Reels 1-3 are the Omaha/Ponca dictionary slips.  Reel 4
has miscellaneous material, including about 450 Osage
vocabulary slips collected from other investigators.
A lot of them seem to be from a Dr. Murray, who
represents [i] with 'e' and [a] with 'augh'.

Thanks for the advice.  I think I'll skip ahead!
