English-Maori dictionary

documentary heritage
  • Description

    The aim of this dictionary is to provide a more comprehensive English to Maori vocabulary than has been previously available, and also to supply grammatical information not found in earlier dictionaries.

    According to this analysis all Maori words, other than particles and interjections, are members of five mutually exclusive base classes, or parts of speech. Bases of the five classes are called Universals, Nouns, Statives, Personals, and Locatives.--introduction
