[Transcriber's Note:
This is an updated version of an e-text originally produced in November
2006; see end of text for additions and corrections.
The e-text consists of two separately published books:
_Spellings for the Schools in the Chipeway Language_
_Sketch of Grammar of the Chippeway Language_
In the first book (Spellings...), the hyphen - is used to separate
syllables. In the second book (Grammar...) the hyphen seems to
represent the glottal stop.
In the word lists of the first book, the first entry in each column was
sometimes-- but not consistently-- capitalized. This capitalization has
been retained, whether or not the e-text layout replicates the original.
A few punctuation marks in the paradigms and vocabulary lists have been
supplied or regularized. Other errors and anomalies are listed at the
end of the e-text. Bracketed text is in the original unless otherwise
noted.]
