Abstract:
The Busa-English, English-Busa dictionary was compiled by the author
in Nigeria over a 12 year period while translating the Bible into
Busa. It forms a trilogy together with the simultaneously published
Boko and Bokobaru dictionaries. This cluster of languages, of which
the grammar was published by Lincom Europa in 1998, belongs to the
Eastern subdivision of the Mande language family.
The database is root based, so that any word that begins with a
lexeme root will appear as a subentry under that lexeme. The 6600
head and subwords are written in bold Busa orthography, followed by
phonetic representations, including tones and variants, a part of
speech label and glosses in English.
Etymology, synonyms and variants are given as appropriate, with the
etymology showing significant historical borrowing from Dendi.
Comparison of Busa words with the equivalent words in the Boko and
Bokobaru dictionaries illustrates consonant weakening, elision, and
significant changes in the tone systems.
