Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Secwana Dictionary: English-Secwana and Secwana-English
No doubt variations in Spelling will still be found in the vocabulary and other books. Some of these are owing to varying Opinions, and others to a difficulty in deciding upon the proper letters to use. Even in books printed at Kuruman, words will be found which are spelt in more ways than one. In some cases the variations are owing to differences in tribal use in the north and south. These differences are found especially in words written with o and 6, e and e, ts and tsh, lo and le.
When the learner meets with such variations which he is able to test by ear, he must not conclude that mistakes have been made. Neither let the learner conclude when he meets with a word not known in the part where he lives, that this word must be wrong. Some words are in use in one part of the country which are not even known to the natives of other parts.
