Orthography
ОглавлениеIn the spelling of Eskimo words the author has adhered as closely as possible to Kleinschmidt’s orthography, as he did not deem it proper to introduce a linguistic alphabet after so much has been published in another and almost sufficient one.
Accents and lengths have been marked where it seemed to be desirable. In quotations Eskimo words are spelled according to this system where it is possible to recognize their meaning and derivation. In other cases the original spelling of the authors has been retained. The alphabet used in this paper is as follows:
| Vowels: a | — | a in father. |
| e | — | ey in they. |
| i | — | ee in feel. |
| o | — | o in nose. |
| u | — | oo in pool. |
| au | — | ow in how. |
| ai | — | i in hide. |
| Consonants: q | — | a hard, guttural sound (Kleinschmidt’s ĸ). |
| r | — | the German guttural r. |
| rn | — | a guttural and nasal r. |
| χ | — | the German ch in Buch; Scotch ch in loch. |
| g | — | English g in go. |
| k | — | English k. |
| ng | — | English ng in during. |
| b | — | English b. |
| p | — | English p. |
| v | — | pronounced with the lips only. |
| f | — | pronounced with the lips only. |
| m | — | English m. |
| d | — | English d. |
| t | — | English t. |
| s | — | English s in soul. |
| n | — | English n. |
| (g)dl | — | ḏ of Lepsius’s standard alphabet. |
| (g)dtl | — | ṯ of Lepsius’s standard alphabet. |
| l | — | English l. |
| j | — | German j in jung; English y. |
