Abstract
Dialects of North Borneo Murut are spoken in an area which extends roughly between 116° and 118° with the frontier of Indonesian Borneo to the South, and a line running from Keningau (approx. 5° 20′) via Upper Kinabatangan and Upper Kwamut to Cowie Harbour. Rutter, who provides a clear sketch-map of this region (164), divides the population into seven groups of Hill Murut and two groups of “Muruts of the plains”, with the Kuijau as a link between the Murut and the Dusun, to be discussed below. In his comparative vocabulary he gives words of Keningau, Peluan, Rundum, Tengara and Kuijau.
