PREFACE.

THE few books published on the Somali language being in-
sufficient for anyone wishing to learn it, we, in order to have a
basis for a further and thorough study of it, have committed
to print this Somali-English and English-Somali Dictionary,
although it is not as yet perfect and complete.

For writing Somali phonetieally we have employed, firstly,
the Roman characters with their Latin pronunciation ; secondly,
some signs used in the Syrian alphabet (S. J. Beyrouth) for the
transliteration of Arabie into Roman characters, and letter d, as
explained in the following alphabetical table :—

vi PREFACE.

diphthongs; w, however, is only a vowel when following the
letters a and o, forming with them the diphthongs aw and ow.
All the other letters are consonants.

OF THE PRONUNCIATION OF THE LETTERS.

PRONUNCIATION OF THE VOWELS.

Simple Vowels.
a
is either long or short :
when long it is pronounced as in English “ father.”

ce 2
» Short 5 s ^ cat, mat.

e

has the sound of a in such words as “ face, space”; but when
this vowel stands before a consonant ending a syllable, it has
nearly the sound of a in the word “care.” Ex. ader, “paternal
uncle," pronounced ah-dare.
i

is either long or short.

When long it is pronounced as 7 in “ ravine.”

» Short = 5 “spin,”

When i is either preceded or followed by h, or when marked

with ‘ (‘i and i‘) it has nearly the sound of e.

. 0

is sounded like o in the word “tone,” when it is long.
m 55 D “Tom” É short.
Ex. sor, “ food,” pronounced sore; kol, “ time,” pronounced koll.

PREFACE. vii

u
has the sound of oo in the word “pool” when long, and that of
win the word “ pull" when short. Ex. gir, “marriage,” pro-
nounced goore; gur, “pick up," pronounced goor. When u is
either preceded or followed by hard consonants, as h, b, it is
sometimes pronounced nearly as u in “ tusk.”
e (ain)

The Arabie guttural sound of € (the pronuneiation of which
can be learnt only from a native) being of frequent occurrence
in the Somali language, the vowels a, e, i, o, u when having that
sound are marked with a reversed comma (‘), either on their
right or their left, as shown in the table.

Prowunciation of the Diphthongs.
ai
is pronounced by some as 2 in the word “Bible,” and as ai in the
word “paint” by others.
In a few words these two letters must be sounded separately ;
in that ease the letter i will be marked with two dots (i).
ei
has the sound of ei in the English “ feign.”

au

is sounded as ow in the word ** cow."

aw

has the same sound as au, but is used to represent that sound
in words where other vowels follow, and also in attributive verbs.

viii PREFACE.

ow

This diphthong has a kind of hollow sound like that of oh-oo
pronounced in an empty cask.

CONSONANTS.
b
is sounded as in English “baby,” but more forcibly and with a
sort of p sound.
d

has a clear and distinct sound as in the English “ did.”
a

is the cerebral d of the Sanscrit. Some Somal pronounce this
consonant nearly as rd in English “ hard,” “card”; its proper
pronunciation can be attained only by practice. There is,
however, not very much difference between the pronunciation
of d and d at the commencement and at the end of words. In
pronouncing d the tongue is allowed to appear between the teeth,

whereas to pronounce d the tongue must be somewhat curved
against the front of the palate.

as in English “for,” “if.”
S

is invariably hard, as in English * gamble,” “give,” “get.”
h

is an aspirate strongly breathed out from the chest, Hike the
Arabic C “ha.”

PREFACE. ix

h
as in English “hare.”

h

v

represents the sounds of the three Arabie letters + G $
Most Somal pronounce any one of those sounds like the German
ch as pronounced in Switzerland in the words “ chirurg,”
“ hochzeit,” “loch,” the guttural pronunciation not being the
same everywhere. In order to avoid confusion and multipli-
cation of sounds we have adopted this sign, although we know
that nearly two-thirds of these words commence with the
Arabie (3.
k

as in English “kite”; it is interchangeable with g.
jl

as in English “jump,” “lily.”
m, n

as in English “ mammon," “ noon."

r

This consonant is generally strongly sounded, like rr in
“ parrot." There are a few exceptions where it is sounded

nearly as cerebral d.
s

is a strong sibilant resembling ss in English “hiss.”

sh
as in English “shore.”

x PREFACE.

t
is sounded as in English “tattoo,” and is interchangeable with d.

wW
as in English “ walk.”

y
as in English “yes,” “York.” In some words this letter is
pronounced like th in the English “loathe.” Ex. maya, “no,”
pronounced matha.

The consonants p, v, and z do not exist in the Somali
alphabet as separate letters, but their sounds have a reciprocal
correspondence to those of the letters b, fb, and s—p to b, v to
f and b, z tos.

With a view to economize space, indefinite nouns to which
either the definite article or the endings of indefinite plural is
added, will be represented by the sign (—). When there is no
possibility of confusion, the word at the head of an article is also
represented by the sign (—) in the phrases and locutions ex-
plained, as also in compound words formed from it by the addi-
tion of a syllable, particle, or another word when they follow in
the same paragraph.

In Somali, for a great number of nouns, the gender is quite
arbitrary, as in French, and can be known only by the definite
singular article; therefore, with each noun, except with those
ending in o (which are mostly of feminine gender, and in taking
the article di change final o into a), we indicate the article, as
wil, m.n., “a boy," —ki. gabad, f.n., “ a girl,” —di

PREFACE. xi

Polysyllabie or dissyllabie nouns ending with a consonant
generally form their indefinite plural by adding o; those ending
in i by adding yo; those ending in a, ai, and eh by adding yal ;
feminine monosyllabic nouns by adding o; and dissyllabic or
polysyllabie feminine nouns ending in o by adding in. Mas-
culine monosyllabic nouns form their plural by repeating the
final consonant preceded by the vowel a. Ex. der, “gazelle”;
derar, “ gazelles.”

For all nouns not following the rules given above, the def.
art. and plur. will be indicated thus :

gabad, f.n., “a girl”; —di, gabdo (plur.)
ilig, m.n., * a tooth”; —gi, ilko (plur.)

The root or simplest form of the Somali verb being the second
person singular of the imperative, all the verbs will be given
in that form, to which we add the forms of the second person
plural of the imperative and that of the aorist when they are
not regularly formed according to the abridged rules below; for
from these three forms the other principal tenses of the verb
may be formed by the addition of terminations (see Gram. ).

RULES.

Ist. Verbs ending with a consonant generally form the
second person plural of the imperative by adding a, and the
aorist by adding i, to the root.

Ex. abur, “create,” “ produce (thou)”; —a, “ create (ye
or you)”; wan —i, “T will create.”

xli PREFACE.

2nd. Verbs ending in i, ai, ei, form the second person plural of
the imperative by adding ya to the root, and the aorist by
adding n.

Ex. badi, “increase”; —ya, ^ increase (ye or you)”; wan
—n, “I will increase.”
adai, “clean”; —ya, “clean (ye or you)”; wan —n,
“I will clean.”

8rd. Verbs ending in o, aw, ow, form the second person plural

of imperative in ada, and the aorist in an.
Ex. hubso, “meditate”; hubsada, * meditate (ye or you)";
wan hubsan, “ I will meditate.”
wanaksanaw, “be (thou) good”; wanaksanáda, “be
(ye or you) good”; wan wanaksanan, “I will
be good."
humow, “be (thou) bad"; humada, “be (ye or you)
bad”; wan human, * I will be bad."

N.B. Exceptions to the above rules will be indicated as
follows :—i.e., the whole word given when there is any change
in the root, and the root represented by the sign (—) when
there is none.

Ex. tag, ^go"; —2; wan tegi.
madow, “be black”; —ba; wan —bi.
sido, “take and carry”; sita; wan sidan.
dahamow, “be chilly” ; dahamoda; wan dahamon.
‘al, “curse,” “abuse”; —a, or ‘aftama; wan “ai.

Somals have taken a great number of words from the Arabic.
These words they use with their own article, particles, and pro-
nouns as real Somali words. Ex. albab, “the door” in Arabie,

PREFACE. xiii

is used by Somals in this way: albab, “adoor”; albabyo,
* doors"; albabki, “the door"; albabyadi, “the doors." They
do the same with any words which they adopt from other
languages.

The character of the Somali language being so very different
from that of the English, we give one or more examples in
the case of words which present some difficulty.

Article, demonstrative and possessive adjectives and pro-
nouns, personal pronouns, and particles are given at the com-
mencement of their appropriate letters.

Somali is an accentuated language. As for its pronunciation
it is of great importance to know. upon what vowel or syllable
the stress of the voice is to be laid, we mark those vowels with
an accent (’). Vowels which of themselves are long are
marked with the sign (_). Asa general rule the accent falls
on the penultimate syllable; consequently words which follow
this rule are not marked.

The Somali words are here given as they are used and pro-
nounced in Berberah. We indicate first the root or chief word,
and afterwards the derivatives, without paying any attention
to alphabetical sequence; and this in order to facilitate the
study of the language. In the Alphabetical Table the letter k
immediately follows h, because their sounds are nearly alike.

We give in a Supplement the new Somali words used in
the English-Somali part, because we have found them after
having sent the Somali-English part to press.

For some words in very common use, we have given as many
sentences as possible, that the student may be able to find out
either what word or sentence he has to use for expressing his idea.
