Ebook: Place Names of Hawaii

University of Hawaii Press, 1974. - xi + 333 p.(нераспознанные страницы)ISBN: 0–8248–0524–0In this book the authors endeavor to provide the people of the State of Hawaiʻi with a glossary of important place names in the State, including names of valleys, streams, mountains, land sections, surfing areas, towns, villages, and Honolulu streets and buildings.
The first edition of Place Names of Hawaii contained only 1,125 entries. The coverage is expanded in the present edition to include about 4,000 entries, including names in English. Individual entries have been lengthened, especially for important places or those rich in legendary or historical associations, for example, ʻIo-lani, Ka-huku, Ka-lihi, Ka-wai-a-Haʻo, Moana-lua, and La Pérouse. As in the earlier volume, meanings of the Hawaiian names are given when possible, as well as background information and, in some instances, references that may be consulted for verification and further information.
