This page contains data from a variety of languages, the Lord's prayer and the Hail Mary in Amharic and in Oromo, then follows a list of data from a language called "Gamölla" by AdA. The same language is also mentioned in carnet 266, folio 52r (https://transcrire.huma-num.fr/scripto/13/13446/13551), where AdA write: "62. goumös / / / est-ce la même que le Gamölla ?" - which means that AdA considers it possible that Gumuz (https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/gumu1250) and "Gamölla" are the same language. However, "Gamölla" must be a dialect of the language isolate Berta (https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/bert1248), more precisely of the dialect of Beleje Gonfoye (or a variety close to this dialect). The "Bertha-English-Amharic-Arabic dictionary" by Neudorf et al. (2014) is based on the Mayu dialect of Berta, but also contains some few Beleje Gonfoye entries, which show a close resemblance to AdA's data. Neudorf et al.

"Beleje Gonfoye is the dialect of a group of Bertha people who have moved away into the Didessa valley, 250 km east of the other Bertha speakers, more than 100 years ago. Their language has no influence from Arabic at all, only from Oromo or Gumuz, amongst which they live. But compared to the other three dialects, this is probably the best preserved one. There are many differences between Beleje Gonfoye and the other three dialects, both grammatical and lexical. It is difficult, but not impossible, for this dialect and the others to understand each other." | "Beleje Gonfoye is the dialect of a group of Bertha people who have moved away into the Didessa valley, 250 km east of the other Bertha speakers, more than 100 years ago.

Bender also gives relevant information how AdA's label "Gamölla" could be explained. His lexicon contains an entry 'black' (G1: mili, G2: mile) and a subentry 'black person (e.g. in the Mayu variety 'gáa-milí) and notes "from which: 'Gamila' as name of people" (Bender 1989: 276). | Bender also gives relevant information how AdA's label "Gamölla" could be explained.

This page contains data from a variety of languages, the Lord's prayer and the Hail Mary in Amharic and in Oromo, then follows a list of data from a language called "Gamölla" by AdA. The same language is also mentioned in carnet 266, folio 52r (https://transcrire.huma-num.fr/scripto/13/13446/13551), where AdA write: "62. goumös / / / est-ce la même que le Gamölla ?" - which means that AdA considers it possible that Gumuz (https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/gumu1250) and "Gamölla" are the same language. However, "Gamölla" must be a dialect of the language isolate Berta (https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/bert1248), more precisely of the dialect of Beleje Gonfoye (or a variety close to this dialect). The "Bertha-English-Amharic-Arabic dictionary" by Neudorf et al. (2014) is based on the Mayu dialect of Berta, but also contains some few Beleje Gonfoye entries, which show a close resemblance to AdA's data. Neudorf et al. (2014: viii) also state:
"Beleje Gonfoye is the dialect of a group of Bertha people who have moved away into the Didessa valley, 250 km east of the other Bertha speakers, more than 100 years ago. Their language has no influence from Arabic at all, only from Oromo or Gumuz, amongst which they live. But compared to the other three dialects, this is probably the best preserved one. There are many differences between Beleje Gonfoye and the other three dialects, both grammatical and lexical. It is difficult, but not impossible, for this dialect and the others to understand each other."
The geographical proximity to Gumuz might have led AdA to consider that this Berta dialect "Gamölla" and Gumuz are (possibly) the same language.
Another important source to solve the riddle about the "Gamölla" language is the Berta lexicon by Bender 1989. AdA's data also resembles the varieties G1 and G2, spoken at Diddesa bridge 40 km West of Gimbi on the Nekemte-Gimbi road. Bender labels the Diddesa variety "Gebeto".
Bender also gives relevant information how AdA's label "Gamölla" could be explained. His lexicon contains an entry 'black' (G1: mili, G2: mile) and a subentry 'black person (e.g. in the Mayu variety 'gáa-milí) and notes "from which: 'Gamila' as name of people" (Bender 1989: 276).
Note that AdA spells the langue "Gamöla", with a single "l", here: https://transcrire.huma-num.fr/scripto/13/13635/13650/edit (carnet 267, folio 6r)
On this page, the "Gamölla" data is followed by a section with Harouro data. Harouro is a langue amply documented in AdA's carnets (see especially carnet 271). Glottolog: https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/kach1284.
The last language on this page is "Ara", which at first sight seems to refer to the South Omotic language "Aari" (https://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/aari1239), for which the alternative name "Ara" is recorded. However, the language data is clearly *not* South Omotic but must be from an Ometo variety of North Omotic. Looking at the numerals presented by AdA, it is very possibly data from Aari's Ometo neighbour Oyda (to be verified).
