Both Māori-English and English-Māori entries appear. It incorporates an easy to use guide to pronunciation and a short section on Māori grammar as well as sections on Māori proverbs, translations for seasons, months, days of the week, points of the compass, parts of the body, New Zealand and overseas place names, and personal names. Also includes a map of tribal areas.
