Mountain Maidu Dictionary: Fish-Head Version

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.
