Other Notes
From the Amazon description: "This is a regular English thesaurus, but the entries are sorted alphabetically using headwords from Cherokee. It cannot be used to translate between the two languages, but may help a fluent speaker of Cherokee who is learning basic English, to learn the ambiguities of the English language and its vocabulary. The synonyms for each headword are not translations; Cherokee words are used to facilitate “looking up” English synonyms."
