Other Notes

According to the dictionary's description on WorldCat, "this is an English thesaurus designed for Cherokee speakers who wish to better understand the ambiguities and richness of the English language."

According to the dictionary's description on Amazon, "the entries are sorted alphabetically using headwords from Cherokee. It cannot be used to translate between the two languages...The synonyms for each headword are not translations; Cherokee words are used to facilitate 'looking up' English synonyms."
