Excerpt from A Short Synopsis of the Most Essential Points in Hawaiian GrammarAs all former grammars of the Hawaiian language are out of print, at the solicitation of friends, I have revised and enlarged a brief synopsis of Hawaiian grammar, which was originally written for my pupils, and published in 1864.This little work does not pretend to be a philo Sophical treatise, or to be a complete account of the structure and peculiarities of the Hawaiian branch of the Polynesian language. But it is hoped that it may be of service to those who wish to study the genuine, uncorrupted idiom as spoken by the older Hawai ians, as well as to students of comparative philology.The terms and divisions of European grammars have been retained for the convenience of students, although they are only partially applicable to lan guages of a radically different type.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
