  CONTENTS. Page. Introduction 409 Authorities quoted 410 This text uses characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding, including: χ (Greek chi, see below) In the main text, all but χ are rare. Long-vowel marks are used in Figure captions and in the Glossary; oe occurs only in scientific terms. If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if a diacritic does not appear directly above its letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. 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. Missing punctuation in Figure captions and the Glossary has been silently supplied. Other typographical errors are shown with mouse-hover popups. The music section (pages 648-658) includes sound files in midi format. Depending on your browser, they will either play as-is or will need to be downloaded to your computer. Some browsers will offer two “Music” links; use the one that works best for you. |
