Although the purpose of this dictionary this dictionary - Free On-line Dictionary of Computing is to help Malay speakerslearn the Timugon Murut language (and to a lesser extent to help TimugonMurut speakers improve their knowledge of Malay), it deserves a wideraudience than this, since it represents an important contribution to ourknowledge of one of the indigenous, Austronesian languages Austronesian languagesformerly Malayo-Polynesian languagesFamily of about 1,200 languages spoken by more than 200 million people in Indonesia, the Philippines, Madagascar, the central and southern Pacific island groups (except most of New Guinea; see of Sabah.This is no pocket dictionary Noun 1. pocket dictionary - a dictionary that is small enough to carry in your pocketlittle dictionarydictionary, lexicon - a reference book containing an alphabetical list of words with information about them , but rather a solid, hardback volumecomprising more than a thousand pages. The Timugon Murut language is spoken by about 9,000 people who livein and around the Tenom valley in Sabah, Malaysia. It is one of twelveMurutic languages The Murutic languages are a family of 15 closely related Austronesian languages and 21 dialects, spoken in the northern inland regions of Borneo by the Murut people.The family is divided between lowland and highland groups, "Tagol" and "Timugon". that are spoken across the southern region of Sabahand over the border in Kalimantan. (1) The dictionary began as a computerized database of lexicalinformation started by the editors, Richard and Kielo Brewis brew��is?n.

Timugon, like other Murutic languages, has a complex system of verbaffixation Noun 1. affixation - the result of adding an affix to a root wordsound structure, syllable structure, word structure, morphology - the admissible arrangement of sounds in words2. .

Grammar To alter (a word) by inflection.3. by adding any of the 13 prefixes, 2infixes and 5 suffixes known in the language to a root or stem.Typically, a verb has up to fifty different forms. The verb ongoi'go' is cited as an example (p. 901), for after affixation ithas more than 125 verbal and nominal forms derived from the single root.This verb also serves as an example of another feature of the language,that is, the presence of vowel harmony Vowel harmony is a type of long-distance assimilatory phonological process involving vowels in some languages. In languages with vowel harmony, there are constraints on what vowels may be found near each other. , whereby, the addition of asuffix such as -an can cause the root vowel (usually an /o/) toharmonize with the vowel of the affix affixv. 1) to attach something to real estate in a permanent way, including planting trees and shrubs, constructing a building, or adding to existing improvements. . This can be seen, for example, inthe way the verb ongoi 'go' plus the suffix -an becomesangayan 'place, time of going' (Introduction p. xxx). Austronesian linguists will be delighted to know that there is anexcellent outline (in Malay) of the Timugon verb system (pp. 905-35).Timugon is described as a VSO VSO(in Britain) Voluntary Service OverseasVSOn abbr (BRIT) (= Voluntary Service Overseas) → organizaci��n que env��a j��venes voluntarios a trabajar y ense?ar en los pa��ses del Tercer Mundo type language, with a five-way voicesystem. This means that the semantic role of a selected noun phrase isreflected in an affix that occurs on the verb. These affixes are: Active voice signaled by the affix (-u)m- on the verb Objective voice signaled by the suffix -on Dative voice signaled by the suffix -in Instrumental voice signaled by the prefix pag- plus reduplication Locative voice (which includes location, time and reason) signaled by the suffix -an. Given these and other complexities of the Timugon language, carefulthought went into the arrangement of the entries in the dictionary. Theeditors had two principal aims. The first was that it should be easy forthe primary intended audience (i.e., Malay speakers) to access, and thesecond, that the dictionary arrangement should reflect the semantics ofthe Timugon language. The possible choices before the editors, and theirreasons for selecting an essentially root-based approach over analphabetical approach, are discussed at some length in the Introduction(pp. xxi-xlii). The resulting format is certainly clear and easy to use. All majorentries have the head word/root marked in bold and located in the leftmargin, while subentries also in bold are indented in��dent?1?v. in��dent��ed, in��dent��ing, in��dentsv.tr.1. To set (the first line of a paragraph, for example) in from the margin.2. a. . Affixation is shownby a parsed version of the word in square brackets. Malay glosses are initalics. Each entry concludes with the cited word used in an exampleTimugon sentence along with a Malay translation. Words identified asborrowings from English, Arabic, Malay or local dialects are indicatedby appropriate abbreviations (p.xxviii). Typical entries appear asfollows: inum inuman [inum-an] masa atau tempat minum, lnuman nilo ra inasi giu' ra baloi ri Nayam. Mereka minum tapai di rumah Nayam. This entry is followed by several more subentries based on the root inum. In the following entry, Ig is the abbreviation for English. Noos Ig nurse jururawat. Masaga' io mangandoi ra noos ru hospital. Dia mahu bekerja sbg jururawat hospital. In order to help the user find Timugon equivalents for simple Malayglosses there is a Malay-Timugon index (pp. 843-97). While this may attimes be a little cumbersome to use since many Malay words appear tohave several Timugon equivalents (for example, Malay besar'big,' 'large' has fourteen Timugon equivalentslisted), it is undoubtedly a very useful addition to the dictionary andfacilitates its use by non-Timugon speakers. The appendix (pp. 899-1016) contains outlines (in Malay) of TimugonMurut phonology phonology,study of the sound systems of languages. It is distinguished from phonetics, which is the study of the production, perception, and physical properties of speech sounds; phonology attempts to account for how they are combined, organized, and convey meaning , grammar and ethnography, plus a glossary of terms usedin the dictionary, and a short bibliography. I did notice thatreferences to works by King and King 1984, and Smith 1984 (p. 900-1)have been omitted from the bibliography) This dictionary represents an important corpus of information onthe Timugon Murut language. All who have had a hand in preparing it,from the editors and project co-ordinator to the Kadazandusun LanguageFoundation who have published it, and the Embassy of Finland in KualaLumpur who met the printing costs, are to be congratulated on awell-produced volume (3) (Beatrice Clayre, Oxford, England.) (1) There is also a small group speaking a Murutic language,Okolod, in north Sarawak. In the past, the term Murut, which isgenerally agreed to mean 'up-country' or 'hillpeople,' was applied not only to speakers of Murutic languages inSabah but also to speakers of a Kelabitic language in north Sarawak. TheSarawak "Muruts" now call themselves Lun Bawang, and speakersof a closely related Kelabitic dialect living in Sabah and Kalimantancall themselves Lundayeh. (2) K. D.
