This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 Excerpt: ...is a sentence. Pukuta This is a species of wooden tray. Ydt "Fish," hence " Food." Mek-nga, .--Verbal Substantive formed on the Root Mek "Eat."-da General Noun Suffix. "The wooden tray for eating food from." Disinter (to).--The Root Amok also means "Catch hold of." "Pick up."

"Ears," i.e., "Hearing." P6ye n Not." Disperse (to).--The Root Wdl means "Clear away." See Clear (to), (of jungle). The Andamanese idea of dispersing a crowd is, to clear the people away as one would cut down trees to make a cleared space in the jungle. Displeased.--See Discontented. Dispute (a).--The first equivalent given is a...
