Technical Note on Zuni words

The system of transliteration is not explained in the text. It was therefore difficult, often impossible, to distinguish typograpical errors from variant forms or imperfect transcription.

The sound rendered as "thl" would be written today as l (l with crossing line). The backward apostrophe ' probably represents the glottal stop; the simple apostrophe ' may indicate the same sound. The two characters seem to occur in complementary distribution (initial vs. non-initial syllables), but exceptions were too numerous to list. The free-standing accent ´ may be a stress marker. Small raised g could not be identified.

The spelling "Zuñi" with tilde is Spanish; today the word is generally written "Zuni."
