Template:Hawaiian Dictionaries/doc

This template can be used for citations to dictionaries of the Hawaiian language. It provides verifiable sources for several databases that have web access provided by the Ulukau project of the University of Hawaii. The first set are from a number of books published by the University of Hawaii Press. The second set are records from the archives of Hawaii.

Parameters
First parameter is the lemma (generally the word or phrase being looked up). The optional identifier, specified in second position or named parameter  can be extracted from the URL of the query, often when there are multiple entries in the dictionary with different diacritics. For example, below  was extracted from the entry http://wehewehe.org/gsdl2.85/cgi-bin/hdict?a=d&d=D10739.

A link to entries with diacritics can be created with the parameter. This is to work around incompatibilities between the database software and Wikipedia conventions. For example, the databases seem to use apostrophe instead of the Unicode character for the ʻokina, and the characters for vowels with umlauts instead of macrons for the kahakō. The  parameter can be set to any non-empty value to get an exact match, instead of ignoring diacritics.

The parameter  refers to a specific database and can be extracted from the URL, such as the   parameter for the dictionaries. For example, below, http://wehewehe.org/gsdl2.85/cgi-bin/hdict?a=q&q=Halema%CA%BBuma%CA%BBu&j=pp
