LINGUISTIC NOTE 



Seneca words are cited in this work in spellings which are based on 

 the phonetic transcriptions in the field notes and publications of Dr. 

 Fen ton. A description of Seneca phonology can be found in Chafe, 

 1960-61 or 1962. Roughly, Fenton's e, e, o, d, g, dj, s, apostrophe, 

 reverse apostrophe, and raised dot can be related respectively to 

 Chafe's 26, €, 0, t, k, j (or ty), sy, ?, h, and colon. Phonemic spellings 

 of the names of songs and dances are given in brackets in the list on 

 pages 73-74.
