PREFACE.<br />

This <strong>Dictionary</strong> is intended mainly for students in<br />

Burma.<br />

As I have aimed at confining the maJiimum of matter in<br />

the minimum of space, I have not made any reference to<br />

Sanskrit forms. And the arrangement of words l:as been<br />

guided less by philological connections than by practical<br />

considerations, and the abbreviation<br />

signs have enabled me<br />

to save space by grouping together under one heading<br />

many words which might otherwise have required separate<br />

lines.<br />

I have derived much benefit from Childers's <strong>Dictionary</strong>,<br />

the list of <strong>Pali</strong> Words beginning with S and H in the<br />

Journals of the <strong>Pali</strong> Text Society for 1907 and 1909,<br />

Andersen's Glossary to his <strong>Pali</strong> Reader, Ledi Pandita's<br />

<strong>Pali</strong>-Burmese <strong>Dictionary</strong>.<br />
