Transcription and translation notes

The English meaning comes from the Peace Corps workbook. The French gloss is an editorial translation. Printed spellings and tones are retained; font-encoding repairs are disclosed separately. Project expert review is pending.

The workbook’s legacy font encoding has been converted to visually matching Latin Kabɩyɛ letters, with printed tones retained. The original extracted text is preserved. This is not a modernization of the source orthography.
