About the Word Not in Dictionary category

Tell me when you can’t find something in the AKT dictionary!

These posts will later turn into updates or Forum posts 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 or subentry followed by pipe ( | ) and then the best translation or ??? if you do not know the translation.

    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.
