APPENDIX TO LINGUISTICS. 



MOHAVE— Vocabulary No. 23. 



Mr. E. M. Richardson^ who obtained his word-lists among the "Mojaves ?? on Sept. 

 14 and 15, 1871, gives the following directions for their correct reading: 



"The scanning marks ( " macron, w breve) show length and brevity of the syllable- 

 Letters in parenthesis are pronounced with a half sound only. The circuinflexed a (a) 

 is pronounced very broadly; e with the acute (e') represents the French e."
