[1] Orthography: ?, Ð, like th in thick, this; s, somewhat retroflex; tŠ, much like English ch; ly, ny, palatalized l, n, like Castilian ll, Ñ (y is never a vowel in the transcription used); v, bilabial; t, retroflex; ', glottal stop; q, a back k; h is rather faint initially, but rough, nearly like Spanish j when medial, final (or initial through slurring of an unaccented initial vowel). Unaccented phonemic a is sounded a or e indifferently. Length is not indicated in this paper. The acute accent on vowels indicates a stressed syllable, which is also raised in pitch.[2] UmÁs- is frequent in ritual names. It may be a form of humar, "child."[3] HamÓk(a) is "three"—because of the three pot rests.[4] HavÍk is "two"—because of the two hornlike ends.[5] AtcÍ is fish, isÁka is bone, but the form mostly obtained was (i)ta?, backbone.[6] In 1904, I saw in a native house upriver from Fort Mohave a bi-pointed parcher or katÉla which had nose and eyes at the ends like those on quail spoons; and another which had along the edge a line of overlapping impressions that might have been made by the square corner of a board or tool. This description suggests 6,f and 6,g, which I secured four years later at Needles.[7] UCMA no. 1/4297. Pl. 6,i.[8] I wish to thank A. H. Schroeder. R. C. Euler, and H. S. Colton for their constructive criticism of this description.[9] Mineral identifications were kindly made by Dr. Adolf Pabst, Department of Geological Sciences, University of California.
