāku'ina hou. No ka loa·a 'ana
o ka mana'o concentrated, ua pāku'i 'ia ·o "-hia" i ka hua'Olelo 'o "pa'apū"
(pa'apahia), a !aila, i mea e loa'a ai ka mana'o to concentrate, make less dilute,
ua pāku'i 'ia 'o "ho'o-" i kēia hua'Olelo ho'okahi (ho'opa'apahia). Ua
ho'ohana 'ia ho'i ka pāku'ina kau hope 'o "-na" ma kekahi mau hua'Olelo no
ka ho'ololi 'ana i kekahi hamani paha a i kikino, e like me "pāku'ina" (affix;
pāku'i + -na) a me "koina" (requirement; koi + -na). Ua lilo ka hua'Olelo 'o
"kālai" i pāku'ina kau mua hou no ka hO'ike 'ana i ka mana'o -ology, the
scientific study of Pēlā i loa'a ai nā hua'Olelo hou e like me "kālaiaopaku"
(physical science) a me "kālaianiau" (climatology).

5. E wehewehe i ka mana'o o kekahi hua'Olelo a māpuna 'Olelo paha ma o nā

hua'Olelo Hawai'i. Ua ho'ohana nui 'ia kēia kulekele, no ka mea, inā Johe a
heluhelu 'ia paha kekahi māpuna 'Olelo "hou" i haku 'ia me kēia, e maopopo
koke ana paha ka mana'o i ka mea lohe a heluhelu paha. Eia kekahi mau

no ka mana'o o nā hua'Olelo e like me "eaea" (aerated), "haumia" (pollution),
"kaulua" (do11ble, in math), a me "lakolako" (computer accessories), a ua
hā'awi 'ia kekahi mana'o hou i nā hua'Olelo e like me "oho" (capillary),
"muku" (tight end, in footba/1), a me "palaholo" (gel).

9. E ho'ohana i kekahi hua'Olelo a hapa hua'Olelo Polenekia paha me kona

mana'o piha, a i 'ole, me ka ho'ololi iki 'ia.·o "pounamu" (jade) kekahi
hua'Olelo Māori i lawekahiki 'ia mai me ka pela ·ana a me ka mana·o Māori.
Ua ho'ohana 'ia ka hua'olelo Lalokona 'o "ma'aka" (nui) ma ka māpuna

(li'ili'i) ma ka māpuna 'Olelo 'o "hua na'ina'i" (lower-case letter). 1 kekahi
manawa, lawekahiki 'ia ka mana'o o kekahi hua'Olelo Polenekia me ka
ho'ololi iki a ho'ohawai'i 'ia paha o ka pela 'ana, e like me "kokaha"
(condensation) mai ka hua'Oleolo Māori 'o "!Otā," a me "ha'uki" (sport) mai
ka hua'Olelo Polapola 'o "ha'uti." Ua ho'oku'i 'ia no ho'i kekahi mau

The Words
Living languages throughout the world are in a state of constant change and
growth, and so it is with the Hawaiian language. Therefore, in order to
provide assistance to ali Hawaiian-language speakers in this new era,
Mllmaka Kaiao is once again being printed to serve as a companion to the
Hawaiian Dictionary by Pūku"i and Elbert.
For Hawaiian-language students, one dictionary is no longer sufficient
because these two volumes serve different purposes. The Hawaiian
Dictionary provides invaluable information about Hawaiian vocabulary from
the earliest days of recording the language up to the 1980s, but it is the task of
Mllmaka Kaiao to make available to the general public the new vocabulary
that is being created by the Hawaiian Lexicon Committee.

Members of the Lexicon Committee generally meet from four to six times
each year to discuss new vocabulary for the Hawaiian language. Most of the
words that are brought up for discussion are words which are not found in
the Hawaiian Dictionary but are needed when writing or translating a lesson,
a story or article, a book, or any other document in the Hawaiian language.

Because today's educational curricula involve many new concepts which lack
equivalent Hawaiian terms in the Hawaiian Dictionary, development of the
Hawaiian-immersion curriculum has resulted in the emergence of many
new terms related to new fields of knowledge. The creators or translators of
educational materials are generally the ones who bring the new words they
have created before the Committee for discussion, approval, and
dissemination.

If a particular vocabulary list concems a subject which requires the knowledge

of an expert in the field, such experts are invited to the meeting. If sufficient
information is available in dictionaries or other resource materials, or is
within the scope of knowledge of members of the Committee, then these
resources are utilized so that the concept or meaning of the terms will be
clearly understood before decisions are made conceming what Hawaiian
word or term is most suitable.

Listed below are guidelines which are commonly used by the Committee to
create the new words which are included in Mllmaka Kaiao. Although the
creation of new words is not limited to these guidelines, they do describe how
most of the new words have been created.

1. Make minor changes to a word which already appears in the dictionary.

The most common changes are to either insert or delete a kahako, or to join
or separate parts of a word or term. A kahakiJ has been added to words like
 xvii i

hllpaina (carrier) and kllka'ikahi (few), while terms like a pau (ali) and me he
(as if) have been written as two words instead of one.

2. Record a word which is used by native speakers bul is not found in the
dictionary, or one which appears in the dictionary but is used by native
speakers with a meaning which is different from that listed in the dictionary.
Words like ho'ohapo (feign ignorance), kaka'ahi (deal, as cards), and 'alo'ahia
(stress) have been used by n<!tive speakers but are not found in the dictionary,
while the words huka (zipper), maka'aha (screen), and nemonemo (bald, as a
tire) appear in the dictionary but without the particular meanings used by
native speakers being included.
3. Use reduplication of an existing word in order to alter or extend the
meaning. This is a common practice in Hawaiian vocabulary development
and has been done to create words like a/ialia (coincidence) from ulia, hohoki
(neutral) from hoki, and monamona (dessert) from first shortening momona
and then expanding it through reduplication.
4. Add either a prefix or a suffix to an existing word. This,f too, is a common
way of forrning new words in Hawaiian, and traditional af ixes have been
used by the Committee as well as new ones created to fill specific needs. In
order to create a word which means "concentrated," the traditional suffix -hia
was added to the word pa'apa, and then, in order to arrive at the meaning "to
concentrate, make less dilute," the traditionaJ prefix ho'o- was added to form
the word ho'opa·apahia. The traditional suffix -na has also been used to
change verbs to nouns, such as adding it to pllku'i (append) to form the word
pllku'ina (affix, in gramrnar), and to koi (require) to forrn the word koina
(requirement). The word ka/ai (intellectual policy) has been transformed into
a prefix meaning "-ology, the scientific study of." With this meaning, it has
been used to form new words such as killaiaopaku (physical science) and
ka/aianiau (climatology).

5. Explain the meaning of a word or term by using Hawaiian words. This

guideline has been used rather extensively because when the "new" term is
encounte.red by a speaker of Hawaiian, its meaning should be rather easily
grasped even if the reader or listener is not familiar with the English word or
term. The following are some terms which have been created using this
guideline: ala mOlehu (crepuscular), uila mllhu pele (geothermal electricity),
kuhi hewa o ka maka (optical illusion), and ·otelo kuhi lima 'Amelika
(American Sign Language).
6. Combine Hawaiian words to create a new word. This guideline is
somewhat similar to the previous one with the main difference being that
the meaning will probably not be immediately apparent to a speaker of
Hawaiian because it may not be obvious even when recognizing the separate
parts of the word. Examples of words formed using this guideline are
 xix

hamulau (herbivore), ka"a"ike (communication), kopia (carbohydrate), and

poelele (satellite).

7. Combine Hawaüan words while shortening at Jeast one of the words.

Although this guideline has been used for a number of math and science
terms, it is also used for new words in a variety of other areas. Some words
that have been created in this way include: analahi (regular, as in shape)
which was formed by adding ana to a shortened ma·atahi; ikehu (energy)
which was formed by combining ika and ehu; /ahulu (species) which comes
from a shortened 111hui plus hulu; and mo"olako (inventory) which comes
from mo·ote/o and lako.

8. Extend the meaning of a word which is already found in the dictionary, or

give an existing word a new meaning. Words whose meanings have been
extended to create new terms include eaea (aerated), haumia (pollution),
kaulua (double, in math), and lakolako (computer accessories), while new
meanings have been given to the words oho (capiJJary), muku (tight end, in
football), and palaho/o (gel).

9. Use a word or part of a word from another Polynesian language with its
meaning intact or slightly changed. The word pounamu (jade) is a Māori
word which has been borrowed without changing its spelling or meaning.
The Rarotongan word ma"aka, meaning "big," is used in the term hua ma'aka
(capital letter), while the Tahitian word na"ina'i, meaning "small," is used in
the term hua na"ina'i (lower-case letter). Sometimes words from other
Polynesian Janguages are borrowed with changes in spelling to better fit
Hawaüan orthography, such as kokaha (condensation) from the Māori word
tota, and ha'uki (sport) from the Tahitian word ha'uti. Hawaüan words are
also sometimes combined with other Polynesian words, such as hakuika
(mollusk) from the Hawaiian word haku (pohaku) and kuita, a Proto Eastem
Oceanic word meaning "sqwd." The word makahi"o (explore) was created by
combining the Hawaüan word maka (eye) with the Tahitian word hi'o (look).

10. Hawaiianize the orthography of a word or term from a non-Polynesian

language. Many English words have been Hawaiianized since earliest contact
with the English language, and the Committee continues this practice with
words such as naelona (nylon), 'akika tanika (tannic acid), and 'okikene
(oxygen). Lexical borrowing is not lirnited to English, however.
Hawaüanization also extends to words from a variety of other languages such
as kaimine from the Japanese word saimin, kokei"a (prairie dog) from the Ute
word tocey·a, lalinoka (hieroglyph) from the Assyrian word rahleenos, and
·oma (Maine lobster) from the French word homard.

Not ali of the words and terms included in Mamaka Kaiao have been created
by the Committee, however. There are also words which are already
established Hawaüan vocabulary, and therefore may also be found in the
Hawaiian Diclionary.
 xx

There are several reasons for having included these words. Perhaps the
primary reason is that when the Committee looks at a vocabulary list
developed for a particular subject, although most of the terms may require
the creation of new Hawaiian vocabulary, some words already exist and may
be included merely as an aid to anyone using Mllmaka Kaiao to find
vocabulary related to this particular subject. Another reason for including
vocabulary that can be found in another dictionary is that there may be more
than one word with the same or a similar meaning, and the Committee feels
that a certain word would be most appropriate for use in a particular context.

Although not a common occurrence, there are also a few words which have
been created by the Committee in spite of the fact that Hawaiian words with
the same meaning already exist in the dictionary. l n most cases, the
Committee felt that the ructionary words are not in general use today and
other words could be created by the Committee wruch would more accurately
reflect contemporary concepts being described, thus providing Hawaiian­
language speakers with additional vocabulary choices.

For each entry in the first section of the vocabulary, words are classified as
hamani (transitive verb), hehele (intransitive verb), ·a·ano (stative verb),
kikino (common noun), or i'oa (proper noun), and following the definition
of the word in English, the derivation or origin of the word is indicated. Trus
etymology not only gives the reader a better understanding of where the word
came from or how it was created., but it may also help to give a better
understanding of its meaning.

lnnumerable hours have been spent ruscussing all of the words wruch appear
in Mllmaka Kaiao. No single word has been approved without first being
discussed, often extensively, and in order to ensure that the word or term is
the best one that the Committee is able to create, each word or term must be
approved and reapproved at two different Committee meetings.

Members of the Committee realize, however, that every approved word

cannot be a perfect choice, and as time passes the desire to revisit previously
approved words frequently arises in order to try to find an even better choice.
But because of the seemingly endless number of words and terms stili waiting
for Hawaiian equivalents to be created, changes are usually approved only
when new information shows that a previously approved word or term may
be inaccurate.

So the Hawaiian Lexicon Committee continues to meet several times each

year in its attempt to provide new Hawaiian words and terms which will
truly help to carry (mllmaka) the Hawaiian language into a new dawn (kaiao)
in the twenty-first century.
Hawaiian Alphabetical Order
Entries in the first section of Mllmaka Kaiao, i.e. the Hawaiian-English
section, have been arranged according to the Hawaüan alphabet, and it is
important to understand this alphabetization in order to facilitate finding
words in this section. The following is the standard order of the Hawaüan
alphabet:

a e 1 o u h k l m n p w

So if you are looking for the word u/a/1i, for example, you must Jook in the
beginning of the section directly following a, e, i, and o, but before h.

Be carefuJ, however, because there are many Hawaiian words which begin
with the 'okina ('), so although ulahi is found toward the beginning of the
Hawaüan-English section before h, 'aomo is found at the back of the section
following w since the first letter of ·aomo is the 'okina.

Words beginning with letters of the English alphabet which are not in the
standard Hawaiian alphabet will be found after the 'okina at the end of the
Hawaüan-English section in the following order:

b c d f gJ q r s t v x y z

Another important thing to remember is that ali of the letters of a word are
considered when alphabetizing a word, not just the first letter. Therefore, the
word ka'aiemi will be found after the word kawaho since the third letter of
ka'aiemi is the 'oki11a while the third letter of kawaho is w, and the 'okina
foUows w in the Hawaiian alphabet.

Only the kahaklJ is generally not considered in Hawaüan alphabetization

except when the presence or lack of a kahaklJ is the only difference in the
spelling of two words. lf that is the case, then the word without the kahaklJ
precedes the word with the kahakll, as in mika, mlka, and mikli.

So until you become accustomed to finding words listed according to

Hawaiian alphabetical order, be careful not to jump to the conclusion that a
word is not included in Mllmaka Kaiao when it may be that you are simply
not looking in the correct location for the particular word.
The Hawaiian Lexicon Committee
The first Hawaiian Lexicon Committee (KOmike Hua'Olelo) was established
in 1987 to create words for concepts and material culture unknown to our
ancestors. Committee members were native speakers of Hawaiian, most of
them elderly, who saw the value in and the need for creating new Hawaiian
words. Elama Kanahele, Lani Kapuni, Albert Like, Josephine Lindsey, Joseph
Maka'ai, Sarah Nākoa, and Helen Wahineokai were assisted by recorders
Kalani Akana, Kana'i Kapeliela, Haunani Makuakāne-Drechsel, and Leinani
Raffipiy.

Although some of these first committee members have passed on, the fruits
of their labor forrn the foundation upon which the present committee's work
is based.

Present committee members include Larry Kimura (committee chair; Ka

Haka 'Ula O Ke'elikOlani at Hilo), Hokūlani Cleeland (Mamaka Kaiao editor;
Ke Kula Ni'ihau O Kekaha on Kaua'i), Kamaui Aiona (representing the Maui
community), Lokahi Antonio (Maui Community College), Keoni Kelekolio
(Ka Haka 'Ula O Ke'elikolani), Kaliko Trapp (Ke Kula ·o Nāwahlokalani­
'Opu'u in Kea'au), as well as Ipo Wong and Laiana Wong (University of
Hawai'i at Mānoa).

Gratitude is also due to past members who have served on the committee for
the benefit of the Hawaiian language: Keao NeSmith and No'eau Warner
(University of Hawai'i at Mānoa), Kalena Silva and William H. Wilson (Ka
Haka 'Ula O Ke'elikOlani), and Kamoa'e Walk (Brigham Young University at
Lā'ie), and two pro tern members, ffiapo Perreira (Ka Haka 'Ula O
Ke'elikolani) and Kaleionālani Shintani (Ke Kula Ni'ihau O Kekaha).

Ali of these members of the Hawaiian Lexicon Committee, both past and
present, have unselfishly donated their time and effort because of their deep
love and concern for the Hawaiian language and a desire to see it once again
spoken at ali times in ali places.
