496 ENGLTSn- KLAMATH DICTIONARY. 



panying the verb. Full information on the equivalents of certain English 

 nouns and verbs of wide and general signification can be obtained only by 

 looking up its synonyms ; as, for example, 

 assist: to aid, helj), cooperate. 

 had: abject, mischievous, mean, wicked, wretched. 

 bring: to carry, fetch, haul, transport. 



It will be observed that in the Klamath, as well as in many other un- 

 written languages, there are no single equivalents for such abstract English 

 terms as the substantives hojje, hurry, love, time, or for the verbs to cause, let, 

 prompt, but tliere are phrases, locutions, and compound terms by means of 

 which these ideas can be expressed with accuracy. 



Compound English words are noticed only when they correspond to 

 simple Klamath terms. Phrases and sentences when wanting in this part of 

 the Dictionary will be found in the Klamath-English part. As to orthogra- 

 phy, accentuation, and pronunciation, the Klamath words are written pre- 

 cisely as in Part First, save in a very few instances where circumstances 

 seemed to make a change desirable. Where differences occur between the 

 two dialects, the Modoc term stands after that of the northern, or Klamath 

 Lake dialect. 



Names of localities are usually identical in both English and Klamath; 

 therefore a few only — the more important ones — will be found in Part Sec- 

 ond. The meaning of many of the Klamath topographic names is involved 

 in obscurity. Of personal names, only tliose of well-known Indians are 

 recorded as such ; others are inserted according to their ordinary significa- 

 tion, as, for instance, the name Hl(^kosh will be found under lap, v. t. 



The Klamath terms having the initial y-, which is interchangeable with 

 i-, iy-, are for convenience of reference inserted in Pai-t First immediately 

 after those beginning in i-. In this part, however, the Englisli y, as well as 

 tch, occupies its usual j)lace in the alphabet. 



Although many additions have suggested themselves, the author 

 deemed it preferable to restrict himself to the terms given in the Klamath- 

 English part. The majority of verbs, however, can form derivatives of an 

 inchoative meaning m-i(tmi)ln,ov -icf/a, -tga, or completives in -6la, -ula, and 

 other forms, which students of this language will readily understand when
