Other books and other languages

Upon querying WorldCat, I realized that Samuel Hoyt Elbert has written about many more languages than listed in the Selected works section of his article. WorldCat lists nearly 200 entries.

:

{{cite web |title=Results for 'au:Elbert, Samuel H.' > '1925..2013' [WorldCat.org] |url=https://www.worldcat.org/search?q=au%3AElbert%2C+Samuel+H.&fq=yr%3A1925..2013+%3E&qt=advanced&dblist=638 |accessdate=2013-10-07}}

I think that the selected works section needs reworking. Maybe we could break out the co-authored books with Mary Kawena Pukui into a separate section. In fact, if we made it a sub-page or its own list, it could be included in both articles by using one of the include constructs normally employed for templates.

Most importantly, however, I think we need to represent Elbert's area of studies beyond Hawaiian.

Is anyone at the [http://www.lll.hawaii.edu/ University of Hawai‘i's College of Language, Linguistics] listening?
