Some of the data cited in this website come from work pursued together with Leonard Ole-Kotikash, Philip Koitelel, Daniel Nalangu, and Sarah Tukuoo (IlKeekonyokie Maasai); Kimeli Ole-Naiyomah, Vincent Konchellah, Renoi and Morompi Ole-Ronkei (IlWuasinkishu); Keswe Mapena and Jonathan Ololoso (IlPurko); Stephen Lentoror and Moses LeKempe (Samburu); and others. Additionally, this this has been informed by the work of Robert Allen, Daniel Blades, Sherri Brainard, Mitsuyo Hamaya, Robert Mix, Linette McDaniel, Cynthia Schneider, Kent Rasmussen, Ando Rasolofo, and others. It also builds on the published vocabulary in Tucker and Mpaayei's Maasai Grammar with Vocabulary (1955), and on a draft dictionary of Samburu by Stephen Wagner. The on-line dictionary is still preliminary. Please do not copy from this description without acknowledgment (links are welcome).
