Excerpt from Vocabulary of the Tigré Language
After having left Neisse M. V. Beurmann did not abandon the idea of collecting a vocabulary of the Tigré language and so he daily wrote down those words which he had heard from Abu Bekr, and as he was obliged to speak with him only Arabic he followed Humbert's Guide francais-arabe, asking always the Arabic word of Humbert and writing down the Tigré translation. Though he wished to obtain all those words in Tigré which that Arabic vocabulary contains nevertheless the preparation for his second expedition which alas! Had so deplorable an end required so much time that even he with all his extraordinary energy and zeal was not able to finish this work. So when he had started again on the day after Christmas 1861 in search of Vogel's te mains with the firm intention either to cross the whole African continent from Benghazi to Chartum and Massowa, or never more to return, the materials he had collected were sent to me to be published.
