A Dictionary of Cebuano Visayan - iTeX translation reports

y native speakers. The personnel who wrote up the
entries are listed
in Section 2.1, p. ix. The manuscript went through
five versions, the
final on an IBM selectric composer. The whole composition
was done in
Cebu City in five months time by Pacifico Briones,
Nicolasito
Catingan, Florecita Florido, Donata Laingo, and
Grace Mendoza. The
drafting and splicing were done by Carlito Gubaynon
and Felismeno
Simplicio. The proofreading and editing was done by
me together with
Mrs. Elizabeth Say, Mrs. Fe Cuenca, Richard
Quiñanola, and my wife Ida
Wolff. In the earlier stages of gathering, transcribing,
and indexing
materials a huge number of people participated, too
numerous to mention
by name. The entire dictionary through the final composed
product was
compiled from notes on index cards in the course of
twenty-six months.
My thanks go especially to the staff listed above and
on p. ix for
their cooperative spirit. Without their willingness to
work overtime,
this dictionary could not have been completed.
