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 Māori equivalents. All the Māori words contained in Williams’s Māori dictionary appear here under English equivalents, together with words recorded in Tregear’s Māori-to-English dictionary but not in Williams. Well-established Māori borrowings from English are also included.
