  jfmnote    = {The author 'had lived among the Ndebele for fourteen years as a member of the London Missionary Soc. before producing it, and it is a much more ambitious project than either of its predecessors and some of it successors' (Fortune 1979:42f). The first part contains some 6,000 English entries with 'Tebele' and 'Shuna' translations. Then follows 'Tebele-English' and 'Shuna-English' parts. The vocabularies are 'preceded by a grammatical outline ... and followed by a series of phrases divided into sections dealing with Travel, Cattle, Work, Buying, and the like' (Fortune 1979:43). 'A reprint published 1897 omitted the last section, though leaving it referred to in the contents, and ended at page 398' (Doke 1945:82). The second edition of 1912 was retitled 'Notes for a Sindebele dictionary and grammar'.},
