AN 



ENGLISH AND POLYNESIAN 



VOCABULARY. 



FOR greater convenience in using the preceding Lexicon, especially 

 for philological purposes, it has been thought advisable to append an 

 English-Polynesian vocabulary, drawn up in as concise a form as 

 would be consistent with utility. With this view, repetition has been 

 avoided as far as possible, and some Polynesian terms of little import- 

 ance have not been inserted at all. It should be observed that the 

 Polynesian words are given always in the radical or ground-form, 

 under which, by referring to the Lexicon, the exact term corre- 

 sponding to the English word will be found, and its precise meaning 

 ascertained.
