grounded first in the structure of their own languages - Nyakyusa
and Swahili. As a trilingual dictionary was not available, he set
out to compile one and this well producced dictionary is the
product. Words, examples and usages are included.

yourself understood, quickly and efficiently, which makes this
dictionary a vital part of your cruising kit. The pocket dictionary
is centred around clear, colour, annotated diagrams, such as parts
of the rig and engine, in each nautical subject area, and makes it
