Datapoint Pidgin Hawaiian/Pequenino

The word pikinini (well-suited to the phonology of Hawaiian) was quite common in the early contact period but it was mostly leveled out once the pidgin stabilized in the early 1880s. There is, however, an example from 1922, so it probably lingered on as a marginal feature.
