Abstract
This document contains a far from exhaustive list of words that Collocott felt had not been adequately covered in previously printed Tongan dictionaries. In addition to the word list, Collocott includes some information on Tongan cloth measurements, methods of counting, words describing phases of the moon, and metaphorical phrases and their meaning.
