^{page 142 note 1} The palatalized velars such as k^v, g^v, and so on, are expressed in the Ethiopic alphabet by k, g followed by y.

^{page 144 note 1} Polotsky says clearly that ‘le langage de Asfaou représente sans doute sa form ažá (op. cit. 138) and elsewhere ‘mon informateur ne parle pas le tchaha proprement dit’ (p. 140). There are, unfortunately, inconsistencies in the speech of his informant resulting from his wish to speak Chaha. Thus, p. 140, ‘decrease’ is qäbbäräm in Eža, and qäpäräm Chaha, ‘plant’ is also qäbbäräm in Eža and qäpäràm in Chaha, contrary to what is given in Polotsky.
