In 1959 my wife, Ena, and I were stationed at Kasenga, a Methodist mission station in the heart of Ha country in what is now southwest Zambia. In a corner of the mission office I found a filing cabinet stuffed with cards and papers. It proved to be a collection of about 12,000 items on Ha vocabulary and usage dating back to the arrival of Edwin Smith (1876-1957) as a Primitive Methodist missionary in 1902 and continued by his successors. When we returned to England in 1966,1 brought the material with me. For the next thirty years the Ila material remained in two battered suitcases in our attic. Once or twice I made attempts to sort through it, but the task was too much for me until I retired in 1994. I now had leisure for the job and a laptop to work with; even so, it took three months to put the entries into alphabetical order and start work on translation, and it took another six years before the Dictionary of ha Usage was published.
