Notes

Abstract:
This large section of MS 53826 contains loose pages that discuss Swahili prosody, as well as general linguistics. The theoretical part is combined with extracts of poems that exemplify the concepts. This section is quite disorganized and considerable effort is required to identify the subjects and order. Some material of this section is written on the back of Other documents. Only the handwritten pages are relevant. ( en )
