_Errors and Inconsistencies_
Names and words in indigenous languages may be written as separate
syllables (Sû hi´ n[)i] myut), in hyphenated form (Sû-h[)i]-n[)i]-myut),
or as unified words (Sûh[)i]n[)i]myut)--sometimes within the same
paragraph. These forms have not been regularized.
Inconsistent formatting of figure captions, with or without dash, and
inconsistent casing of Index entries, is unchanged.
"They [the Nenenot] assert that their original home was in a country
to the west [of the Ungava peninsula], north of an immense river,
and toward the east lay an enormous body of salt water. The former
was supposed to be the St. Lawrence river and the latter to be
Hudson bay."
This passage is obviously wrong but has been left unchanged rather than
guess at the author's intent.
Variant spellings (in English):
wolverine : wolverene
_spelling changes partway through the article, with almost
no overlap; the Table of Contents generally does not match the
main text_
spirt _used consistently_
carcases (plural) _more common that "carcasses"_
Innuit _always written with double nn_
