Abstract: 

Hebrew poetry is complex in the ways it uses semantic parallelism and rhythm, and in its terseness. Hawai`i Pidgin, which is the vehicle for a subculture of substantial size, has complexities that are different from those of Hebrew, in the ways in which it handles semantic parallelism, versification, sequencing of sentence and discourse elements, anaphora, phrasal lexemes, proverbial sayings, and metaphor. Nevertheless, adequate translation is possible.
