Aloha e MSwRTR. Mahalo for your comment. Whatever you do, do NOT buy a copy of ʻŌlelo ʻŌiwi copyright either 1994 or 2006. These two versions are identical except for the cover, and the prices are crazy because it's been out of print for so long.
Just today I received over 500 pages of what I hope will be the final proofs for the revised edition, so if all goes well, the new edition MAY be available by the end of the year. The publishers have also assured me that the price will be no more than $30, so just be patient. It will be worth the wait.
E hoʻomanawanui! :-)

I gave the answer E lawe i ke aʻo a e mālama and it was rejected; I had assumed that the e should precede mālama based on the other sentence E aʻo a e mālama "Learn it and care for it." Am I missing something? Is this a fixed expression and I should memorize it?
