Spanning some 400 pages, it presents Nika entries with English glosses and usage notes, reflecting extensive field work by the two German missionaries in Mombasa and Rabai. Serving as one of the earliest written records of this coastal language, it supported missionary work and laid groundwork for future linguistic research in East African Bantu dialects.
