Considerations

Southern or Northern?

It is unclear whether this dictionary is focused on Southern terminologies or Northern. This dictionary is targeted at speech in Bauko, which is known to partly have both Southern and Northern Kankanaeys. The ultimate deciding factor is his entry for "yes", since it is known that "aw" is Southern while "owen" is Northern. This dictionary lists "aw" and not "owen", and so it is considered Southern Kankanaey.

Lack of part of speech

This dictionary does not list by default each entry's part of speech; only certain entries have them. Extra care is needed to decide what the actual part of speech an entry is.

Verbs

Vanoverbergh lists verbs as their roots. This is in contranst to Wiktionary.

Additionally, he lists verbs as having tenses. This is incorrect as Kankanaey verbs have aspect, not tense.

Affixes

Affixes are not marked with a dash "-". This makes it hard to identify whether an entry is an affix or a regular word.

e versus a

Vanoverbergh sometimes uses "e", wherein modern orthography uses "a". This is most evident in "man-", as he uses "men-".

Sort order of "ng"

This dictionary's sorting of "ng" is inconsistent. Sometimes it is listed after "n" as if it was a separate letter, while sometimes it is listed as if "ng" are two separate "n" and "g" letters.
