Notes:  Dahl Otto Chr. (1968) Contes Malgaches en Dialecte Sakalava: Textes, Traduction, Grammaire et Lexique 
Problems:  The list is full of gaps + a few misinterpretations.
Dahl (1968) only provides a glossary of 17 pages.
A more appropriate source is the online "Dictionnaire des dialectes sud-ouest du malgache" started by V.D. Mahavere (1925-1926) but vastly expanded by Noël Gueunier. I used it to compensate and check (SA)
