Published in 1981, this is one of the first Haíɫzaqvḷa dictionaries. It begins with roughly a 50 page grammatical introduction that covers phonetics and syntax, and then moves into the lexicon. This is only the first half of the dictionary and covers the sounds A - ɫ. 

Please note that the orthography is outdated, and that Rath, the primary author, use of linguistic terms usually doesn't align with the rest of the linguistic community's understanding of said terms. Critical thinking and observation is required to properly understand what he is trying to relay.
