[In this Vocabulary, dy=j ; ng=either the nasal g or n-g in separate
syllables ; -nga final of the verbals, if preceded by i, nlay be proiiouncec2
-nya from the influence of the i ; p and t are so like b and ci in sound that
the author has not given a separate place to them. llTords marlied with +
have come in from other dialects. The verbs are given in the present Indi-
cative ; to form the Infinitive, gu, 'to,' is added on after the verb-stem.
There are probably some mistakes still in this Vocabulary, although much
labour has been spent in getting its contents made fit for the press.-ED.]
