include cultivation, thatching roofs, building a road, and weaving a large
bamboo mat to cover a bridge walkway. | | | | Repository: | University of Arizona Libraries, Special Collections | | | | Subjects: | Plant ecology -- Africa | Plant ecology -- United States | Vegetation surveys -- South America | Vegetation surveys -- Colorado | Vegetation surveys -- Africa | Swahili language -- Dictionaries -- English | English language -- Dictionaries -- Swahili | Agriculture -- Africa | Soils -- Africa | Agriculture -- United States | Soils -- United States | Africa -- Description and travel | | | | Matches:
