This Vocabulary contains the exact meaning of words required by the
story. It would only confuse the student if the full meaning of every
word were given. The letter _A_, has 4 meanings given. The first meaning
is And; _a whakarongo mai hoki_, '_and_ also listen.' The second use is
before a proper name. _A Tuwharetoa_. The third is _a Tutanekai Nga pu
a Tutanekai_. 'The instruments of Tutanekai.' Fourth, _a ka mutu te
ngenge_ etc. (_lit._) 'At length, the weariness of her shoulders ended.'
These meanings of _A_ are sufficient for the text. The meanings of the
letter _A_ given by the late Rev. Colenso, are no less than sixteen,
main division. Some of these again divide into twelve, fourteen, or more
shades of meaning.

I ask the indulgence of Maori scholars in regard to the arrangement of
_Wh_. In the larger Dictionaries "_Whakaae_" is given with _Ae_.
"_Whakaaro_" with _Aro_. For convenience I have ventured to arrange all
the causatives ("_Whaka_") under _Wh_.
