Peacock Dictionary Draft
Note o n t h is dr aft: This is still a very rough draft, with many entries only partially checked or examined, and
plenty of typing and spelling errors waiting to be corrected. In addition, there is a persistent feature of the
software used that misplaces the second pronunciation when there is one. This will be corrected only in the
final draft. Similarly, the = entry should come before Syn/Ant/cf, but we have not moved them for the draft.
We welcome all comment&particularly want to know two things:
Should we put pronunciation in Bse script as well?
Should we mark all split verbs, or only those which are not obviously noun-verb compounds?
Should we mark them in the entry word, or within the pronunciation?
Please let us know what you think at <inkish@mac.com>
Starting toward the end of the 20th century, the Burmese language has gained many new words,
reflecting a newly intensified exposure to international political, economic, and social concepts
(e.g., eZ;kXk\s^;pXa;er; market economy). Many writers and scholars are still defining these new
concepts, and searching for the words to convey them. Some of the new words have not firmly
entered the common vocabulary yet, and some will undoubtedly be superseded. However, the
intention of the compilers is to include as many new words that may be found in contemporary
books and magazines as possible. As an excellent scholarly dictionary is widely available, we have
excluded archaic and obsolete words which are not found in well-known sayings or proverbs, in satire, or
in popular historical writing.
This dictionary is made with the language learner in mind. For example:
Ø it contains many synonyms, antonyms, count words, and groupings of related words.
Ø there are explanations of usage, including notes about common confusions and pitfalls for both
native speakers of Burmese in English, and for Burmese language learners
Ø all examples are translated, as are many references and antonyms
Ø definitions are given under non-standard forms (along with a reference to the currently accepted
form), eliminating the need to look up a word in two places
Ø many proverbs, sayings, and expressions have been included, with similar English phrases where
found, or translation and indication of the usual meaning. They are listed under the first main
word, i.e., AKulk\Pmiu; AKulk\Pwå; would be found under lk\Pmiu;
Definitions are given in simple English wherever possible. Easily misunderstood terms are avoided in the
definitions as far as possible, or explained (e.g., 'lover' is not the first definition of K¥s\q¨' Riu; is usually
'honest, upright', not 'simple', rc\;Nx^; is usually 'close' rather than 'intimate'). Words that have become or
remained common among English language learners, but which are not currently used the same way
among native English speakers are pointed out (e.g., 'my native' for 'my hometown'; 'generation' for
'descendents').
The purpose of this bilingual dictionary is not to prescribe correct spelling or preserve original usage, but
to assist communication. If a word is used 'wrongly' (e.g., eBa\då from the English 'boarder', now more
often heard as 'friend, mate'), both original and current definitions will be given. However, when an
English word has been used differently than in English, the original word is shown only in brackets, e.g.,
piuka n variation of rummy [Engl poker]
Many words are duplicated under older spellings, to allow readers of pre-1986 materials ease of use, and
to allow forgetful Myanmar users to find words quickly. Such words contain a reference to the current
spelling (e.g., kutc\ªKutc\, Binp\ªPinp\).
Many words, like ”k^;' n^' ekac\; can be used like English verbs, but can also combine with and modify
other words, as in qs\pc\”k^;' wn\”k^;' qa;”k^; Despite the various forms which can modify nouns,
fundamentally ”k^; is a verb in Burmese – but the functions of a verb are wider in Burmese than in
English, and overlap with English adjectives. Verbs will not be double-listed under both parts of speech.
[The Intro will also include some general explanations about a few common transformations in Bse:
Ø un/aspirated pairs, e.g., PXc\. and pXc\.
Ø creaky tone for possessive, and some other situations
Ø pairs with A - that can be substituted e.g., AsAn, ÚsÚn to lk\slk\n' As^;Anc\; bad
influence (in astrology), to “gioh\s^;“gioh\nc\; bad influence of a planet. Aer;Ara matters, affairs
ss\er;ss\ra military affairs ®pv\er;®pv\ra politics. Every possible combination cannot be
covered, but the more common ones are included in the entries, and the basic form is shown in
its entry
Ø all words beginning with A- alone as the first syllable will be included throughout the dictionary
as though they did not have an initial A- (as well as in the A - section)
Ø repetition Asit\ to Asit\sit\
Ø abbreviations such as e_aM for e_ak\' j for erX>
Regular future revised editions are planned, and the wishes, criticisms, corrections, additions, and suggestions
from users will be incorporated as far as is in our power to do so. Send all to <inkish@mac.com>
