The native vocabulary is by no means meager, and one is often surprised that people living such seemingly narrow lives as they do have in constant use such a copious vocabulary. Their thoughts as a rule can be expressed in fewer words than in English. For instance, they will say bona, to see; _bonwa_, to be seen; _bwene_, to have seen; _bonana_, to see each other; _boneka_, to be visible; _bonela_, to see for; and _bonesha_, to see clearly, and some verbs have additional forms. Again, in the use of verbs, such as _go_, they will have different words to express various phases of it: _Ya_, to go; _benda_, to go stooping, as after game; _fwamba_, to go quickly; _endenda_, to go for a walk; _ambuka_, to go aside, or astray; and so on for eighteen different words. The especial difficulty of the missionary is to secure the proper words to convey spiritual conceptions not generally met with in their comprehension; such as, _faith_, _holy_, _save_, _cross_, _heaven_, and even in the word for God there is often a difference of opinion among missionaries as to the word to be used. Among all tribes there seems to be a word for God, but the conception upon which it is based is so degrading that one often hesitates to make use of it in referring to the Holy and Omnipotent One Whom we have learned to revere. Two opinions are prevalent among missionaries in reference to some of the words. One is to make use of the words already found in a language and to seek to build up upon those words a new conception altogether foreign to the native line of thought. Others think that it is better to introduce a new word and attach the desired meaning to it. I think it is safe to say that the former is the method generally employed among translators, but whether it is in all instances the best method is open to question.
