It seems Maltz is also working with the Americanized pronunciation of "wiki", which is what many people use when referring to Wikipedia and its derivatives, rather than the original Hawaiian. On Wed, Aug 2, 2017 at 1:07 PM, SuStel <sustel@trimboli.name> wrote:

I'm not sure who Matlz's Hawaiian tutor is, but shouldn't "wiki" be transliterated as {wIyqIy}? Hawaiian has a glottal stop, and "wikiwiki" doesn't have one.
Maltz also uses the property of the glottal stop to stress the syllable it appears in. By the general stress rules, *wIyqIy* would be pronounced with stress on the *qIy,* while *wI'qIy* is stressed on the *wI'.* (He *could *have said it was *wIy'qIy,* but he didn't.)
