Excerpt from A Short Synopsis of the Most Essential Points in Hawaiian Grammar
As 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.

This book explores the fundamental elements of Hawaiian grammar, including pronunciation, word formation, parts of speech, and sentence construction. It sheds light on the language's Polynesian roots, drawing comparisons with other Polynesian languages to highlight similarities and differences. Readers will discover the intricacies of Hawaiian pronunciation, with its twelve distinct sounds and emphasis on vowel endings. The book also delves into the fascinating world of Hawaiian vocabulary, where words often hold multiple meanings depending on their context and accompanying particles. Thematic depth is found in the exploration of grammatical relationships and the expression of concepts like gender, number, and tense through separate particles. The author's insights into the language's unique features, such as the distinction between 'a' and 'o' possessives and the use of verbal directives, offer a deeper understanding of Hawaiian culture and thought.
