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."
