Other Notes
The Alaska Native Language Archive has two separate posts for the 1911 and 1972 editions, and each includes the digital book (PDF scan). However, the 1911 edition is 105 pages shorter than the 1972 edition, so it is clear that the later edition contains additional content. In the 1911 edition, the entries start on page 42 of the PDF, while on the 1972 edition they start on page 83.
