wordgumbo - Eskimo-English Dictionary

• (1) This dictionary covers words used by Canadian Eskimos. A certain number of words used only by local bands of Eskimos have been added on account of their particular interest and usefulness.
• (2) As there is no infinitive mode in Eskimo, all the verbs are given in the indicative mode, in the third person singular. As a rule when the subject of a verb is a personal pronoun, it is not expressed but included in the verb. For instance: pissukto

• (4) PRONOUNCIATION. Eskimo pronounciation does not present as much difficulty as some of the other Amerindian languages. The different letters are prounounced mostly as in Latin. Here are a few letters or sounds that present certain difficulty:

• DLERK - at the end of a word is pronounced likie TSLERK. It is in fact the only really difficult pronounciation, along perhaps with the KR.
• (5) The use of SYLLABIC in Eskimo. - It is well over 120 years since the syllabic system of writing was introduced in the Amerindian languages of Western Canada. Syllabic writing, however, was unknown to the Eskimos as late as 1885, when it was a
• The syllabic system is a very simple way of writing syllables (not letters) with signs. Although it is very practical in many ways, it is not a precise manner of writing. Indeed, it is often ambiguous. For instance, one sign may mean, karnerk, hu
