Preface

χ (Greek chi, see below)
ā ē ī ō ū (long vowels)
œ (“oe” ligature)
⅔ (see List of Illustrations)

In the main text, all but χ are rare. Long-vowel marks are used in Figure captions and in the Glossary; œ occurs only in scientific terms.

Parenthetical question marks (?) are in the original.

Orthography is explained early in the article. Modern (ICI) forms should be deducible from Boas’s spellings. These are based on Kleinschmidt, but with q in place of ĸ (kra). Note that long vowels are rarely marked, except in the Glossary and in figure captions. Words are often written with nasalized finals: n for t sometimes, ng for k almost always, irn (only) for iq. Medial q is usually written χ (chi), representing the fricative pronunciation: “Eχaluin” and similar.
