Things Hawaiian, Particularly
Spelling n. +. -. pr

us. by an almost imperceptible little
grtnt. 49,
Going back to the consonants, the
inability of the Hawaiian to put two
consonant sounds together has been
put into concrete form in the, name Of
one of Honoiulu's most important
streets, Beretania Street, which passes
in front of Washington Place. Queen
LiliVokalani's residence, was named
Britannia, as compliment to a British
dignitary who visited here, but the
king himself at that time could not
readily force his lips and tongue to
produce the bf with single impulse
of the voice. so the "bri". became
here" pronounced -barray, and Bri-
tannia street became, and Still re-
mains Beretania Street.
Originally, every word in the Ha-
waiian language could be spelled with
twelve letters, the five yowels and the
consonants H, K, L, NJ, N, P, and w.
In some parts of the Islands k was
sottcned to t, and the name of the
Island Napoleon, Kamehameha, be-
came Tamehameha V, too, was fire.
quently substituted for W, and | was
CudnR6S
became universal and the letters r, T,
and V were incorporated in the Ha-
waiian alphabet Kalo, the vegetable
from which is made the gluey and nu-
. trftive poi designated according to its
glueyness as one two or three fin
gered poi, is now called taro, and it's
old name is well nigh forgotten. So
also with the ti-plant, in whose long
cool green leaves fish is wrapped at
the market before the outer wrapping
i-of newspaper is put on by the Chinese
fish merchant. This plant; in the DAYS
of the early missionaries, was called
Xxi (kee) as often as ii 1tee). This
interchange of the sounds of t and k
is noted also in the word kappa, the
cloth beaten from the bark of a native
tree (wauke) from which was made
the capes and skirts of the early ma
, tiyes, and which was called tapa. R
used instead of l. was exemplified in
the name of Hawaii's big mountains
which some of the older historians al
ways called "Mauna Roa" instead of
Mauna Loa, the name by which the

fected by Hawaiians themselves are
u, o, i, and e, all taking preference
over a as a word ending unless the
letter Immediately preceding the final
a is a vowel itself or the letter b, /, or
K. - This is yet another reason why
Leroy Scott's MoIkarina with its ina
ending, has an IN Hawaiian sound.
Since, in Hawaiian, nearly every lit
tie syllable has a meaning all its
own, the fiction writer who would
introduce a native or two into his tale
would be safe in making the name al
most any syllable or combination Of
ayllables ending with a vowel. remen-
bering the Hawaiian consonants, and
following carefully the rule of never
facing two consonants together. The
riitor of The Editor has a Hawaiian
lame, so far as the spelling is con-
erned. Kane, pronounced Kane, with
the accent even, was the name of the
creator god of the Hawaiian people.
Other suggestive Hawaiian names are
Kaai, Kea, Kalakau, Kalauokalani, Ka-
neakua, kewalo, Kahanumoku. kinau,
Ko, Lauhala, Halekalani, Halapepe,
Ilamuka, Papaopapepe. There are al
most as many Hawaiian names as
there are Hawaiians, but these few ex-
amples ought to enable the assembler
of syllables to get name that has a
Hawaiian sound.

be faced that very many Of these di-
visions will appear IN the West dur
ing 1913. II 10 not likely. even II q
sort Of peace were patched mp with
the Leninites In Russia, that all the
German troops could be withdrawn,
for conditions in Russia are such that
any political agreement with a pur-
ported Russian government could not
be depended upon. and there are in
Russia vast stores OF arms. cannon
and shells. and unlimited trained SOL
diers. The central powers, whatever
happens, will have to guard against
some surprise movement against them
In the East ~ ~
The transfer of these divisions TO
the Franco British
front, while It would undoubtedly pro-
long the war, Is not such a serious
menace as on paper II appears to be.
Since the Russian army began to de-
teriorate a year ago, the Germans
have come more and more to use the
Russian front as a rest camp for di-
visions smashed up and exhausted by
fighting in the West. Aside from
these recuperating divisions, the Rus
sian front IL garrisoned bV landwehr
and landsturm formations composed
of the older men who are not trusted
to fight in the great suction battles"
such as Verdun, the somme, Flanders
\ and Cambria.
Even with no war in Russia. German
divisions would have TO rest, and land
| wehr and landstrum would remain in
capable OF meeting the allies in battle.
1t was these considerations that led
a high authority to tell me that the
nominal addition TO the 1I7 German
divisions in the vest Of the eighty d.
4 visions now in the east would not add
more than 20 per cent to the strength
OF the German army in man-power.
But that 70 per cent. he was careful
TO add. would prolong the war by very
/ many months.
There are some thousands Of cannon
on Germany's eastern front. and their
| appearance In the west would be un-
pleasant. It is probable that Germanys
strength in the west. in the event OF
peace with Russia. would be increased
more by these guns than by the ad-
ditional soldiers who would be avail
able.

she will be inferior to the Allies in
l fire-power. which means that she will
have less guns and less shells than
her opponents. She will have the worst
of II in the air. And the possible
superiority in numbers which Germany
might possess at the start would not
be sufficient to counterbalance the
Allies advantage in material. would
not Offset the strategical advantage
the Allies now possess through the po-
sitions they have won. while the con-
stantly arriving American troops would
turn the scale. even as regards man
power alone, back again in our favor
before the end OF the years campaign.
So much for man power in 1878.
There is another factor. prehaps even
more important, that will help to de-
termine the course of the fighting next
