    Creator:
    Heath, Jeffrey
    Description:
    an .xlsx spreadsheet with multiple sheets, and each sheet saved in csv format. Sheets are: nouns; flora; fauna; adjectives; numerals; verbs; and other (including adverbs and grammatical morphemes). , The fauna and flora entries are also copied verbatim in the nouns sheet. Species identifications are given where known. The adjectives sheet includes verbs related to the modifying adjectives, and these verbs are also included in the verbs sheet. Noun, adjective, and verb stems often have different tonal forms in different grammatical contexts, and representative forms are presented in different columns in each sheet. For the verbs (except statives), perfective (Pfv) and imperfective (Ipfv) stems are also presented. Many of the adverbs in the "other" sheet are also copied in the nouns sheet. Other columns have codes for lexical tone melody, shape (in CvCv form), and valency (for verbs). English and French translations are provided for each item; for some items additional comments are in another column. , and The .xlsx version is handy for sorting using various criteria (e.g. to get all /H/-melodic stems of CvCv shape). The lexical spreadsheets are designed to be used with the Tigemaxo grammar and the Tigemaxo transcribed/translated texts volume, both in Deep Blue Documents. Similar documents and spreadsheets have been deposited for other Bozo languages covered in this project (Cliffs Jenaama, Jenaama/Sorogaama of Djenné, and Kelenga).
