cal terms and diseases should be of special use to sailors and doctors
respectively, and housekeepers will find a veiy complete list of foods
and household terms.
In the preparation of this vocabulary I am particularly indebted
to Favre's Malay-French Dictionary and to Klinkert's Malay-Dutch
Pocket Dictionary. When in doubt as to the precise meaning of a-
word I have occasionally referred to Wilkinson's Dictionary, Part I^
but as the second part has nqj; yet been published this work has only
been referred to in regard to such words as come in the first half of
the Malay alphabet. My list of words has been compared with other
vocabularies in order to ensure that no important word has been
omitted. Several alterations and additions have been made at the
Preface.

valuable assistance which he has rendered me by reading and criticis-
ing the manuscript previous to publication.

INTRODUCTION.
The Vowels.
The vowels have the continental sounds
five :
a as in father. o as in hole.
e as the .ey in they. u as in rude.
i as in ravine.
in Malay when it occurs at the end of a word is not sounded like the

and i,"! The other Arabic letters have been transliterated as fol-
Tlie nasal letter 'ain c. which changes its sound according to the
before the vowel. The purely Arabic letters given above are very
generally mispronounced by Malays, dh being pronounced as z, th as
*, and sometimes / as p, and z as j. Such words are given in the
vocabulary under both letters in order to mak6 it easy for the student
to find them; thus idhin will also be found under izin, and thalatlw,
under salasa.
Orthographic Signs.
As already stated, the inverted couuna represents the Arabic nasal
letter 'ain. It is placed before the vowel which has the nasal sound,
as in the words 'alam, 'ihnu, m'aliin, do' a.
The apostrophe represents the Arabic sign hamzah, both at the
end of a word as described above and also in the middle of a word
between two vowels, where it indicates that the vowels must be pro-
nounced separately this is also the case where the short vowel sound
;
consonants m
and n, as in the words 'mas, 'ritah, 'lygan, etc.
Tlie hyphen is used in this Vocabulary to show the division of
the words into syllables, except w]iere the division is marked by ani
apostrophe or an inverted comma or by the mark which shows where '

transitive, and where the preiix is m that the verb is transitive ; in the
latter caseone of the siilBxes kan or
sometimes given to show
i is
which of these forms is most commonly used; in some cases either
accent depends a great deal upon the position of the word in the sen-
tence. For instance when the words tiarg, iurun or ialian come at the
end of a sentence the accent falls on the last syllable, but when placed
elsewhere in the sentence there is some uncertainty as to the accent,,
though it generally seems to be on the penultimate. Words of Arabic
origin are often accentuated by the Malays in a manner different from
the Arabs. In this vocabulary no attempt has been made to indicate
the original Arabic pronunciation; the aim has been to accentuate
every word in the way in which it is ordinarily pronounced by Malays
in the colloquial language.
Accent in Derivatives.
Synonyms.
Another special feature of this vocabulary is that synonyms or
words of cognate meaning and sometimes those of exactly opposite
meaning, are referred to in the case of a very large proportion of the
words. This is intended to open up a very wide field of study to those
who wish to make a careful comparison of the precise meanings of
Malay words, and who desire to be able to discriminate between words
of nearly similar meaning. The advanced student is strongly re-
commended to make sxich words a special study.
