Signs of Identity, Signs of Discord: Glottal Goofs and the Green Grocer’s Glottal in Debates on Hawaiian Orthography.
Suzanne Romaine
Most of these photos were taken in and around Hilo on the eastern side of the island of Hawai‘i. The majority illustrate variable spellings of place names on state highways or street signs, where both the new and old orthographies are used. Even where the new orthography appears, a variety of symbols is used for the ‘okina. Most do not conform to the typographically correct ‘okina recommended by ‘Ahahui ‘?lelo Hawai‘i (1978). The variation on state and county signs indicates a lack of agreement on the shape of the symbol. Other photos show a variety of quasi-official signs of federal and state agencies which also contain variable spellings.
