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.

"Results for 'au:Elbert, Samuel H.' > '1925..2013' [WorldCat.org]". Retrieved 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 University of Hawai‘i's College of Language, Linguistics listening?
