Note on phonetics.
The original publication includes phonetic charactors that are not accessible via WWW. We have used the following transcription to render them:
shwa vowel ....ë
open-e ..........ee
open-o ..........ø
velar nasal .....ng
central fricative ..gh

We also note that tones have not been marked and that the research was undertaken (and the book published) long before the establishment of the now-standard Lamnso ethnography in which any future work should be presented.
