The compiler s methods of gathering so many lexical items are described in detail. An initial filing card system for lexical items was developed in his earlier linguistic fieldwork. This combination of techniques makes it very probable that a good sample of the lexical richness of the language is represented in this dictionary. The phonology and mode of transcription are clearly described. This is clearly set up to make the dictionary useful for reading Muna texts, whenever Muna texts do in fact get published.
Any dictionary is an on-going project.
The dictionary concludes with a Reverse Index, from English to Muna. The compiler, his publisher, and all those who assisted him are to be congratulated for producing this thorough and well-made dictionary.
