Overview

Excerpt from A Vocabulary of the Igorot Language as Spoken by the Bontok Igorots The vocabulary consists Of two parts, igorot-english and English Igorot. In the Igorot section an attempt is made to indicate the grammatical relationships of words, in cases where they would not be evident to a student Of the language. The included number of sentences or expres sions involving several words as the equivalent of one English word is not great, not because they do not exist but because the work is not a phrase book, but is intended simply as a guide to the words most tre quently used in the Bontok region, from which, by experience Of the idiom, the learner may gradually build the more indirect expressions. The English section of the vocabulary is intended chiefly as a rough index to the Igorot part, with only general distinctions noted paren thetically. In almost every instance it will be found that the two sections Of the vocabulary correspond. The exceptions are some evident cases of reduplicated forms and of substantive forms incorporated in verbs in such manner as to be unmistakable.
