ABSTRACT

First I must acknowledge my indebtedness to my colleague, Mr. H. L. Shorto, for most kindly supplying me with information on OM prefixes and infixes. All the data on OM here used have been taken from his notes. For OKhm the body of material is smaller and the language much less diverse than OM (many of the OKhm texts being lists of slaves' names and their duties.) It has therefore provided me with many problems and fewer examples than I should have liked.
