Editorial notes

According to Chambert-Loir, the romanised manuscript has been transcribed carelessly.  He has emended the text extensively, yet many passages remain obscure.  (Teks di bawah ini, meskipun sudah diperbaiki seboleh-bolehnya, masih belum dapat dimengerti seluruhnya dan masih menimbulkan berbagai pertanyaan dan kesulitan, p.20)

The text includes a considerable number of terms in mBojo (or Bimanese}, and a very large number of mBojo names and titles, but also uses Malay in ways influenced by mBojo usage.   Many such instances are noted by Chambert-Loir in his copiously annotated edition, though generally not in this concordance.

Note: Bima titles, names, and mBojo words have not been included in the general index of this concordance.  The easiest ways to locate them are

•  to use the word list for BLR;

•  to use the combined wordlist for the four Bima texts;  or

•  to use the BLR text search with a literal || target.

Preparation

The transcription was prepared by Chambert-Loir and Massir Q. Abdullah from a photocopy of the manuscript in Yayasan Kebudayaan Sulawesi Selatan.  A digital text of the transcription was then provided to the MCP format.  There may be minor discrepancies between the MCP text and the published text.  In any such case, the published text is to be preferred.
