Abstract: linguistic resource compiled by Rev. Luther H. Gulick, M.D., who was a missionary in Micronesia [3]. The work includes a vocabulary and a grammatical sketch of the Ponape (Pohnpei) dialect, providing both Ponape-English and English-Ponape translations. It aims to assist practical students and philologists by covering important particulars needed for studying the dialect. The author acknowledges the difficulty of translating the Ponape dialect, as some meanings may be elusive or context-dependent.

The vocabulary provides definitions and usages of words and includes grammatical notes, such as the classification of numerals and pronouns. There’s a mention of articles contributed by Gulick to a publication known as “Friend” in Honolulu, between 1854 and 1857.
