The principal feature in this edition of the Maori dictionary, which calls for special notice, is the arrangement of the words. There are certain changes in form which are applicable to a very large proportion of the words in the language and especially to adjectives and verbs. These changes are effected by the reduplication of one or more syllables, by prefixing the causative "whaka", and by the addition of a termination which forms a derivative noun.--Preface to the Third edition
