ELDERS VS SCHOLARS
THE HAWAIIAN OKINA (ʻ) looks like a backward inverted apostrophe, but it is a consonant, treated as a pause like a music rest. The okina changes Hawaiian words, and while dictionaries and other reference material suggested certain words included an okina, Hawaiian elders disagreed.
This book follows the Hawaiian elder’s recommended spellings.
