Note:
In the Ethiopic to English section, Ethiopic words are given in Ethiopic script: The ALPHABETICAL ORDER in this section is according to that of the Ethiopic alphabet as given below, namely, beginning with H (ሀ) and ending with Gw (ጐ).Within the letter section, entries are arranged in order of the seven forms or vowel sounds which follow the consonant:
First form, a simple short –A;
Second Form, a long –U (as in English soon);
Third form, a long –Î (as in English sea);
Fourth Form, a long –Â (as in English aah!);
Fifth Form, a long –E (as in English may, say);
Sixth Form: neutral – either no vowel at all- or a very short I, here shown with –ı;
