Individual session wordlists

From Sereer wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Review wordlists from individual sessions here to avoid repeated elicitation. Remember to post whether your session is group or individual, and try to indicate roughly when it will be happening so that later sessions can adjust their lists to avoid duplicating the work of earlier sessions.

Maintenance note!

We should probably clear out the old (Bari) lists from this page, especially since they weren't searching for anything terribly specific yet. Faytak 04:16, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Here is the old Bari vocab
