First published in 1981, this dictionary was designed as a comprehensive finder-list. Over 15,000 headwords are given, each of which may have as many as several hundred Maori equivalents. All the Maori words contained in Williams's Maori dictionary appear here under English equivalents, together with words recorded in Tregear's Maori-to-English dictionary but not in Williams. Well-established Maori borrowings from English are also included.
