KABARDIAN-ENGLISH DICTIONARY
being a literary lexicon of East Circassian
THIS DICTIONARY IS MAINLY BASED ON THE KABARDIAN-RUSSIAN DICTIONARY, EDITED BY BUBA M. KARDAN, MOSCOW 1957, AND SECONDLY ON THE FOLLOWING WORKS:
1. KABARDIAN-RUSSIAN PHRASEOLOGICAL DICTIONARY, BUBA M. KARDAN, NALCHIK 1968.
2. BOTANICAL DICTIONARY, B. U. HAQUN, NALCHIK 1992.
3. ORTHOGRAPHICAL DICTIONARY, H. URISS, L. ZAKHUOKH, NALCHIK 1982.
4. ENGLISH-KABARDIAN-RUSSIAN PHRASEOLOGICAL DICTIONARY, A. G. EMOUZOV, NALCHIK 1992.
MANY OTHER SOURCES WERE USED TO AUGMENT AND ENRICH THE SEMINAL WORK OF KARDAN, AND MANY AMENDMENTS WERE INTRODUCED TO TAKE ACCOUNT OF SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH THE INITIAL WORD-BOOK WAS PUBLISHED, NOT THE LEAST OF WHICH WAS THE DOMINANT PRESENCE OF COMMUNIST IDEOLOGY AND PROPAGANDA, WHICH UNFORTUNATELY DISTORTED MANY ASPECTS OF CIRCASSIAN HISTORY, CULTURE AND FOLKLORE. MANY OF THE SOVIET ERA TERMS WERE ASSIGNED TO OBSOLETENESS AND BANISHED CULTURAL AND FOLKLORIC TERMS WERE RESTORED.
THE DICTIONARY HAS ABOUT 21,000 ENTRIES ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE KABARDIAN LITERARY CONVENTION. THE NUMBER OF PAGES IS 574, A4 SIZE.
