Book Description
This "pocket-sized" volume contains all of the Q'eqchi' words of the Q'eqchi' Mayan Dictionary-Second Edition, but omits much of the ancillary content such as illustrations, example sentences, and encyclopedic information. In this way it is a format that will be much easier for travelers trying to pack light to take on the go.It will be a useful and accessible resource for the non-Spanish speaking medical or religious volunteer working in Q'eqchi' communities as well as for Q'eqchi' speakers seeking to work or study in English-speaking countries.There are three principal sections in this Q'eqchi' Pocket Dictionary:Section I contains a simple introduction to Q'eqchi' orthography and pronunciation for English speakers that are new to Q'eqchi'.Section II is an alphabetical list of Q'eqchi' words followed by their parts of speech and English equivalent(s). This section also incorporates a number of new features to this edition, such as the use of subentries with related terms placed under the main entries for many of the headwords. Also included are notes on sense differentiations, notation of neologisms, homonyms, synonyms and antonyms where appropriate.Section III is a reversal index that contains an alphabetical listing of all of the English words corresponding to all of the Q'eqchi' entries in Section II.
