255.ReferencesIn the list below all the items are entered as glven on the
title page, except for explanatory notes which are placed
between square bracket~. When the name of an author is placed
between square brackets, it represents its version as
transcribed according to the requirement of Somali orthography.
When a bibliographical item is referred to in the text
of the thesis only part of the name of the author which
constitutes the initial word of entry and the year of public-
ation are normally given, °e. g. oBurchkardt 1959, CAYDARUS 1955.
If this is insufficient for instant recognition of the item,
other parts of the name are added, e.g.cABD ALLAH! 1920. Thus
for example an entry like cABD 1920 would impede recognition
since there are two separate entries beginning with this
name. In cases like that the second name in the entry would
be added and we would have cABD ALLAHI 1920.
Note that the names of authors of works in Arabic are
given in their conventional order, without inversion. Somali
names are also not inverted, since surnames are rarely used
in Somali~. The honorific titles, however, are placed after
the names of authors, even when the names are not inverted,
e.g. Jaamac Cumar Ciise, Sh. [= SheekhJ. It should ue noted
that some publishers or library catalogues frequently invert
Somali names and for this reason the reader may have difficulty
in finding the works cited here unless he tries all the
permutations of the orde~ ..
