IV. GLOSSOLOGY. 



The Seventh Annual Eeport of the Bureau of Ethnology to tlie Smith- 

 sonian Institution by J. W. Powell, director, bears the imprint of 1891, 

 but was really made ])ublic in 1892. This is in one sense a jubilee 

 volume, the crowning glory of American linguistics, commenced sys- 

 tematically by (lalhitiu and ended by Powell. 



The names of American Indian tribes have been in very great con- 

 fusion, each tribe having many names. This confusion, as for example 

 with the Mohawks, arose by having the spelling in three languages, by 

 having their own real name confounded with terms of reproach gathered 

 from neighboring tribes, by imperfect and contlicting systems of translit 

 eration. But in combining the North American tribes into one system 

 rules were necessary, therefore Maj. Powell laid down the following: 



I. Tbe law of priority relating to tbe iiomeutdature of tlie systematic pbilology ot 

 tbe Nortb American tribes sball not extend to antliors wbose 'works ai'e of date 

 anterior to tbe year 188(5. 



II. Tbe name originally given by tbe founder of a linguistic group to designate it 

 as a family or stock of languages sball be permaueutly retained to tbe exclusion of 

 all otbers. 



III. No family name sball be recognized if composed of more tban one word. 



IV. A familj^ name once establisbed sball not bo canceled in any subsequent divi- 

 sion of tbe grou]>, but sball be retained, in a restricted sense, for one of its constituent 

 ])()rti()ns. 



V. Family names sliiill 1ic distiuguisbcd ;is sucb by tbt; terminations "an"' and 

 "ian." 



VI. \o n;ime sball be accepted for a linguistic i'iimily unless used to tlesignate a 

 tribe or group of tribes as a linguistic stock.
