How are Entries Organised
This dictionary is organised into two parts: the Interlinear Translation and the English Index. The Interlinear Translation is a series of texts provided by Della Prince in Wiyot. The Wiyot text is written out with each sentence numbered. In a footnote, the sentences are translated into English as a numbered list. At the end of this section is a few pages of notes about the grammar, word usage, and how the stories were elicited under the header Notes.
The English Index is organised alphabetically by English headword. It begins with grammatical terms and codes, each with the Wiyot words listed below and the English gloss. Following the grammatical terms are the headwords. Each entry contains the English headword, the Wiyot words that correspond to it, their English glosses, and their part of speech.
