Type of Dictionary
This is a bilingual, mono-directional wordlist. The main purpose of this dictionary is to compare both orthographic systems which had been used in previous Chickasaw publications.
How are Entries Organised
This wordlist is presented in three columns and is organised alphabetically by English. The first column includes the English headword and part of speech (based on the English translation). The second column includes the Chickasaw equivalent written in both orthographies, while the third column consists of pronunciation information for each entry.
The two Chickasaw orthographies used is this publication are 1) the earlier system used by Jesse and Vinnie May James Humes in A Chickasaw Dictionary, which has the primary goal of writing the words in such a way that anyone could pronounce them, and 2) the newer system used by Pamela Munro and Catherine Willmond in Chickasaw: An Analytical Dictionary.
