Helps to Pronunciation
There are three simple rules which practically control Hawaiian pronunciation: (1) Pronounce each vowel. (2) Never allow a consonant to close a syllable. (3) Give the vowels the following values:
| a | = | a | in father |
| e | = | ey | in they |
| i | = | i | in machine |
| o | = | o | in note |
| u | = | oo | in tool |
