VOCABULARY, 
325 
PREFATORY NOTE, 
This Vocabulary does not pretend to be a complete dictionary. It 
contains, I believe, every word and form occurring in the Chrestomathy, 
and, besides a large number of words collected by me in the country 
and in Court and not hitherto found in dictionaries, a great many 
indigenous proverbs. It may claim to be entirely original, and in no 
way a compilation, not a single meaning having been taken from any 
dictionary, other than the mouths of the people themselves. At the 
same time it must be admitted that it is for this very reason liable to 
many errors, from which a mere compilation would be free. Consideration 
is asked for such as exist. 
Nouns are given in their Nominative form, and Verbs in their Root 
form. Under the latter will be found many colloquial, poetical, and archaic 
forms not given in the grammar.
