VALUE OF LETTERS IN THE LIST OF PLACES AND IN THE NAMES OF PERSONS
THROUGHOUT THE VOLUME
A long = a in hate
A short = o " not
Ai = i " bite
Au = ow " now
E long = ai " bait
E short = e " bet
I long = ee " beet
I short = i " bit
O long = o " note
O short = o " not
U long = oo " boot
U short = u " bull
J = our J
H = German ch
All other consonants have the same value as ours.
All short vowels are marked with ̆; the long are unmarked.
When the Indian meaning of names is known, I have given it before the
present name of the place given by white men. When the name given by
white men stands alone, it indicates that the Indian meaning is
uncertain or unknown.
Names accented on the penult have no accents printed on them; all
others have printed accents.
