This is just an announcement that I'm currently working on the Hawaiian language section of the wiki area at unilang.org. I'm going to post as much as I can there while I still have free time. I've already finished 6 articles there, the most thorough and edited ones being "Hawaiian Imperatives" and "Hawaiian Determiners and Making Nouns Plural;" and the next most thorough being "Hawaiian Time Aspect Markers." However, when talking about making nouns plural, I haven't mentioned using postposed k-less possessives for this function, since I'm not sure how much it's used when not preceded by the vocative "E" or by prepositions, although I have seen it used in equational sentences.
I'm going to finish the article on "Hawaiian Cardinal and Ordinal Numbers," and I'm debating whether or not I'll introduce the numeral prefixes pā-, ko'oko'o-, and kua-, and if I'll introduce the old counting system by fours. When I finish the article on numerals, then I'll try to figure out a plan for how I'm going to organize and introduce other topics, rather than typing out whatever subject comes to my head as I have been doing.
Over the past year, I have documented a number of sentence patterns from Hawaiian literature, new and old, mostly little things though. I'm going to look them over again and, perhaps, if the Hawaiian language class I'm planning on taking isn't cancelled in Fall, I'll run my data by the professor.
