Description
This dictionary of the Mountain Maidu (Native California) language includes more than twice as many entries as the only other Maidu dictionary, William Shipley's 1963 Maidu Texts and Dictionary. Words and place names were gathered from more than 20 sources and compiled into one volume with one orthography. The orthography used is the easy-to-read "fish-head" writing, invented by Maidu Farrell Cunningham. This dictionary consists of a detailed Maidu-English section, providing examples for many of the words, and each word's source is listed. This is followed by an extensive English-Maidu section and five appendices. The appendices include "Building Blocks of Maidu Words," and "Maps," a section of 5 maps of Plumas and Lassen Counties with Maidu place names. This dictionary is compatible with the fish-head version of Mountain Maidu Grammar, by the same author. You may have to search on "fish-head" to find that version on Amazon.
