use for any other initial letter. For this reason Kafir scholars have practically agreed that a Kafir dictionary should follow the alphabetical order of stems rather than of words.
Kropf's dictionary was constructed on this plan. Where a group of words had a common stem the root of the verb was placed first and it was followed by the various verbal forms with the derived nouns at the end. Kropf's method has been slightly modified in the present edition the derived nouns have been attached to the verbal forms from which they spring and the whole series of derived words under any one stem has been indented to aid the reader's eye. If the reader examines carefully a few stems such as uku-Fa, tiku-Ma and uku-Lunga, he will understand the principles on which the dictionary has been constructed. Although the greatest care has been exercised to discover the stems and to place under them only such woi'ds as are actually derivatives, further study of the language will demand a certain amount of re-arrangement in future editions and it is hoped that the following conclusions regarding stems and their derivatives which have been reached after a careful and minute analysis of words in the present edition will materially aid in settling
; ;
questions of arrangement.
Kafirverbalstemsareof two kinds (A) Primary or strong stems; (B) Secondary or weak
stems.
A. Primary or Strong stems. Primary stems are those which retain their final vowel in the The great majority of these primary simple verbal forms which are derived from them*. stems were originally adverbial or interjectional particles and in some instances remain in
use
still
with
ukutl,
as adverbs or interjections; they are at present, however, generally compounded and they are much more numerous than the present edition of the dictionary
commonly in Kafir intsoini and izibongo and waiting to be gathered. The auxiliary iikut't, used along with these uninflected particles, is probably the most important word in Kafir; when standing alone, it means 'to say but when accompanied by a gesture on the part of the speaker it means 'to do' (the thing indicated by the gesture) or 'to act' (in the way indicated by the gesture). Now, though gestures may be employed to express a wide range of meaning, they have their limitations and these adverbial and interjectional particles serve in the place of gestures or to the accompaniment of gestures to widen out still further the application of the verb iikuti [see uhi-Ti 4 (a) and (b)]. These
indicates, occurring
' ;
;
particles are often onomatopoetic or suggestive in their sound, e.g. ukiiti-Mpompo (of water, to pump up), ukuti-Gelekeqe (to throw a stick along the gi-ound to another), ukuti-Tu (to
(appear suddenly).
These particles may havfe a wide range of meaning (see e.g. tikuti-Ntla), but are always made to carry a definite idea in any particular instance of their use. Although in the dictionary these simple verb forms (ukut'i followed by a particle) are usually classified as transitive or intransitive, they are not properly circumscribed by these English grammatical terms and are in many instances capable of being either transitive or intransitive according
to circumstances.

In the case of these strong stems, modifications of meaning by a change in the auxiliary ukuti or

ukuti-Gqududu, to stumble,
from ukuti-Gqudu, to stumble once. ukuti-Guququ, to turn round quickly, from ukuti-Guqu, to turn from one thing
into another.
Where, however, the first syllable of the stem is repeated, the final vowel usually becomes a and the resulting verb bears the simple prefix uku, as; uku-Dlikidla, to give a good shaking, from ukuti-Dliki, to shake once.
uku-Hlokohla, to keep poking,
from uhiti-Nyiki, to cause pain. uku-Vikiva, to bruise, from ukuti-Viki, to be broken off short.

uku-Nqwala, to nod the head, is probably to be considered as a weak verbal stem formed from the strong stem ukuit-Nqwale to bow the head, rather than as a derivative from ukutt-Nqwa. Similarly uku-Ntywila, to dive, is rather to be considered as a weak verbal stem formed from ukuti-Ntywili than as a
derivative from ukutt-Ntywi. is a relative form of uhiti-Dwe.

Many nouns and adjectives in Kafir are treated as strong stems, from which simple verbal forms are derived by the addition of an extra syllable in the same manner as is followed in forming simple verbal forms from the uninfiected particles.
In cases where the stem

reduplicated, the verbs are formed from the simple verbal forms so derived are as

HLONIPA-WORDS.
The hlonipa-custom is explained in the Dictionary; see uku-Hlonipa. Hlonipawords are the words used by the women as substitutes for those normal Kafir-words from the use of which they may happen to be debarred through their containing
syllables coinciding with syllables in the

in.
In searching into the sources from which hlonipa-words are derived, one finds that great use is made of synonyms, and that, owing to the richness of the Kafir
language in synonyms, the women can often find a ready way of escape from forbidden syllables without resorting to strange words e.g. a woman who cannot use ukw-Apiika has a choice of any one of the following words: Qekeka, Qoboka,

It has not been deemed necessary to insert such words in this Appendix. Analogous to the device of seeking synonyms from their own language is the device of borrowing words from Native or European languages with which they

Thus we find a favourite hlonipa-substitute for ubisi to be Pondomise word for milk; for uku-Caza (to comb) we find uku-Kama, which is the Du. kammen; and for i-Tyuwa (salt) we find a favourite substitute to be i-Sauti, which is the Du. zout.
