OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 



469 



INDEX AND VOCABULARY. 



[Every Hawaiian word is divided into as many syllables as it has vowel sounds: ae, ou, au, and at, are sometimes pronounced 

 as diphthongs, although not correctly : a as in arch, e as a in late, hate, &c. ; i as in pique, o as in note, u as oo in coo. The 

 consonants are pronounced as in American. Hawaiians do not strongly accent many of their words, usually only to distinguish 

 words of the same sound but different signification; but for convenience, Hawaiian words have here been accented on the prom- 

 inent vowel sound, v grave where that is long, ' acute where short.]
