INTRODUCTION
Scope of the Dictionary The people on the islands of Rennell and Bellona in the Solomon Islands speak a Polynesian language perhaps most closely related to Samoan, East Uvean, Futunan, and Tikopian, but containing many non-Polynesian words. The Rennellese and Bellonese dialects comprise a single language spoken by about 2,400 people. Approximately 16,000 words are defined in this Dictionary, including proper names, compounds, derivatives, common sequences of bases, and Bellonese variants. The vocabulary, both ancient and modern, includes religious terms intelligible only to the performers of the old rituals, some of whom still live, and loan words used by young people in 1972 ('eapili 'airfield'; pamolo 'tractor' and sikola 'outboard motor' named for the brand names "Farmall" and "Sea Gull"). Names of approximately 1,000 flora and fauna (not counting Bellonese variant names) are included, many with Latin names established by Danish scientists, whose numerous scientific expeditions to Rennell began in 1951. About 1,850 Rennellese and Bellonese words are traced back to ancestral Proto Polynesian and Proto Nuclear Polynesian. Work on the Dictionary began in 1957, and has continued intermittently thereafter by the author and by numerous Danish scholars. The list of words, however, is not complete. When the book was in press in 1975, new words, derivatives, and meanings were being found in stories written out by Bellonese and mailed to Copenhagen, and in tape recordings being analyzed at that time. Any laborer on a dictionary must bear this cross: he can never finish his work! Readers of the Dictionary will discover that male Moa and female Tebegi have many adventures in the illustrative sentences, but any resemblance whatsoever of their activities to those of persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
Arrangement of the Dictonary The alphabetization and capitalization system of the Dictionary are described below, and the possible items within an entry are then listed in the order in which they occur. 1. The entries are in alphabetical order (see the section on Pronunciation). The digraphs gh and ng represent single sounds and are treated as single letters except that for convenience capitalized words beginning with gh- and ng- are written Gh- (as in Ghali) and Ng- (as in
-,
.
..
--
Ngagu) instead of GHali and NGagu. In the alphabetization ghali follows gueu in the Dictionary and ilgagu follows nuku. The glottal stop (') is ignored in the alphabetization except that me'a follows mea. Words with the same spelling but with different meanings are numbered in the approximate order of frequency of occurencc and entered in the same paragraph. Honorific names begin with capital letters, and the words comprising them are separated by hyphens. Thus, Gau-Terea (Bellonese Ngau-Tetea) 'Pale-Leaves', an honorific name for taro, and 'Ugzr-Henua (Bellonese ' Uizgu-Henua) 'Land's-Crown', an honorific name for coconuts. Entries include single words that may be used alone, particles that in general show grammatical relationships, compounds (sequences of more than one word with meanings not clear from the meanings of the sum of the components, as inanukitai 'cormorant', literally, bird-to-lake; also a few sequences in extremely common use, as agatu'u /Bellonese augatu'ul 'main trail', literally, established path), and phrases (sequences of words commonly used together, as 'ago huge /Bellonese 'ango hangel 'house interior'). Only the initial letter is given of entries repeated in illustrative phrases and sentences. Questionable entries and scientific names of flora and fauna are followed by question marks. 2. Bellonese variants. Both Rennellese and Bellonese forms are entered in the Dictionary, but the definitions are under the Rennellese form, partly because this is the more conservative of the two dialects, but chiefly because there are more speakers of Rennellese (about 1,500) than of Bellonese (about 900). The Bellonese variants refer the reader to the Rennellese form. The principal difference between the two dialects is that Rennellese g and ng coalesce in Bellonese to ng. Thus gau 'leaf' is defined in the g's, and the entry ngau is "see gau". A few words with gh- . . . -gh in Rennellese are gh- . . . -ng or ng- . . . -gl7 in Bellonese and are treated in the same way. The purpose of this system, which was devised largely by Rolf Kuschel, is to make it easy for speakers of both dialects to locate words in the Dictionary. 3. The parts of speech are nouns (N), verbs (V), nounlverbs (NV), pronouns, possessives, demonstratives, prepositions, conjunctions, exclamations, and particles. (English adjectives are verbs in Rennellese and Bellonese.) Nouns are classified according t o semantic headings and to possessive class (a or 0). The abbreviations used are listed with other abbreviations in a later section. The notation common (corn.) follows the part of speech of words in extremely common, every-day usage. 4. Definitions follow the part of speech. Some words have many English equivalents (gaataki has 16, pau 15), and some such as rzebe, can be rendered into English only by rather long explanations. 5. The literal meanings of entries consisting of more than a single word are given when possible, as well as of some highly figurative illustrative sentences. See Nukumaagongo. 6. Illustrative phrases and sentences. Many of the latter are from From the Two Canoes, 1965, by Elbert and Monberg; the spelling of Rennellese and Bellonese names, however, and the translations, d o not always exactly match those in Canoes. The translations are quite literal, in places at the expense of graceful readability; the redundancy of the original is
retained in the translation. References to texts in Canoes are written T63:ll or T41(B): 4 (see Abbreviations). For citations from the forthcoming grammar, see EIbert in the References. No quotations are taken from the Rennellese gospel (see Na Goiio . . . in the References) because this volume is not used or accepted by the Rennellese and Bellonese. 7. The term See near the end of an entry precedes related words in the dictionary or pertinent references, usually to Canoes or the grammar. The term See ex. precedes entries or references in which the word is used in a sentence or phrase. The word cited is followed by a number if homonyms exist; if a derivative is cited it is followed by the entry in italics, as: See ex., hakakaso (kaso 2). 8. Words of English and Melanesian pidgin English origin are labelled Eng. and pidgin Eng. Some English loans, long in the language, are fixed, as galzumanu 'government', but some of more recent origin are pronounced in various ways, depending to some extent on the speaker's knowledge of English. 'School', which means Christianity as well as school, is pronounced sikulu, sku!, skulu, sukulu (entered this way in the Dictionary), and those who have been to school prefer to use the English spelling. 9. Many words are marked R (pre-Christian religion and ritual). Most of them were not known to persons over thirty in 1972. Self-demeaning terms, used in humbling prayers to the gods and ancestors and in ceremonial speeches to elders and brothers-in-law, are labelled Demean. Illustrative citations from the chants known as tangi are marked tangi. Flowery and figurative citations and words especially heard in songs are marked Poetic. Words marked Rare are of infrequent occurrence in ordinary conversation. 10. Restricted (restr.) and RESTRICTED (RESTR.)labels. Words of the first type are inelegant and are avoided in what the Rennellese and Bellonese call 'mixed' (higohigo) company (where a man's sister or brother-in-law might be present). RESTRICTED words are also avoided, except in curses, but much more scrupulously. A few are so shocking that English fourletter words have been used as translations. If the restriction applies only to an illustrative sentence within an entry, it follows that sentence. If it applies to an entire entry, it comes near the end of the entry. I I . Bases (B:) of words (for example, ~?zonzott~, ~tzootunga,nzotu 'anga, nzotumotu, and nzotusia are derivatives of the base mottr). Such derivatives (Der:) are listed after the bases. Some derivatives have obvious meanings and are not defined. Reduplications such as momotu and motumotu usually express frequentative action ; mootunga and and motu 'anga are nominalizations; nzotusia is a passive/transitive. Other common derivatives usually listed under bases but not always specifically defined include -a and -ina (usually multiplicatives, see namu and ghaghumiina), the reciprocals (hebase 'aki or variant), indicative of reciprocal or plural action (see kisikisi), the causatives (mentioned in the next paragraph), and the nominalizations (base -nga or 'anga). 12. Certain common and productive derivatives are entered in the same paragraph as the base. These are the causatives baa-, bee-, haa-, and haka-, the reciprocals Ite- . . . 'aki and 'anga nominalizers. The parts of speech, definitions, variants, and a few -nga and base
-+

.1.
illustrative phrases and sentences, "see" references, and religious, poetic, and restrictive labels occur in the same order as they do for the base. Derivatives for which no bases occur are entered thus: -mouhai. hakamoultai. The definitions then follow. A few cross references under baa-, bee-, llaka. and he- refer the reader to bases. The reader should learn t o look first under the base for such forms. For example, hnaghaghi, hakagosigosi, and Iteghaliaki are defined under ghaghi, ,gosigosi, and gltaliaki. Reduplications and passive/imperatives that merit defining are entered separately rather than in the same paragraph as the base, but are listed with the other derivatives. 13. The last items in the entries are Proto Polynesian (PPN) and Proto Nuclear Polynesian (PNP) reconstructions. The term PPN indicates that cognates of the entry occur in Tongan, the term PNP that cognates have not been noted in Tongan, but do occur elsewhere (PNP cognates are entered only if PPN cognates have not been found). Reconstructions were obtained from computer printouts prepared by the University of Hawaii and Auckland University, and were checked against Churchward (for Tongan), Milner (for Samoan), Bataillon (for East Uvean), and occasionally Pukui and Elbert (for Hawaiian). The list might have been altered o r considerably increased had dictionaries of Niue and East Futuna been available. Reconstructions with slight meaning differences are marked "Probable" or "Possible"; differences in phonemic shapes are obvious. Following is a list of consonant correspondenccs: PPN . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . p t k f s h w m n n g l r h h v m n ng 1-0 Tongan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . p t , s k f PNP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . p t k f s h w m n n g 1 East Uvean . . . . . . . . . . . . . . p t k f s h v m n n g 1 Samoan . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Long vowels are shown doubled. If selection of one of two or more reconstructed sounds is impossible, the alternants are shown in parentheses. For example, the word for land: Tongan fonua Samoan fnnua East Uvean fenua Rennellese henua f (a, e, o)nufl PPN A phoneme present in some of the daughter languages, but not in others, is shown in parentheses. Thus a word meaning to visit: Tongan 'a'asi, Rennell and Bellona a'asi, PPN (')aqasi. Also listed as the last item in a few entries are Melanesian and Polynesian Outlier words that resemble Rennellese and Bellonese words believed of non-Polynesian origin. Such words
are preceded by the name of the language. (All Rennellese and Bellonese words containing gh and 1 are non-Polynesian; see Elbert 1962 in the References.) No assumptions are made as to whether these words are chance resemblances, loan words, or from a substratum. Most of the Melanesian words were provided by Brian Hackman of the Geological Survey in the Solomons (also see Elbert 1967b in the References). A great many Polynesian and Melanesian doublets occur, as ghali and babe 'fast', toghi and koti 'cut', and titiko and koli 'defecate'. Of these, gkali and titiko are in common use, and toghi and koti seem to be equally common. In general, a Polynesian origin seems most likely for the vast majority of words in Rennellese and Bellonese.
Acknowledgments This book could never have been presented in its present form had it not been for the financial and material help of certain foundations and universities, the cheerful and often brilliant assistance of the Rennellese and Bellonese, and the inspiration and help of my Danish colleagues. The Tri-Institutional Pacific Program and the University of Hawaii supported my first venture into the Solomons in 1957-1958. The Danish Indo-Pacific Expedition made it possible to visit the two islands again in 1962 with the research vessel Noona Dan. With the help of a research grant from the Fulbright Foundation, I was in Denmark in 1964 and 1965, and worked with Torben Monberg for ten months and Taupongi of Bellona for about six months. The Linguistics Department of the University of Hawaii, supplied clerical aid throughout the years and teaching reductions, and paid Joseph Puia's salary for several months in 1970. Finally I wish to thank the Pacific Division of the East Asian Institute of the University of Copenhagen for splendid office facilities in 1973 and 1974, and the National Museum of Denmark and the Carlsberg Foundation for final publication of the book. Rennell Island received me with kindness and hospitality in 1957. Of my many informants and friends, Headman Togaka and Timothy Sau'uhi helped me on their island in 1957, 1958, and 1962, and in Honiara in 1966. Joseph Puia, a merry lad in 1957, was in Honolulu in 1970 and acted as informant in a University of Hawaii seminar concerned with a grammatical analysis of Rennellese; at the same time he checked much of the dictionary. Temoa Puangongo and Paul Sa'engeika of Bellona had for many years provided Taupongi (Temoa's son) and Torben Monberg (Sa'engeika's adopted son) with information, much of which reached me through them. In 1972 I worked particularly with Daniel Tuhanuku, Sengeika Tepuke, Tepaikea Puia, and Tebaiata, each of whom made important contributions. But the greatest help by a Pacific islander throughout the years came from Taupongi of Sa'aiho, Bellona, who not only provided shelter, sustenance, and information on Bellona, but worked tirelessly with Torben Monberg and me in Honolulu in 1961, and in Copenhagen in 1964-1965. He supplied most of the illustrative sentences in the Dictionary,
some of which reflect his humor, his interest in American politics of the time, and his fondness for Denmark. During my four visits to the Solomons, the British officials were helpful in many ways. and I am grateful for their hospitality and friendship, especiaIIy that of Derek and Vrai Cudmore, Renn Davis, John Grover, Sir John and Lady Gutch, Brian Hackman. and James and Margaret Tedder. In the United States many friends and relatwes proffered help and bore u p uith my long absences; of these 1 can only mention here Kathleen Klepetko of Den~ver,who shouldered a mammoth and onerous proofreading task. In Copenhagen Sofus Christiansen of the University of Copenhagen and Torben Wolff of the Zoological Museum supplied scientific names for flora and fauna, and read the galleys containing these names. Rolf Kuschel of the University of Copenhagen helped plan the final form of the Dictionary. H e was a virtuoso colleague on Bellona in 1972, and in the final stages of the book was a sharp-eyed editor and proof reader. Without his many hours of work the Dictionary could never have been printed in 1975. Torben Monberg of the University of Copenhagen has inspired many years of effort, and has constantly encouraged me to check rigorously and expand prudently, as we11 as supplying invaluable information about all manner of subjects, but especially concerning the social organization and the old religion. My final and only regret is that the modesty of Torben Monberg and Rolf Kuschel has prevented them from granting my request that they be named as co-authors of the Dictionary.

PRONUNCIATION O F RENNELLESE A N D BELLONESE
Corzsonan~s p, t, k: voiceless bilabial, dental, and velar stops about as in English but with less aspiration. t is slightly palatalized before i and e, especially on Bellona. b and gh: voiced bilabial and velar fricatives, about like b and g in Spanish abogado. A few people at the Lake on Rennell pronounce b somewhat like English v. g: a voiced prenasalized velar stop, like ng in Englishfinger (but never like ng in sing), but often occuring at the beginning of a syllable or word. Not in Bellonese. s and I?: voiceless alveolar and glottal fricatives, about as in English. m, n, ng: voiced bilabial, alveolar, and velar nasals (ng as in English sing, never as infinger, but often at the beginning of a syllable or word). I: a voiced alveolar lateral, about as in English. A common variant is d as in English door. ': a glottal stop, similar to the sounds between the oh's in English oh-oh. All consonants occur initially and medially and never at the end of a word or syllable or next to another consonant, except that in fast Bellonese, double consonants occur, as ttaka 'to step on', slow tataka. Only the slow pronunciation is indicated in the Dictionary. Vowels a: mid-open vowel like a in far. e: mid-front vowel like e in bet. i: high-front vowel like ee in see. o: mid-back vowel like o in sole. u: high-back vowel like oo in moon These vowels occur without off-glides. All may be doubled. In fast speech vowels preceding pauses are frequently voiceless, or they may be doubled (and stressed) for emphasis. Neither of these phenomena are indicated in the Dictionary. Rising diphthongs ei, eu, oi, ou, ai, ne, ao, au: these are stressed on the first member, but the two members are not as closely joined as in English. Stress Primary stress usually occurs on the next-to-the-last vowel in words, phrases, and sentences, with secondary stress on alternating preceding syllables. Double vowels are treated as consisting of two syllables. The same stress rules apply. Thus, ghahgho 'to make twine' and
I
hzetkpe, yam species. Compare hciahirze 'women' and b60 rjtu 'go away'. The accoustic effects of the double -aa- in gllndgho and h2ahirze are very different; there is rearticulation of the second vowel in glza-dgho, none in hciahine. Three-syllable words from English are stressed on the first syllable, as Ibghabi 'rugby' and ldkira 'doctor'. Some people pronounce d and I. in loan words and pronounce consonant clusters (as in school).
