Tebul Ure is a language of the Dogon language family in east central Mali. It is spoken in a few villages on the heights overlooking the towns of Bamba and Yanda on the eastern cliffs of the Dogon plateau. The lexicon was compiled as part of a broader three-part grammar-texts-lexicon study of this language. Columns from left to right (omitting blanks) are: Tebul Ure (transcription) finder (English finder list, i.e. usually one-word glosses) recherche (finder list in French), English (full English gloss), français (full French gloss), domain (for types of plant or fauna, e.g. snake), species (genus-species binomials), order/family (for flora-fauna terms); and synonymy (alternative or former species binomials)
