^{page 349 note 1} The abbreviations used in this article are the following: Cerulli = Cerulli, E., ‘Note su alcune popolazioni sidama dell’ Abissinia meridionale’, R.S.O. x (1925), 597–692Google Scholar ; Moreno = Moreno, M.

^{page 349 note 2} Cerulli 6II transcribes these sounds as ḷ ṇ and considers them as glottalized. Moreno 270 mentions a word amá'ane ‘your mother’, of which he says that it is pronounced amaḍne. It is most probably the stop attack t_n.

^{page 350 note 1} Cerulli, , Studi etiopici, ii, p. 240Google Scholar, considers -te of Sidamo and Darasa as demonstrative.

^{page 350 note 2} Cerulli 648 gives the forms -čóā, -aččoā and -akkiččóā. I did not record the last ending.

^{page 351 note 1} Cf. Amharic -am with the same meaning; it is most probably a Cushitic element. Praetorius, , Amharische Sprache 182Google Scholar, considers it as ‘ein interessantes Stück semitischen Altertums’.

^{page 352 note 1} The article is -i also in the Gurage dialects of Wolane, Zway, and Aymallal.

^{page 352 note 2} The information given by Cerulli 648 is incomplete.

^{page 353 note 1} Cerulli 649 affirms that Kambatta has no possessive suffixed pronouns. Moreno 270 gives the suffixed pronouns as follows: Sg. 1st -'i, 2nd -kki, 3rd masc. -si; pl. 1st -nne, 2nd -'ne (also pronounced -ḍne, that is, ^tne of my recordings), 3rd -ssa.

^{page 353 note 2} Moreno 270, in discussing the personal pronoun of the plural gives the forms náō ‘we’, án'o ‘you’, issō ‘they’ with the variants naoti, an'óti, issoóti, considering -ti as feminine article having the function of the article of the plural. It is quite possible, however, that Moreno's final -ti is the same element as the one of identity mentioned above.

^{page 354 note 1} These forms agree mostly with those given by Moreno 272. From mar ‘leave’: sg. 3 masc. marré (= mar'e), fem. marté, 2 com. marténta, 1st com. marrém (= mar'ém); pl. 3rd com. maréi, 2 com. marténta, 1st com. manném. The forms given by Cerulli 650 are different. From ši ‘kill’: sg. 3rd masc. šémō, fem šiténte, 2nd com. šiténte, Ist com. šémō; pl. 3rd com. šémō; 2nd com. šitenánta, 1st com. šinémō. Cerulli's forms might be those which correspond to the ‘long’ inflection of Sidamo (Cerulli, , Studi etiopici, ii, p. 67Google Scholar; Moreno, M. M., Mauale dt Sidamo, p. 45).Google Scholar

^{page 354 note 2} Note that ə serves as disjunction vowel between the geminated s and the following suffixed morphemes t, n.

^{page 354 note 3} For woqär-nem.

^{page 354 note 4} See also Cohen, M., ‘Du verbe Sidama’, B.S.L., xxvii (1927), 169–200.Google Scholar

^{page 355 note 1} Moreno 275 gives the form itim-ba.

^{page 355 note 2} For the negative morpheme Moreno also gives variant -ba (after consonant), -bba, b'a (after vowel).

^{page 355 note 3} Cerulli 651 gives the following forms: sg. 3 masc. š-am-ba, fem. šitámba (šitántibá), 2 com. šitámba (šitántibá), 1 com. šámba; pl. 3 com. šámba;, 2 com. šitenámba, 1 com. šinámba.

^{page 356 note 1} Moreno 271 gives this form as an imperfect and translates it (p. 273) as present-future; see also Cerulli 650. According to the information I gathered its value is that of the future. For the sg. 3 fem. Moreno gives -ta (instead of -ta'i), for the pl. 3 com. -ta, for the 2 pl. -tenanta. Cerulli 650 considers the form with -ano as durative and gives one single form for the present-future. Thus from ši ‘kill’: sg. 3 masc. šámō, fem. šitánti, 2 com. Śitánti, 1 com. šámō; pl. 3 com. šámō, 2 com. šitenánta, 1 com. šinámō.

^{page 357 note 1} Moreno 275 has the forms: sg. it-tôte, pl. it-tinô-če. Cerulli 651: sg. ši-toti, pl. ši-tenoččiye.

^{page 357 note 2} Cerulli 650 gives for ši ‘kill’: sg. ši, pl. šiye. Moreno 271 has the forms: sg. 2 com. it-i, mar-i; 3 com. it-ûn, mar-ûn; pi. 2 com. it-e, marré. The form the 3rd person, however, is that of the jussive. As for the 2 com. it is different from the form recorded by me.

^{page 357 note 3} Moreno 271 has it-u-wá.

^{page 357 note 4} mt assimilated to nt.

^{page 357 note 5} This is the form I recorded; one would expect woqäräm-näyom bä'a.

^{page 357 note 6} For woqäräm-näyom, mn becoming mm.

^{page 358 note 1} In the contact between the final s of the causative morpheme and the initial t of the verbal suffixed ending the result is either s or ss. So, for instance, woqärsis-o'i instead of woqärsis-to'i.
