Postmodern lexicography

We use single letters to designate the different dialects in the
Oroko dictionary. Mbonge is "m." Batanga is "t." Balue is "l."
Bakundu is "u."

Occasionally in the process of dictionary entry (sometimes more
like 'often'), we have to tag a word because we aren't sure if
it's valid in a certain dialect or not.

Therefore, there are several words in our dictionary tagged,
"valid for u?"
