    I have a copy of the November 1965 issue of Tarzan of the Apes comics
(no. 154) which features what it calls a "complete Ape-English dictionary".
It's one page of ape words with English definitions.  I estimate there's
about 250 words there.  I checked against your dictionary through the letter
G and everything in the comic is in yours, but yours has some words not in
the comic.
