Description

Calcutta: Baptist Mission Press, 1919. — xiv; 989 p.Containing a vocabulary of approximately twenty thousand words with their Tibetan equivalents. This dictionary is significant because it contains some Sikkimese and Dzongkha words as well as Tibetan. The author based this dictionary on previous works by de Köros, Jäschke and Das. In the 4-page Preface he tells the interesting story of how he came to write it and his contact with such luminaries of the then Anglo-Indian-Tibetan establishment as D. Macdonald, H.B. Hannah, E.Denison Ross, J.C. White, Sir Thutob Namgyal, Sir Ashutosh Mukerjee and Sir Harcourt Butler.
