INTRODUCTION

A new script for the Twi language was adopted in the year 1927-. This script, which is recommended by the International Institute of African Languages and Cultures, has been introduced as a standard script for the majority of African languages.

But this change, while it introduced new symbols and brought the Twi Janguage into line with,the writing and printing of other languages, did not settle the roan y difficulties of spelling. The adoption of.a new script does not a.nswer the question as to whether two words should be written as one, or separately, or joined with a hyphen. There is no book in the old script which can be referred to as a standard for guidance in this rna tter.

The Bible would have been an ideal standard, as it has the widest circulation of all Twi books, but uniortunately it is full of inconsistencies in spelling. It is possible to find the same word spclt in two or even three different wa.ys on the same page of the Bible. The following are a few examples:

UI"~ ho, UXJ~ho, 1JX)V-ho; po-T;)w, pOr:mJ, prow ; mmerekyiku, mmerekyi kuw ; ma fna, mama; - len;, tire, terew, tcrew ; A:V., kuw, kuw ; - na.!} ase, na!}ase, nav-ase, etc.

2. Ahene 7, 1: awisiam.; 16: awi siam; 18: awi-siam. Another idea.l help might have been the new edition of ChristaUer's

Dictiona.ry, published in 1933. This dictionary is one of the most va.luable compiled for the study of a.n Mrican la.nguage, and the a.uthors of this Spelling Book follow it as far a.s possible. This cannot be done in aU cases, beca.use in the old edition of Christaller's Dictionary a.nd in the new edition revised by Rev. J. Schweizer the same word is speit iu two or three different ways in ma.ny insta.nces, e.g. :

Page 306: a11Ulnnehunu (ltv. amane), amanehunu, vma:nnehunufo ; Page 257: lrorokuma (VkOTaw, kuma), L-rokllma-twa; Page 85: adiyiscm, adiyist1Jka. adiyiscmkafo, etc.

During the last few years n number of T .... i. Readers for use in schools and several other books have been produced a.nd care has been exercised to make the spelling in these books consistent. A Revised Version of the Twi Bible is being prepared and the spelling will be based on the spelling found in thi-; book.

8

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

The words are arranged in alphabetical order. not according to prefixes, but according to root consonants. Therefore in consulting this book for the spelling of any word that has a prefix or several prefixes. the word must be sought under the consonant which begins the stem. Fo~

instance, such words as ~4bo. :Hia1). 31asu. o-gua1). o-hene all begin with an :> or 0, but they must be sought under b, d,l. 9, h.

DMSION OF SYLLABLES

1. Monosylla.bic stems may not, of course, be diVIded.

2. The mute or fricative consonants I, h, k, P. T, S, t, Y always belong to the following sylJable, e.g. :

waJa o-lwaam a-kyc 3-hem·'n">t'I o-hen-yere etc J' • • , r-:t • •.

:3. When two of the nasal consonants m, n, ~me between two vowels, the one belongs to the preceding and the other to the succeeding syllable, e.g. :

a-hem-rna!), a-hey-!Jua, !J-A":»n-m:>, a-k:m-713, etc.

4. The combinations ny and yw require particolar attention. The following examples show how words in which they occur flhonld be divided:

o-pa-nyiy, o-pan-yijo, oo-!)u'Oma, !)-wa-ywe-nt, vu'O-ywa, cm-ye (he is not good), on-nye (he does not accept), on-yaw (he does not scold), mn-yaw (he may not scold). on-nyaw (he does not leave), onn-nyll1O (he may not leave), o!}y-!)we-nc mama no (be may not weave the cloth), etc.

fl. If a noun is compounded with another nOUD ba.ving a prefix, the second of U1C component part.s must ILlways go with it.s prefix, e.g. :

alto';)(/(,1) , aso-:x!(1), n:w-01)willi, llsu-ohyew, aJlo-:>m-mercu'. etc.

G. The r(',luplications of verbs nrc divided th1l8 : O-ill-Iu, wJ·ka-sa-ka-sa, UJJ·a-wa-ti-wa-ti.-riw, etc.

RKDUPLICATIONS AND REPETITIONS

(a) Reduplication i~ the doubling of a stem by repetition of the whole stC'll1, or prefixing of a shortened form of it, e.g. :

pnpo, tlalia, pirapira, kurakl~ra, patiripaliriU', keka, popa. boW, (ellll'. 9yigy(', dU'l/dwo, sensa!), 9I1mpJUtl'!J.

(b) Rf'pdition is thf' doubling of the whole word-stem and prefix, {'.g. :

9

Rule: An reduplications and repetitions should be written as one word, except the repetition of singular nouns, verbs (but not their reuuplications), onomatopooic words, and adverbial numerals, e.g. :

barna hama kyere ketebo (repetition of nouns). makye makye kum aberewa (repetit.ion of nouns). yekae kae kae, nso antetam (repetition of verbs). obob:>:> no bam bam bam (repetition of onomatopceic words), wofii acli mmjako mmiako (repet.ition of adverbial numerals). wokyce no abieIj abiel] (repetition of adverbial numerals).

TRANSLITERATION OF FOREIGN NAMES

•

Foreign namE'S should gcncI$l,lly remain in t,hcir foreign fOfm, e.g. : Jam.es, John, Mad.:ay, William, Jones, etc.

But the following is -the principle underlying the transliteration of foreign names used in the Twi Bible and elsewhere:

All double consonants become single in the Twi form, e.g.: Iohane, Helafo, Hana, Filipo, etc.

The consonants y andj a.re represented by i. e.g.: [ohane. e: is k before a. o. u and s before e and i. e.g.: /(arinto. th is t. v is represented by w, e.g.: Dawid. qu is low, e.g.: Akwila. z is like s. e.g.: Zion is like Sian. ch is like /"', e.g.: Arkipo, Sintik~.

Both Gre{'k vowels epsilon and eta. are represented by simple e, and omikron and omega by simple o.

es becomes c, e.g.: H e:nnp. 'is bf':comcsi, e.g.: Sardi. a.s becomes 0, ('.g.: Faldo. u.s becolllf's n, e.g.: Tibrrif).

The English cmling -y is represented by -w, e.g.: Italy becomes Italia.

NOUNS A~D VERBdL NOUNS

Kouns preceding yerbal uouns in an objective position should always

be joined to the yerbal noun, e.g. :

di uoklmrc ku ({stmpa yc adu'lflltrl

nokwaredi aSl:mpaka adwumayc

K .\SALIZATION

{/~'empakafo

adwu1ilayrfo

Nasaiizatilll1 siems fire for practical purposes superfluous. WhNC they arc used in granunars and vocabularies they should be put only all

10

vowels which do not stand before, after, or between the nepal conaoDallte m, 11., !J, ny, e.g. :

never on eM, pam, etc., but on ~fi, so-so, to-lo, etc.

NOTE.-Twenty specimen paradigms are given on pages 11 to 33. Each verb in this book has a figure in brackets indicating the specimen according to which it is conjuga.ted, e.g. :

Irma (5), kura (6), posa (1), pue (2), 10 (3), iua (4) .
