Abstract / Summary
"A comprehensive vocabulary treasury and glossary compilation of old and rare Mising words, designed to enrich the vocabulary of modern speakers."
Taid, T. R. (2010). Mising Gompir Kumsung. Gogamukh: Tabu Ram Taid.A treasury of Mising words
Literally translating to A Treasury of Mising Words, this 2010 volume documents archaic and specialised terms used in Mising ritual chants (Mibu songs), agricultural practices, folklore, and poetry. It serves as a semantic preservation tool for the Mising Agom Kebang and for community members working to keep the language vital.
Where the 1995 dictionary established the core lexicon, Gompir Kumsung captures the rarer registers — the inherited vocabulary that was slipping out of everyday use as older speakers passed on. By recording these words with contextual notes, the book safeguards a layer of cultural memory embedded in language.
