This is the entry page to the online Logoori dictionary. For the

to explain how things are, and why. It may be useful to first read this paper about special pronunciation properties of Logoori. Then the following pages

Notes to linguists
Final note. The dictionary contains words provided by speakers of Logoori. There is no judgment as to whether a word is "proper Logoori", therefore I include words like ɪdáágɪka 'minute' even though the word was long ago borrowed from Swahili. The word ɪdaranyɪ 'lion' is more ancient, but ɪsíímba 'lion' is more widely used, therefore both words are listed.
