Transcriber’s Note:

This text contains a few characters that will only display correctlyin utf-8 (unicode) encoding:

ā — a with macron (“long” mark)
ă ĭ ŏ — vowel with breve (“short” mark)
‘ ’ — “forward” and “backward” apostrophes

If any of these characters do not display properly—inparticular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above theletter—or if the quotation marks in this paragraph appear asgarbage, make sure your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding”is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the defaultfont. Note that the accent sign ´ is generally free-standing.

Words in which the less common letters appear will have mouse-hover transliterations. Moredetailed notes on Zuni transcriptions are atthe end of the text, after the Index.

Typographical errors have been marked in the text with mouse-hover popups. Inconsistentspacing in the phrase “earthen( )ware” was left asprinted.
