Transcriber’s Note:

This text contains a few characters that will only display correctly in 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—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, make sure your browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. Note that the accent sign ´ is generally free-standing.

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

Typographical errors have been marked in the text with mouse-hover popups. Inconsistent spacing in the phrase “earthen( )ware” was left as printed.
