The inclusion of the koma liliu (glottal stop) and fa’amamafa (macron) is important in modern writing of Samoan. This is because many young Samoans and those who are learning the language do not always know how to correctly pronounce the words without these diacritical marks.
All of the books in the Little Leone Adventures Series are written this way to ensure that our children (& adults) are learning the correct way to pronounce words.
