THE INDIAN ANTIQUARY.
[August, 1910.
CONTRIBUTIONS TO PANJABI LEXICOGRAPHY.
SERIES III.
BY H. A. ROSE, I.C.S. This Series has been compiled almost entirely from Gazetteers and Settlement Reports relating to Districts in the Eastern Panjab. It includes such stores of words as are contained in the late Sir Denzil Ibbetson's Settlement Report of the Karndl District, Sir J. B. Lyall's Kangra Settlement Report (including the Glossary), and other publications of their school. It also includes somo Bauria words and phrases collected by Mr. S. L. Williams of the Panjab Police, some addenda to the Panjabi Dictionary by Miss Francis, Inspectress of Schools, Panjab, and some definitions of local words by Dr. J. Hatchison of the Chamba Mission.
At least one more Series will be required to exhaust the material available in published books, and as my material is published by degrees, it will be preferable to refer to published articles than to insert words without references. Moreover, several new or revised Gazetteers, etc., are under issue in the Panjab and some of these contain fresh words which will have to be excerpted.
It may be noted that the present Series does not embody Mr. A. H. Diaok's Kuluhi Dialeot of Hindi or the Glossary in the revised Gazetteer of the Kangra District, 1904.
In conclusion, attention is invited to a Supplement to the Panjabi Dictionary by the Rev. T. Grahame Bailey, C.M.S., now ander publication in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, in which a Glossary of Pahari, by Pandit Tika Râm Joshi, will also appear shortly.
