1 Zombo is the name of the particular dialect of kiKongo which is described.

2 The book contains no less than 10 appendixes, which, among other things, give a comprehensive synopsis of Zombo morphology. This is a most valuable tool for understanding the structure of items in examples.

3 With only the most minor modifications the model is based wholly on Guthrie's Bantu sentence structure, London, School of Oriental and African Studies, 1961.
