Well, the beginnings of a Kelabit-English dictionary is finally online, even if its progress has been painfully slow!
It came as a surprise, even to us at Kelabit Net, that in the seven months since we started, we had over 50,000 visitors! However, only five Kelabit visitors wrote in to contribute a few words each. To them, a big thank you. To our other Kelabit visitors, passive so far, please do join in, contribute a word or two, send in corrections or amendments where needed, variations in spelling or pronunciation, dialectical differences even.
Or, should we should try a different approach? Instead of the usual alphabet-by-alphabet approach, what say our hunters submit hunting words, our farmers send us farming terminology, or even things such as traditional greetings, colours, words relating to family relationships and so on! We would appreciate your inputs on this. Send us an !
