A propos de ce livre

Ceci est une copie numerique d'un ouvrage conserve depuis des generations dans les rayonnages d'une bibliotheque avant d'etre numerise avec

precaution par Google dans le cadre d'un projet visant a permettre aux internautes de decouvrir 1'ensemble du patrimoine litteraire mondial en

ligne.

Ce livre etant relativement ancien, il n'est plus protege par la loi sur les droits d'auteur et appartient a present au domaine public. L' expression

"appartenir au domaine public" signifie que le livre en question n' a jamais ete soumis aux droits d'auteur ou que ses droits legaux sont arrives a

expiration. Les conditions requises pour qu'un livre tombe dans le domaine public peuvent varier d'un pays a 1' autre. Les livres libres de droit sont

autant de liens avec le passe. lis sont les temoins de la richesse de notre histoire, de notre patrimoine culturel et de la connaissance humaine et sont

trop souvent difficilement accessibles au public.

Les notes de bas de page et autres annotations en marge du texte presentes dans le volume original sont reprises dans ce fichier, comme un souvenir

du long chemin parcouru par 1' ouvrage depuis la maison d' edition en passant par la bibliotheque pour finalement se retrouver entre vos mains.

Consignes d'utilisation

Google est fier de travailler en partenariat avec des bibliotheques a la numerisation des ouvrages appartenant au domaine public et de les rendre

ainsi accessibles a tous. Ces livres sont en effet la propriete de tous et de toutes et nous sommes tout simplement les gardiens de ce patrimoine.

II s'agit toutefois d'un projet couteux. Par consequent et en vue de poursuivre la diffusion de ces ressources inepuisables, nous avons pris les

dispositions necessaires afin de prevenir les eventuels abus auxquels pourraient se livrer des sites marchands tiers, notamment en instaurant des

contraintes techniques relatives aux requetes automatisees.

Nous vous demandons egalement de:

+ Ne pas utiliser les fichiers a des fins commerciales Nous avons concu le programme Google Recherche de Livres a l'usage des particuliers.

Nous vous demandons done d' utiliser uniquement ces fichiers a des fins personnelles. lis ne sauraient en effet etre employes dans un

quelconque but commercial.

+ Ne pas proceder a des requetes automatisees N'envoyez aucune requete automatisee quelle qu'elle soit au systeme Google. Si vous effectuez

des recherches concernant les logiciels de traduction, la reconnaissance optique de caracteres ou tout autre domaine necessitant de disposer

d'importantes quantites de texte, n'hesitez pas a nous contacter. Nous encourageons pour la realisation de ce type de travaux l'utilisation des

ouvrages et documents appartenant au domaine public et serions heureux de vous etre utile.

+ Nepas supprimer Vattribution Le filigrane Google contenu dans chaque fichier est indispensable pour informer les internautes de notre projet

et leur permettre d'acceder a davantage de documents par 1'intermediate du Programme Google Recherche de Livres. Ne le supprimez en

aucun cas.

+ Rester dans la legalite Quelle que soit l'utilisation que vous comptez faire des fichiers, n'oubliez pas qu'il est de votre responsabilite de

veiller a respecter la loi. Si un ouvrage appartient au domaine public americain, n'en deduisez pas pour autant qu'il en va de meme dans

les autres pays. La duree legale des droits d'auteur d'un livre varie d'un pays a l'autre. Nous ne sommes done pas en mesure de repertorier

les ouvrages dont l'utilisation est autorisee et ceux dont elle ne Test pas. Ne croyez pas que le simple fait d'afficher un livre sur Google

Recherche de Livres signifie que celui-ci peut etre utilise de quelque facon que ce soit dans le monde entier. La condamnation a laquelle vous

vous exposeriez en cas de violation des droits d'auteur peut etre severe.

This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project

to make the world's books discoverable online.

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.

Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

publisher to a library and finally to you.

Usage guidelines

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the

public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to

prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.

We also ask that you:

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for

personal, non-commercial purposes.

+ Refrainfrom automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine

translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the

use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.

+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find

additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just

because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other

countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of

any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

About Google Book Search

INTRODUCTION.

The first Dictionary of the Yoruba language was published

in the year 1843, compiled by Samuel (afterwards Bishop)

Crowther. This was greatly altered and considerably enlarged

for a new edition in 1852. For many years this book was

the standard work on the Yoruba language.

In 1911 an English-Yoruba Dictionary was published under

the general editorship of the Kev. E. J. Sowande, but this

was only intended to meet immediate needs, and, like the

older book, is out of print.

The present Dictionary is indebted to the above works

very largely, and to a number of contributors who have

devoted much valuable time to the work. In addition to

the names of the late Bishop Crowther and the Kev. E. J.

Sowande, those of Mrs. E. Fry and the "Rev. T. A. J. Ogunbiyi

ought to be specially mentioned.

The publishers earnestly request that their attention may

be called to any errors or omissions noticed by users of

the Dictionary. Communications should be addressed to The

Manager, C.M.S. Bookshop, Lagos.C.W.W.

NOTES ON SOUNDS OF CERTAIN LETTERS.

The five vowels, a, e, i, o, u, represent the sounds as heard in the following

English words

—

a has the sound of a in bath,

e „ „ ai in bait,

i „ „ ea in beat,

o ,, „ oa in boat,

u „ „ oo in boot.

There are also two modified vowels and three diphthongs

—

e, a sound which is fairly represented by the short e in such words as

let, met, red.

9, a sound between a and o as heard in taw, water, bought,ai, equivalent to the English i in mile,

oi, nearly equivalent to the English oi in voice, but the o retains its

long sound,au, nearly equivalent to the English ou in round.-

Among the consonants it is only necessary to notice that

—

g is always hard, as in go.

j is always soft, as in jam..h has always its distinct sound as an aspirate, and is never mute.

p and gb have sounds which do not exist in the English language, butcan only be learnt by the ear.

s has the sound of sh, as in shop.

Of the accents, none are employed as in English merely to mark the

stress to be laid on a particular syllable.

The circumflex ( — ) usually indicates a contraction, which is also in all

cases a long syllable, e.g., dabobo, which is a contraction of da-abo-bo.The acute ( ' ) and grave ( * ) accents are simply marks of intonation

i.e., of the rise or fall of the voice.
