Abstract

The dictionary has been compiled with a view to providing an index to the numerous ramifications of the Pathan tribes of the North-West Frontier, in such a form that any obscure sub-division may be easily referred to its proper tribal position; but all detailed particulars of the history and genealogy of the tribes, such as may be found in larger works of references, have been excluded.
