Yup’ik Eskimo Dictionary 1

Introduction and bases.
In this dictionary words are alphabetized in the order familiar from English, with the two diacritics(discussed below) and the comma (discussed below) disregarded. Thus, vv, ll, ss, gg, rr, and ng are not considered single letters in alphabetization even though they represent single sounds. Furthermore, a form with a diacritic or comma is listed immediately after a form without a diacritic or comma in the same place. Thus an’uk ‘they went outside’, would come immediately after anuk ‘dog harness’; tan’geq ‘darkness’, would come immediately after tangeq ‘crackling(s)’; and ugasek ‘arctic hare’, is listed as if it were spelled *ugasek.
