This book, originally compiled as a ''Vocabulary of the Akra-

or Ga-Language", was edited in three languages as an "English-

Tshi-Ga-Dictionary" in 1872 by the Eev. J. G. Christaller.

Since about 15 years the first edition had been out of print,
and the deficiency of an English- Vernacular Dictionary for the
English learning scholars was the longer the more strongly felt.

The undersigned, having withdrawn from the Goldcoast, felt
it a pleasure to render some help to those still actively engaged
in Mission- and Schoolwork by revising and enlarging this book,
which is now published in two languages. He is greatly indebted
to Eev. J. Lochmann, then Manager of the Grammar-School at
Akropong, who did the preparatory work with the aid of Rev.
Th. Opoku, Eev. Ph. Kwabi, Mr. Dan. Akwa and Mr. J. Gyampo
and to late Eev. A. Bauer at Kumase and Eev. Erwin Nothwang
at Akropong, who both had the kindness to send their suggestions
& corrections, of which ample use was made.

It is not too much to say that this little book meets a great
requirement of Government Ofiicers and Merchants as well as of
the educated native population on the Goldcoast, and it is sure
to command an extensive circulation throughout this Colony.

Introduction,

I. On the Pronunciation of the Tshi Words.

The words of the Tshi Language contained in this book
are written according to the "Standard Alphabet for reducing
unwritten languages &c. to a uniform orthography" by Dr. Lepsius,
London, Williams and Norgate; Berlin, W. Hertz, 1863.

The Vowels a e i 0 u have their German or Italian pro-
nunciation, which is also often the same in English {past, far,
best, mist, postpone, full, rule). This pronunciation is kept
through the whole of these introductory remarks. Accessory vowel-
sounds and signs are the following:

a has a thin sound, like the English a in fat, before i, u,

gya, nya, twa, and the full e & o;
e & 0 are in many cases not full, but have a sound approach-
ing to i & u;
e & 0 are sounded open and broad as in where, there, not,

nor, laiv;
a e i 6 11 ara nasal vowels;
a e e ... a e ... are long vowels j
a e i 6 ii are very short.

Diphthongs sound always as their single letters import, e.g.:
ae, ae, ai, ee, ei, oe, oe, 6e, ui, ui.

In this book the compound VOWels aw, ew, ew, iw, ow,
are written as they sound, e. g. au, eu, eu, iu, ou.

VI

Ex. au = ou, ow in Jiouse, now: asaii, a fishing net; asau,
a dance; eu and eu are pronounced e-u, g-u: kyereu, to write;
ten, to tear; iu = ew in dew. tin, to pursue; ou = o-u; gpou,
politeness.

The final W of bisyliabiC words has, generally, been drop-
ped. Ex, sesaw, sesa; fotow, foto; susuw, susu; ahosepew, aho-
sepe; titiriw, titiri.

The final W of monosyllables, however, was either changed
into an u, e. g. saw = sau, to dance; tew = ten, to plant; tew
= ten, to tear; pow = pou (ho), to polish etc. or it was dropped
and the vowel lengthened. Ex. tow kyene = to ky., to throw;
sow — so (aha), to bear fruit.

Tones, low, high or middle, are inherent in every syllable
of every word, independent of the stress laid on single (high
or low-toned) syllables. These tones may be marked thus : high
tone: a e i ... , low tone: a e i ..., high and low tone: a e e ...,
low and high tone a' a' ae .... Middle tones, being variations
of high tones, are only found after preceding high tones and
have the same mark. Unmarked syllables have the tone of the
preceding mark, or the low tone, if there be no previous mark.
E. g. in "adaka no so" the successive tones are low, high (to-
gether with the stress), middle, middle, low (1, 3, 2; 2; 1). In
the Bible and other books the tones are left unmarked, except
where distinction is necessary. In this dictionary, however, many
words are marked according to their tones, for the benefit of
foreigners wishing to learn the language.

In spelling or in reciting the alphabet the single letters
are not named by their English names, but the vowels are named
by their own sound, and the consonants are sounded with the
addition of a short e, or, where e does not agree with the con-

VII

sonant, with a short a or o. But in teaching to read, only-
one sound must be given to a letter; e. g.: p is only a mute
sound from the lips, b likewise, but s:fter, f only a mute blow-
ing between the lower lip and the upper teeth etc.

The Consonants bdfhklmnpsty, are pronounced as
in English:
g- always hard as in go\

r- as in ring, crack, carry, never as in ear, here,
w - is pronounced with the lips not so much protruded as in English.
In the Fante dialect of Cape Coast the letters t & d be-
come ts & dz before e e i; e. g. : tse, dzi = te, di.
The English letters c, j, q, x, are not used.
The following letters or combinations of letters are not in
English :

ix — ng in sing, kw = qu in quack. Ex. nno, oil] ediu, a name]

okwaii, a road]
h\v, ny, ky, gy, sound as they are written : onwara, a toucan ]

onya, a slave ; ekye, a hat ; gyedua, a shady tree ;

hy, before e, e, i, sounds as a palatal ^ (= ch in Scotch and

German). Ex. ohye, the order] ohye, the border] iihyiam, a

meeting ;

w = wy ; uw = nwy. Ex. ewiase, the world] onwini, the shade]

tw, dw, fw, are palato-labial sounds transformed from kw, gw,

hw, as they still sound in Fante dialects ;
tw & dw sound like ts & dy simultaneously pronounced with
w (wii:hout protruding the lips); in dwe, dwe, dwi the w
seems prevalent, in dwo the y. In Asante proper the sound
of dy slips into that oi dsh] cf. the English writing of the
name of the second capital of Asante: Dwabin ox Judbin
= Dwabeu;

VIII

fw requires a position of the tongue and lips as for whist-
ling, the opening of the lips being but a little wider; the
original h has by the simultaneous contraction of the lips=
become f, pronounced with both lips.

In English writing of native names and places, conso-
nants are not to be doubled to indicate the shortness of a
preceding vowel. "We write, therefore, Ata, not Atta; Kyebi^
not Kyebbi.

II. The Name of the Tshl Language, and Its Dialects.

The name of the West-African Language, of which the
present volume contains a collection of words, is not easily de-
termined, and requires some remarks.

The chief language of the Gold Coast, the Tshi, extend-
ing over three to four degrees of longitude and as many or
more of latitude, is spoken by perhaps one million of people
in several dialects, which have their names from their respective
tribes and countries, but do not differ so much from one another,
as the dialects of many other languages in which one book-
language is in use (e. g. the English, the French, the German),
or so as to prevent their being mutually understood. The two
principal branches of this one language are: Akaii and Fante.
The most important of the Akan dialects is that of Asante,*)

*) Instead of spelling Ashantee, we would, according to the
actual pronunciation of the natives, prefer the simpler and more
correct spelling A-san-te. A- is a prefix, pronounced thin, like
the short English a; -san- (originally -sian-, from which the s7t
came into the Accra pronunciation Asanti) is also short and has
the stress, but low tone; -te, with a short e approaching to i, has
no stress, but high tone. Fan-te is pronounced alike.

IX

on account of the extent and power of that tribe. Closely akin
to it are the dialects of Asen and Akyem; the latter is even
rc^garded as the purest and most elegant dialect, teing at the
same time the most central of all. To this we must join the
southeastern dialect of Akuapera and A k warn (Akwamu). —
The southern dialects are called Fante; they seem to have more
subdivisions and divergences among themselves than the Akan
dialects, and their pronunciation is not so clear and distinct,
and, therefore, less agreeable. We mention the dialects of Elmina
(Edena), Cape Coast (Egua or Ogua), Anamaboe (Onomabo), A bora,
Akumfi, Agyiraako, Gomoa, Agona. The south-western dialects
of Daukyira (a tribe which emigrated from the Asante dominion
in the interior and settled nearer the coast), of Tshiforo (Tshu-
foro, Tofel), of Wasa and Ahanta, are said to belong to the
Akan branch. *)

As we must wish to have a single name for the Akan and
Fante Language, we must keep to Twi, English Tshi, as
hitherto, and as we do in this book, or call it Akan, or Asante,
according to the principle: A parte potiori fit denominatio, —
just as the two chief languages of the Slave-Coast may be or are
called from the principal countries in which they are spoken,
viz, Dahome(y) and Yoruba.

*) Dialects of a language or languages different from Tslii,
formerly more extensively spoken in the southern parts of the
Gold Coast, still exist in Ahanta, Wasa, in the south of Gomoa
and Agona, e. g. the sea towns of Apd, Simpa, Sanya (= Apam,
Winnebah, Seniah) and parts of Akuapem (Date and Kycrepong);
but even where such dialects are spoken in the families, Twi is
also known and used.

III. On the Rendering of Engllsli Words in Tsbl.

The use of this Dictionary will show, that English words
are not always rendered by the same class of words in Tshi.
In the English part the sorts of words or parts of speech are
marked: art. pr. n. a. num. v. ad. prp. conj. int. Concerning
their rendering in Tshi we make the following remarks :

1. The English articles are either not translated, or are ex-
pressed by pronouns used adjectively (i. e. after the nouns);
e. g. dua no, that tree; dua bi, a tree, some tree.

2. Many nouns have been omitted, that signify an action or
actor and are expressed by infinitive forms or by personal
nouns formed by well known prefixes and sufiixes. Like-
wise nouns denoting a quality have been omitted, when
their forms are identical with those of adjectives. Of
compound nouns all those are generally omitted which
are easily translated, e. g. by putting a noun in the pos-
sessive case before another, or by forming a similar com-
pound word.

3. 01 pronouns some easy compositions and combinations have
been omitted.

4. English adjectives are often expressed:

1) by verbs, in which case a. is omitted and to he-, is
added, or v. is placed before the Tshi verbs ;

2) by nouns, placed as attributes in the possessive case
before other nouns ; e. g. a true tvitness - nokvvare dansefo ;

3) by personal nouns, standing in apposition or absolu-
tely, implying the translation of person, maw, e. g.
trustworthy - onokwafo.

XI

5. Numerals in Tshi are rather nouns than adjectives; only
a few have been given, the others (compound and deriva-
tive) and the rendering of the ordinals by the help of
verbs (di, tia, to so) must be looked for in the Grammar,
§ 76—84.

6. Single English veris are often expressed in Tshi:

1) by two verbs, of which only one or both may have
objects or other complements; the place of these (or of
the subject of the second verb) is often indicated by
two dots ; e. g.

tell- ka..kyere, lit. speak (a word) show (somebody);
try- ka..fwe, so..fwe, lit. touch (a thing) look;
sympathise- hu ma.., te ma.., lit. feel give s. b. ;
lengthen- ma..kye, ma. .ware, lit. give or cause s. th
to be long;

2) by a noun that requires the subject of the English verb
put before it in the possessive case, and a verb, e. g.

tremble- ho popo; ne ho popo, lit. his frame shakes;

covet- ani bere, kon do ; n'ani here, lit. his eye red-
dens (concerning s. th ) ; ne kon do nam, lit. his neck
(throat) loves (or deepens concerning) meat;

3) by a verb and a noun being its object or adverbial
complement; e. g.

chastise - ka anim (speak in the face), twe aso (pull the
ear), tua ka (apply the desert, fill up the want «S:c.) ;

check- siu kwaii, sin ano; bere ano ase; lit. to obstruct
or stop the way, the edge; to bring the edge (the mouth,
sharpness) down or low;

4) by combinations of the cases 1 — 3.

XII

The distinction of transitive and intransitive or active
and neuter verbs has been omitted, because many verbs have
both qualities, and in others the quality is self-evident.
Adverbs have generally been omitted, when in English they
are merely formed by ~ly, or, when in Tshi the forms of
the adjectives or reduplications of them are used as ad-
verbs and adj. and ad. agree in meaning. Some adverbs
are rendered by verbs (in which case v. is added), others
by nouns. Negative adverbs in English (as not, never,
nowhere) require the negative form of the verb in Tshi;
e. g. onko ho da, lit. he-not-goes there (any) day = he never
goes there.
The English prepositions are expressed in Tshi:

1) by verbs, especially those which imply a direction;

2) by nouns used as postpositions of other nouns (or
pronouns) and as adverbial complements or adjuncts
of verbs;

3) by verbs and fiouns together; e. g.
ohuru tra oka, he leaps over a ditch;

— both, hum and tra, are verbs;
ote wuram', he lives in the bush ;
oko wuram', he goes into the bush;

— wuram' = wura mu, lit. (the) bush's interior; the
noun 'mu' serves for in and into]

oguan ko wuram', he flees into the bush; — the verb

'ko' and the noun *mu' together serve for into ;
ofi hyen mu si bonto mu, he goes from the ship into a

boat, lit. he leaves ship's interior steps boat's interior;

— the verb 'fi' and the noun 'mu' together serve for

from, the second 'mu' alone for into.

XIII

9. Of the conjunctions in Tshi some are put after the words
or sentences, in which case they are preceded by two
dots ; e. g.

(se) oko a, ey6, if he goes, it is well]
se..a, or.. a, (alone) represent if (or wJien).

10. Of the interjections some are elliptical or contracted sen-
tences.

11. How to use this book may be shown by some examples:
When a word is to be repeated or a stem reduplicated, it
is often marked either by an- or by the first consonant
which should begin the reduplication.

Examples:

a) by-: snare, n. afiri; diff^. parts of a-, viz. of a snare.
serve, v. som; -as hired slave, serve as .. .

faint, V. to piti, -berau, -dobosa = to berau, to dobosa.
bata, -di = batadi.

to he healthy, lio ye, -ye den, -ben = ho ye den, ho ben.
to he valuable, nea eho ye na, -ewg or -edi bo, -..bo ye den
= nea ewo or nea edi bo, nea. .bo ye den.

b) by the first consonant of the reduplication: aniyekramakr-
= kramakrama; akamek- = akamekame; akasak- = akasa-
kasa; posop - = posoposo.

c) by-, which shows forward to a subsequent word: oye
asobi- or anibi-annaso = oye asobiannaso or anibiannaso ; eho
kwanma- or akwannya-nhoma = eho kwahma-nhoma or a-
kwannya-nhoraa.

The Tshi words are generally given in the form in which
they are written in our books. Sometimes other pronunciations
or dialectical deviations are added (in parenthesis) or have As.
Ak. F. &c. added to them.

XIV

The minor differences between the Akan and Fant6 dialects
(e. g. that the former omit the final \v of many Fante and
Akuapem forms, that they prefer final ee, oo, ie, ie, no, — to
e, ew, 0, i, iw, ii, a, uw, and the like) are laid down in the
Tshi or Asante Grammar, and in the Tshi-English Dictionary.
