HI Amadou,
Where did you get the book Junniy Leebuy Wolof by Mànsóor Xumma? I would love to see a copy. You also might be interested in browsing my site at
http://www.wolofresources.org
The site can be found at a number of places across the internet but I have lost access to these so I have created a new domain so I can update the site.
PS I speak Wolof fluently having lived in a Wolof village for 16 years. I have written a book of 750 Wolof proverbs explained in English which I could send to you if you can help me obtain a copy of the book by Xumma.
I think this comment will give you my email address for direct contact.
Blessings.
