Introduction

1. Description and background

At some time between mid-1942 and mid-1944 when he was collecting the
material that later formed the basis of his Classification of the Bantu
languages, Malcolm Guthrie collected a substantial amount of data on
Icibemba (Zambia extending into Zaire, M.42 in Guthrie's classification),
including the field vocabulary of which this is an edited version. This was
typed before he left Africa, and in this form ran to 76 foolscap pages
containing 7-8,000 lexical entries, fully tone-marked - a considerable
achievement in what was probably little more than 6 months' exposure to the
language. One copy of this vocabulary bears subsequent pencilled additions
and corrections, made probably in London where a succession of Zambians
assisted Guthrie in the post-war years. An edited and reduced version of the
vocabulary (hereafter referred to as MG2), with about 2500 entries, was
duplicated and provided to students, but the work has been otherwise
unpublished.
In 1949 the White Fathers at Chilubula published their excellent Bemba-
English Dictionary with close to 20,000 entries, marking vowel-length but not
tone. This dictionary (referredto as WF below) gives fuller glosses and more
generous exemplification, but the two works are often complementary; WF
may inform us that a tree grows in swampy conditions, Guthrie that it is a
source of planks. Guthrie's arrangement often brings out derivational
connections obscured in WF. Some 15% of Guthrie's entries are not to be
found in the dictionary.
There are a number of reasons why the vocabulary requiredediting before
publication. Guthrie used an analytical morphophonemic transcription,
generally very well motivated, but far removed from the orthography now
accepted in Zambia. The order of entries followed a highly idiosyncratic
phonological arrangement further described below, rather than familiar
alphabetical order. And while we have seen fit to retain Guthrie's grouping of
derivationally or etymologically related words within a single entry, cross-
references have been generated so that each word may be found from its place
in alphabeticalorder. An English index has been added, and opportunitytaken
to make minor corrections. A comparison of the original and edited forms of a
few consecutive entries is given in Figure 1.

2. Orthography
In the edited vocabulary we have in general followed the modem orthography
of Icibemba, transcribing from the analytical orthography used by Guthrie.
The original transcription was probably too abstract for popular adoption,
although some of its features would be a technical improvement on present
practice. In its early form however Guthrie's transcription contained some
ambiguities which have had to be resolved editorially.
Guthrie regarded semi-vowels (y and w) as the realisation of vowel-
sequences. Thus uibwalwais written {uibualua} and umufyala {umufiala} -
Guthrie's spellings are hereafter enclosed in braces. Other vowel-sequences
result in a long vowel: so umweni {umueni} but abeeni {abaeni}; {ae},
{ee} (and {ai }) are all to be pronounced ee, but the variety of representation
adoptedby Guthrieallows each prefix and stem to be spelled in a constantway
regardless of the elements that precede or follow. Figure 2 illustrates such
vowel-sequences and their pronunciationand modem spelling.
{aa} - aa {ia} - ya {ua} -wa
{amaato} -> amaat6 {iliasi} -> ilyashi {ubuato} -uibwatb
cf. ubwat6 'boat' 'conversation' 'boat'
{ae} - ee {ie} -* ye {ue} - we
{amaela} - ameela {imiele} - imyele {umuele} -uumwele
cf. ubwela 'fish-spear' cf umwele 'knife' 'knife'
{ai} - ee {ii} - ii {ui} - wi
{amaino} -> ameeno {iliin} -> iliino {umuipia} - umwipwa
cf. iliino 'tooth' 'tooth' 'nephew'
{ao} - oo {iol -- yo {uo} - oo
{abaonausi -4 aboonaushi { imiona} -o imyona {umuona} - umoona
cf. umoonaushi 'destroyer' cf. umoona 'nostril' 'nostril'
{au} - oo {iu} -- yu {uu} -i uu
{amaulu} - amoolu {imiuba} -e imyuba {ukuulul} - ukuulu
cf. ukuulu 'leg' cf. umuuba 'bellows' 'leg'
Figure 2
A vocabulary ofIciBemba ix

Sequences of more than two vowels are sometimes to be found in

Guthrie's spellings, and their realisation follows no clear rules. For example
{ikipooe} is realised icipoowe, but {isiui } is realised ishiwi. An extreme
example is {ikiuaia} (iciwaaya). Guthrie later introduced y and w to
separatevowels belonging to different syllables where there was no separating
consonant (w before or after o and u, y otherwise).
Pre-nasalised consonants mb,ns, nk etc. are spelled systematically {nb,
ns, nk } etc. by Guthrie, so that the prefix { in- } for example retains the same
spelling regardless of the following consonant. nd is spelled {fnl , a spelling
well motivated morphophonemically(and indeed phonemically), cf. ululimi/
indimi {ululimi/inlimi} 'tongue/tongues'. {nb, nl, ng} may also be
realised mm,nn, nny and Urin circumstancesexplained furtherbelow.
Guthrie's { s } represents both s and sh, taking the latter value before { i}.
Hence {umusi} for umushi, and also {isiuko} for ishuuko. The distinction
is perhaps not merely allophonic, since for example ukusaama 'dangle'
contrasts with ukushaama 'suffer ill-fortune', but the adoption of Guthrie's
spelling reveals the complementarydistributionof the two sounds:
ubusaka umusebo ulushimu icisongo ulusuba
{ubusaka} {umusebo} {ulusimu} {ikisongo} {Ilusuba}
umusaalu ukuseepa akashiishi ifisooso imisuula
{umusaalu} {ukuseepa} {akasiisi} {ifisooso} {imisuula}
ukushaala ukusheeta ukushooka ukushuuka
{ukusiala} {ukusieta} {ukusioka} {ukusiuka}
iciswango ubusweshi uluswili
{ikisuango} {ubusuesi} {ulusuili}
It will be seen that s occurs before all vowels except i, while sh occurs before
any long vowel, but only before short i; neither consonant occurs before y
(the structuralplace is taken by sh + long vowel), and only s occurs before w.
In a similar way Guthrie uses {k } and {g } to represent c and j before the
front vowels i and e, assuming a vowel sequence commencing i wherever c
or j are followed by a back vowel, e.g. {kiona} for coona. This is less
satisfactory; there is considerable individual and dialectal variation, and
established loanwords such as iciingeleshi 'English' have introduced g
before e. Guthrie used c and j in MG2, and this has been used as a guide to
interpretation. There remain ambiguities however: we cannot be sure for
example whether Guthrie's {umu-koloki} represents umukoloci or
umukoloki: the WF give both, and Guthrie's approach to phonology would
countenance different rules of realisation at different points in the structureof
the word.
Icibemba has a phonological constraint (known elsewhere as the Ganda
law or Meinhof's rule) which causes the sequences mb,nd, nj and ng to be
x Malcolm Guthrieand Michael Mann

realised mm,nn, nny and Or when they are followed in the next syllable by a
prenasalised consonant. Thus:
ilulamba/ innamba 'river-bank' cf. iululiilo / indiilo 'dish'
ulubansa / immansa 'courtyard' ulubali / imbali 'side'
uilwembe/ innyembe 'razor' ulwela / injela 'dulcimer key'
Guthrie's practice was to write the underlying plosives: {ingonbe} -
irjombe, {inbansa} -> immansa, leaving the reader to make the
phonological resolution. We have preferredto write a double nasal; we have
however retaineda cross-referencefrom Guthrie's spelling.

3. Segmentation
Guthrie lists both verbs and nominals (nouns, adjectives etc.) according to
their stem; the WF do the same for verbs and adjectives but list nouns under a
variantof their singularprefix. This is perhapsthe most widespreadpractice in
Bantu lexicography, but Guthrie's practice has much to recommend it; it
brings together verbs and their nominal derivatives, and it removes frequent
hesitation when the singularform of a noun is of dubious occurrenceor cannot
be uniquely deduced from its plural, augmentative or diminutive forms; it has
been followed e.g. in Benson's Kikuyu-English dictionary and Van
Avermaet'sDictionnaire kiluba-francais.
We have followed Guthrie's practice, except that we have treated as stem
what is left after the removal of regular prefixes (noun-class prefixes,
adjectival prefixes, reflexive object prefix); Guthrie further removed certain
static elements on grounds that can only be justified by etymology and by
certain distributional properties. Thus amampanda'fork' we have segmented
dmaImpdndaafter the prefix ama-, but Guthrie has segmented amamIpanda,
regarding -m- as an 'augment', an invariably low-toned element resembling a
noun-class prefix, but playing no part in the concord system. Similarly
Guthrie has listed -cecem- 'chatter (of teeth)' under cem, regardingthe initial
ce as arising from an (unproductive)process of radical 'preduplication'.In all
cases where our segmentation differs from Guthrie's, we have retained cross-
references at the place suggested by his segmentation.
Segmentation (our own and Guthrie's) has been equally marked by a
vertical line, e.g. Ipande 'yard length', -i Ibwanshik- 'topple over',
-paa paata 'entreat'; the symbol + is used where the segmentation comes
between two letters in Guthrie's transcription that have a combined
realisation, e.g. {iH+gana 'headpad' (-* irand), { ma+insi} 'water' (-e
ameenshi).

4. Collation
Guthrielisted vocabularyin an orderdeterminedby a numberof criteria:
(i) C1, in the order: p b m f t 1 n s k g/
(ii) The quality of V1, in the order: a i u e o
(iii) C2, in the order: p p b fb m f ft t l nsnss k k0 ng r
(iv) The quantity and tone of V1, in the order: a a aa aa etc.
(v) The quality of V2 etc.
The order is illustrated in Figure 3, which is restricted to verbal entries. We
have substituted conventional alphabetic listing, except that a double nasal
consonant at the startof a stem has been treatedas if the first nasal were partof
the prefix, e.g. icin Inanda 'musical instrument'.

5. Tone
Guthrie's method of marking tone has been retained in this edition except to
the extent entailed by other orthographicmodifications (e.g. {ia -} ya).
Taking the case of disyllabic noun-stems with full prefix, Guthrie
distinguishes:
Ia ulupako hollowin tree Ha iulupali barkbag
lb umupaka boundary IIb akapale squirrel
(the numbering of the tone-groups is drawn from later work, e.g. MG2; tone-
group IIa is sometimes represented ulupali). In tone-groups Ib and IIb tones
are invariable, and the tonality of the prefix is determined by that of the stem.
The other two tone-groups have realisations varying with syntactic context,
e.g.
xii Malcolm Guthrieand Michael Mann

Opencontext, Closedcontext, Finalcontext

e.g. beforeverb e.g. beforeadjective
Ia ulupako [-- -] ulupako [-_--] ulupako [-- -]or [ ---]
Ha ulupali [----] ulupali [-_- ] ulupali [---]
Note that an utterance-final sequence of high tones is heard as barely raised
above low and drifting down, but, Guthrie maintained, the final syllables of
IIa nouns showed no down-drift. It is this form that is heard if words are
elicited in isolation.
Icibemba verbs display in the infinitive form the same tonal variability as
we have seen in nouns of tone-groups Ia and IIa; in this case however Guthrie
has chosen to represent the underlying tonality abstracted from the many
surface forms of the verbal conjugation; at this level only two tone-groups are
to distinguished, irrespectiveof the numberof syllables in the verb-stem:
I -pok- 'receive' (ukupoka) cf. Ia ulupako
II -p61- 'get cured' (ukupola) cf. Ha ulupali
For fuller discussion of Icibemba verbal tonality see Guthrie 1945, Sharman&
Meeussen 1955-6, Mann 1969, Sharman 1963.
