Other Notes
This dictionary is not comprehensive by design. It was created to be used by students and teachers of the language and to inspire future dictionary work for the Ho-Chunk language. The authors also note that this resource was typed and formulated quickly without adequate time to proof-read, so there may be errors.
This dictionary is also a scanned version of a physical copy which had handwritten notes throughout, including underlines.
