BIBLIOGRAPHY Notes Most diacritic letters (ˇc,ı, ö, s, etc.) are alphabetized as separate letters after ˙ the base letter. The abbreviation “ms. NAN KR” stands for “manuscript in the Archives of the National Center for Manasology and Artistic Culture of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic,” followed by the archival shelf number. In the Commentary and footnotes, the form of some of the bibliographic citations of mid-nineteenth century Kirghiz epics (recorded by Radlof from anonymous bards, published under separate headings in his Obraztsy/ Proben [1885], and re-edited by Hatto in The Manas of Wilhelm Radlof [1990]) is nearly identical to the citations of analytical articles on the texts that Hatto published in various journals. These are the references to the Radlovian epic texts, which were coincidentally published by Hatto in his re-edition: “Almambet, Er Kökˇcöand Ak-Erkeˇc”;“Birth of Manas”; “Birth of Semetey”; “Bok-Murun”; “Köz-Kaman”; and “Semetey.” Hatto’s articles are cited as: Hatto, “Almambet, Er Kökˇcöand Ak Erkeˇc”;Hatto, “Birth of Manas”; Hatto, “Köz-Kaman”; Hatto, “Semetey.” Listed below by language are references to the main bibliographic entries of the dictionaries, grammars, and other aids used, sometimes without citation, in the preparation of this edition: Arabic Baranov, Arabsko–russkii slovar’ Steingass, A Learner’s Arabic–English Dictionary Baˇskir Akhmerov, Bashkirsko–russkii slovar’ Chaghatay Budagov, Sravnitel’nyi slovar’ turetsko–tatarskikh narechii Shcherbak, Grammatika starouzbekskogo iazyka Radlov, Opyt/Versuch Eastern Turki Jarring, An Eastern Turki–English Dialect Dictionary (Uyghur) Nadzhip, Uigursko–russkii slovar’ Kalmyk Ramstedt, Kalmückisches Wörterbuch Kirghiz Batmanov, Sovremennyi kirgizskii iazyk Hu and Imart, A Kirghiz Reader Imart, Le kirghiz Iudakhin, Kirgizsko–russkii slovar’ ———, Russko–kirgizskii slovar’ 374 bibliography Kirghiz (cont.)
