Wordlist
This wordlist, taken from the appendix to Wilson 1970, is based on Akol's memories (and thus is considered by Wilson as belonging to the "Turkwell dialect".) He specifically says that he collected words from the other dialect as well, but apparently never published them. The list consists of less than a hundred words, but is unfortunately quite likely to be all the vocabulary that will ever be known of the language.
