Synopsis
Excerpt from Appendix to the Dictionary and Grammar of the Kongo Language: As Spoken at San Salvador, the Ancient Capital of the Old Kongo Empire, West Africa; Compiled and Prepared for the Baptist Mission on the Kongo River, West Africa
The Dictionary of 1887 contains some Kongo words, omitting as far as possible the thousands of derivative words, which, being formed from the root-words according to simple rules, needed no special note. As the possibili ties of this highly flexible language are so great, these derivatives in actual or possible use would number hundreds of thousands it was therefore necessary rigorously to exclude them, except such as by their frequent or special usage required special note.
Some new words are now added on the same principle, which include, as far as possible, all words or roots which are used in the Kongo literature of the English Baptist Mission published up to the present.
