The name meaning 'black fox' is referred to in different stories as
Yípokus and Yípokos, while a plant with red flowers is referred to as
both yosoü and yósoü. These are preserved as printed, as they may
indicate linguistic variations between story sources.
In the story 'Norwanchakus and Keriha', on page 212 Keriha mentions
going beyond the sky in the southwest, then goes beyond the sky in the
southeast. This inconsistency is preserved as printed.
In the story 'Olelbis', one character is named as both Tilichi and
Tilitchi. Although there are more instances of Tilitchi, reference to
a Wintu dictionary suggests that Tilichi is probably closer to the
correct spelling. However, it is preserved as printed in each case.
There were some other inconsistencies in the spelling of proper nouns.
For ease of searching, where there was a strong prevalence of one form
over another the transcriber has made them consistent, as follows:
