Winnebago info

[Jim G GoodTracks]

I'm not seeing a problem.  Not all discussions on the list are of
interest to everyone, not everyone has a linguistic degree.  Presently, I
need convert the Zep's files into a format for transferr.  When I am
ready to send the attachments to David K., I will also send a copy to
you.
Meanwhile, I am unsure of your final statement on "get a hold of your
Chiwere lexical materials".  Perhaps, you can clearify.

Mr. GoodTracks:

I feel a little guilty as if I had been inadvertantly evesdropping on
your correspondece with Mr. Kaufman,  but I must admit that I am very
grateful to have successfully recieved a copy of  these Winnebago
materials as well.  I had been tempted to inquire as to the possibility
of obtaining this favor too but  was deterred by my amature status in
linguistics and merely periferral interest in Siouan from presuming so
much consideration.  I sure wish it was as easy, even if not as
inexpensive, to get a hold of your Chiwere lexical materials.

Something of a fan,

David:
Let's give a try here.  I do note that the actual syllabary characters
did not come through so you will have to go to R.Dieterlie site at

Dave, Happy New Year:
Received your message below, so let's do a trial run to see how it
processes.  That way, there will not be needless lost effort and time
spent.  Also, be aware, that files can and do change when received by
another PC, when the receiving PC fonts do not match up with the sender,
thus the use of WEB Siouan orthography.  So let me know the results.

I'm not sure how much is involved in individual file transfers--I only
have a dial-up connection to the Net so not sure if I have good enough
capability for receiving them.  Let me know--please don't go to a lot of
trouble.  Can it be transferred as an attachment via Microsoft Word?  Or
email??  I'm a little lost going beyond the bare-minimum basics for
sending--receiving files via computer!  Thanks.

Happy New Year!
Dave

David Kaufman:
V.Zeps sent me a diskette of his most recent edition (below), shortly
before his final departure from the U.S.  I will see if I can transferr
the individual files to you, if you wish, this weekend, when I have more
time.  I also have Fr. Foster's lexicon.
Meanwhile, you may wish to take a look at:

x'x'xglottalized x (palatal k)
yyyy as in "young"
zzzz as in "zebra"

Nasal vowels (â, î, ô, û) are pronounced by depressing the tongue and
allowing air to pass out the nasal passages. The letter 'ô', which is not
now phonemic, despite the fact that it can be heard in many words, was
once phonemic in an earlier stage of the language.
Usually every third syllable is accented, although the matter is very
complex.
