These first two lessons have presented a lot
of Samala words. Many of these words are core vocabulary that shows
up in lesson after lesson, while others are simply examples of some point
about sound structure — such as  mak ak
"to stammer, stutter," which shows two glottalized consonants
in a single word. |
Here is a list of core vocabulary from Lessons
one and two. These are words that you'll see (and hear and hopefully say)
over and over, so it helps to be familiar with them.
