About the Add to the Dictionary category

Add to the Dictionary

Submit words and sayings that you can’t find in the AKT Dictionary!

These posts will later turn into updates that improve the dictionary.

  • DO this category if you think there is a word or expression that should be added to the dictionary

  • DO NOT use this category if you would like to offer an improvement/correction to a headword’s definition. (You can do that with the “Report a Mistake” form.)

  • The topic’s title should be the proposed headword/subentry, the missing word, or a saying/proverb. If you want, you can provide the best short translation after the pipe (|) symbol

    For example:

    Baara | work

    Or:

    Supercalifragilistic | ???

  • Any Manding should be written in standard orthography (that is, using the Latin extended letters [e.g., ɛ , ɔ , ɲ , and ŋ ]). (Here’s a link if you need help typing these characters on your keyboard.)

  • The title can but does not necessarily need to include tone markings.
