PREFACE

This book contains a selection of Ungaziq tales f~om Ekate~inaS. Rubtsova's impo~tant book Mate~ialy ~ Yazyku £ Folklo~u Eskimosc~(Mate~ials in the Language and Folklo~e of the Eskimos~ p~inted inLening~ad in 7954). Rubtsova~ now 84 yea~s old~ was a teache~ atUngaziq from about 7937 to 7947. In 7940 she w~ote these storiesdown as they were told by Ayveghhaq~ an Eskimo man at Ungaziq lJhowas then 26 years old.

The numbe~ of each tale (text) is its numbe~ in Rubtsova's book.The number beginning each pa~ag~aph is the sentence numbe~ in Rubtso-va's book. The small numbe~s above certain wo~ds a~e for footnotes.These footnotes show that a change has been made f~om the o~iginalfo~m in Rubtsova's book~ which had to be changed in o~de~ to be cor-~ect o~ understandable in mode~n St. Law~ence Island Eskimo. Thesefootnotes will be published in the next book in this se~ies. Thatwill contain also copies of the o~iginal texts in Rubtsova's Sibe~ianalphabet~ and a key to reading that alphabet~ and also English t~ans-lations of the texts in this book.

In spite of the changes made~ there will still be words o~ ex-pressions in these sto~ies which a~e st~ange o~ hard to unde~stand~or not known to the young people anymo~e. It is good that the youngpeople should lea~n these old words and exp~essions.

This book also contains a key to reading the new St. LawrenceIsland Eskimo alphabet~ the same one that was p~inted in the fi~stbook of this se~ies~ Sivuqaghhmiit Atightullghit (dist~ibuted atGambell and Savoonga in August 7977). We believe this new alphabetwill be very easy to learn to read. '

We hope you will enjoy reading these sto~ies~ and will you~-selves want to sta~t w~iting St. Lawrence Island sto~ies and histo~ydown~ so that they will be p~eserved fo~ you~ futu~e gene~ations asthese Ungazighmiit sto~ies a~e.

We wish to thank E. S. Rubtsova~ the National Science Founda-tion~ and the Eskimo Language Workshop of the University of Alaskafor making this wo~k possible.

KEY TO READING ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND ESKIMO

It is easy to learn to read St. Lawrence Island Eskimo written inthe new system. By studying carefully the first pages of this booklet~the k~y to the system~ anyone who can already read English can learn toread Eskimo in a few hours (if he knows Eskimo!). Some people havecaught on pretty well even in a few minutes.

Note that the new writing system uses no unfamiliar or new lettersor signs~ absolutely nothing that is not found on the ordinary Americantypewriter keyboard or printed page.

The only letters used in the Eskimo alphabet are

a e f g h i k 1 m n p q r stu v w Y z .

The Eskimo alphabet consists only of these and of certain combinationsof these.

The letter 0 is never used in Eskimo words. The vowel e &s always.short~ but a i u may be either short or long. When long~ a i u arewritten double~ aa ii uu. Each vowel letter in written Eskimo alwayshas the same sound~ and each vowel sound is always written with thesame letter. This is very different from English~ which has severalways of writing each sound. Eskimo is completely regular~ completelyphonetic~ and there are no exceptions. The sounds of the Eskimo vowelsare the following:

a as &n ata father~ panat spears~ ama also~ lalala dew~yuwayu loon

aa as in ataata uncle~ amaa wolf~ naa mother~ aakat oldersisters

e as &n kemek skin~ net homes~ tepet odors~ papek tail~es tek pocket

i as in sikik squirrel~ ipek sharp~ ~v~sa flounder, uw~n~her husband

~~ as in kiik summer~ umiilek chief~ kii wound~ piitunseed

u as &n ulu tongue~ ukut these~ puyumi &n soot~ yuwayuloon, uquq blubber

uu as in yuuk person~ puu handle~ quuk fuel~ atuuta song~uukat cods

1

The 25 Eskimo consonants are the following, presented in a patternwhich will be explained below. Some of the consonants are spelled withmope than one letter, but these groups of letters shown in the patter'?be lou)always stand for a single sound. The following pattern should belearned:

P t k q

w vz r g

gh r 1 n ng ill ywh f s gg ghh rr 11 nn ngng h

Except for the 9 consonants in the box, these sound much like theydo in English, and so do not require learning anything new. The patternis arranged in three rows because the Eskimo consonants are of threekinds. In the top are ,the stop consonants, p t k q, so called becausein pronouncing them the air is completely closed off or stopped in themouth, and then released. The second and third rows are of consonantswhich are pronounced without stopping the air completely, but rather byforcing the air continuously through some narrowing. Th~y are calledcontinuants for this reason. The ones in the middle row, w v z g gh r1 n ng m y, are the voiced continuants, so called because in their pro-nunciation the voice in the voice-box is going. In the bottom row arethe voiceless continuants, pronounced exactly like their voiced versionsin the row above, except that with these the voice is not going. Forinstance, the only important difference between z and s is that zhas the voice buzzing along with it, whereas s does not. S LS a zwithout voice and z is an s with voice. All the other pairs in rowstwo and three have exactly that same difference. The pattern is alsoarranged in columns, especially the section of four columns topped byp t k q, according to the place in the mouth at which the air passageis blocked or narrowed, farthest toward the front of the mouth for thep column, farthest toward the back for the q column. P (also v f)is pronounced at the lips, t (also z s) with the tip of the tongue,k (also g gg) with the middle of the tongue, q (also gh ghh) with theback or root of the tongue. Further details of these and the otherconsonants will be explained in due course below.

Examples of the consonants not in the box, which are pronouncedmuch like they are in English, follow:

p as Ln apa grandfather, panik daughter, apayepayiiq spider

t as Ln ata father, tumet road

k as Ln kiik summer, sikik squirrel, kamek boot

w as Ln wata more, wani bell, aawa its blood, uw~ husband

v as Ln vek grass, savik knife

The rest of the letters or combinations of lettersvalues for Eskimo sounds that do not exist in English.needs to be studied with special care.

s as in siku ice~ iiska my eye~ asitmun downward

h (a rare soundJas &n haam or ahamangam enough~ let's gohome

q is for the stop consonant something like k~ but q ispronounced far back in the mouth~ while k is pronouncedin the middle: qayaq canoe~ qayak two canoes~ qiiqw grayhair (compare kiikw river)~ quyngiq reindeer~ qikmiqdog~ qiipaq thread~ keneq fire~ qanik snowflake~ qengaqnose. (Note: q is:not used in Eskimo as it is in Englishfor the kw sound as:in quick.)

gh is for the voiced continuant pronounced far in the back ofthe mouth~ as also q is~ but with the tongue softly touch-ing the back end of the roof of the mouth~ often making asoft gurgling sound: agha medicine~ qeghaq meat rack~aghnaghaq girl~ aghneghet days~ seghleq bad~ ghevaquq itfades. (Note: this sound has already been spelled withgh in some surnames~ as Aantaghmi Antoghami~ WaaghyiWaghiyi. J

3

g is for the voiced continuant pronounced in the same partof the mouth as k~ the middle~ not as far back in themouth as gh. Like gh~ it is made by loosely touchingthe roof of the mouth~ but for g it is the hard middlepart of the roof~ not the soft back part of the roof asfor gh. Because it is pronounced against the hard partof the roof of the mouth~ g usually does not have thesoft gurgling that often goes with gh: guygu house~gaaq eook , tagi come. (Note: this sound has alreadybeen spelled with g in some surnames as AymergenImergan~ Iirgu Irrigoo~ Galaagerngen Gologergen.J ThisEskimo g is somewhat like English "har-d" g~ but muchmore loosely pronounced. More examples of g: uglaqmany~ pegnem hardly~ estega his pocket~ kaarnge~ pair ofboots~ panigi his daughters~ guuta shooting. W isclosely related to g. W is in fact a g with thelips rounded. After the vowel u~ some people may pre-fer to spell g with a w~ as in yuget or yuwetpeople~ atkuga or atkuwa his parka~ atkugi or atkuwihis parkas. Also~ in a very few words~ g follows n~as in an'gaghaq niece~ which has to be written with anapostrophe to show that it is not like the ng in angakuncle. Another case would be iin'ga his crutch (notlike p~~nga he says to me).

The rest of the consonants in the box are voiceless continuants~the voiceless versions of g gh r 1 n ng, made just like these but withthe voice turned off~ just as z is s with the voice turned off.English has the voiceless continuant sounds wh f s~ and symbols forthem~ and these are also used in Eskimo. But since English does nothave any of these other voiceless continuants~ the ones in the box

Jor

letters for themJ a special way is needed to write them. This is mostsimply done by doubling the letter for the voiced versions~ the familiarEnglish and Eskimo r 1 n ng~ and also the Eskimo g and gh. Ng isdoubled by writing ngng~ but gh is doubled by writing ghh.

gg ~s g without voice~ the air making a smooth rushingsound against the roof of the mouth where it is hard atthe middle. Examples: iigga hand~ gginaq face

Jggata

back~ gguta tooth~ segga slashing~ yuggaq little man.Gg is closely related to who In fact~ wh is gg withrounded lips. After the vowel u~ some people may preferto spell gg with a wh~ as in yuggaq or yuwhaqlittle man~ \atkuggaq or atkuwhaq small parka.

ghh &s gh without voice~ the air making a rough soundagainst the roof of the mouth where it· is soft at theback. Examples: iighhaq cat's-cradle~ ghhuuq ammu-nition~ ghhiitaa pluck it~ taghnughhaghhaq little child~aaghhwaghaquq he's crawling~ iighhwaanguq he's furious~"doing a slow burn, stewing".

4

nn &s n without voice~ the air making asound out through the nose. Examples:piinneq growth of plant~ 1iinnaquq he'snaamnnun to our mother.

simple blowingpennaq cliff~l.earni.nq,

rr is r without voice~ the air making a rushing soundpast the tip of the tongue~ which is curled back some.Examples: aarraghaquq he's dressing up~ atkurraakshabby parka.

11 is 1 without voice~ the air making a rushing soundpast one or both sides of the tongue toward the backteeth. Examples: ta11iq arm~ alIa different~ pe11aghyuklonesomeness~ e11ngi they~ e1ngata11 very much.

ngng is ng without voice~ the air making a blowing soundout through the nose~ but with the mouth blocked offat the middle (rather than at the tip of the tongueas with n). Examples: kaatengnga catch up with me(you guys)~ aaptengnga ask me (you guys)~ tengngaakdeep hollow sound~ aaftengngwaaq complete separation.

Anyone who has mastered the information in this key so far shouldnow easily be able to read St. Lawrence Island Eskimo. He will probablynotice~ however~ that sometimes these double-letter voiceless continuantsounds are written simply g gh r n ng when next to other consonants.The special section called "Undoubl.inq" explains this.

In Eskimo words the English letters b c d j 0 x are not used atall. The sounds of English care written'in Eskimo with k or s.The sound of x is written in Eskimo with ks. So~ for this reasonc ,and x are not used in Eskimo words. Eskimo p sometimes resemblesEnglish b; Eskimo t sometimes resembles English d; and Eskimo u issometimes somewhat like English o. But since p and t and u arealready being used for these sounds~ there is no need ever to use theletters b or d or 0 in Eskimo words. J is not used in Eskimobecause Eskimo has no sound like English j at all.

Punctuation is exactly like in English.

UNDOUBLING OF gg ghh rr 11 nn ngng

The above is probably enough for anyone wishing simply to learn toread Eskimo~ or even to spell it fairly well. But to spell it perfectlyaccording to the new system~ there are certain principles which need tobe explained~ on how words are shortened by undoubling gg ghh rr 11 nnngng. Mastering of this section will lead not only to spelling perfect-ly~ but also to a deeper understanding of the Eskimo sound system.

In Eskimo often two consonants may cluster (come together with no

5

Two double-letter voiceless continuants can also cluster together,of course. One of these, but of course not both, can be undoubled (ifboth were undoubled in a word like gaallghhi his cookinq skill, theword would look almost like gaalghii the one who is cooking). Thequestion, then arises which to undouble. According to the present sys-tem, this is decided by priority.

(7) ngng, because it is the longest, is thewhen ngng clusters with any other double, ngngbe undoub led.

first to be ~ndoubled;is always the one to

vowel in between) and neVer more than two may cluster. Furthermore,the consonants of the second row (the voiced continuants w v z g ghr 1 n ng m y) do not cluster with consonants of the first row or thirdrota, They may cluster only with each other.

Examples of clusters of consonants Ln the second row (voiced con-tinuants only): evluk ocean swells, puugzaq beluga, kuuwgha his bro-ther, pagrugaq pUffin, umiilget chiefs, uglaa go there, ughluvghetarrows, agghiiquq he's planning, iigna that thing there, esnegngaaqit's black-and-blue, ikenghut piece, upenghaq springtime, an'gaghaqniece (not to be read like angak uncle), iin'ga his crutch (not to beread like piinga he says to me), qenwat until at last, peng'waaghputwe're worried about him (not to be read pengwaaghput our mound!),peng'gaa she's worried about him (not to be read pen-ggaa! comparewith iin-ggaq little crutch), saanngam and then what? (not to be readsaann-gam!), kangghut crunchy noise, aangghi say yes, peghngaaq it isfolded.

Examples of clusters of some of the consonants in the first andthird rows (not involving double-letter voiceless continuants):aaptaa he asks him, atkuk parka, iitekqun yet, tafsi belt, aaftaseparation, kestiki count them.

When any of the double-letter voiceless continuants (gg ghh rr 11nn ngng) cluster with any of the non-double consonants (p t k q wh fs), they are undoubled, written just g gh r 1 n ng. This is done in~order to shorten written words and make them easier to read. Where thedouble letter continuants are not next to another consonant, as intalliq arm, if they were undoubled there, the word would rhyme withaliq sleeve. So, there (not next to consonants) undoubling cannot bedone. But next to p t k q wh f s the only kind of continuant thatcan come whould be a voiceless one, so even a single letter would haveto mean a voiceless continuant there. Since undoubling these here can-not possibly lead to confusing any words, such clusters are writtenwith single g gh r 1 n ng in order to shorten the words. Examples:riigta den (not riiggta), petgaaq it bounces, eghqughqi throw each oneaway, aatgha his name, esghaghtuq he opens his eyes (not esghhaghhtuq),alpa murre (not allpa), nekrek hook (not nekrrek), qerta tangled hair,elpek you, elqwaaq kelp, melqu feather, iflamaaq it got lost, aawhlaquqit is bloody, kiiwhlak big river, eslami outdoors, aqniq pain (notaqnniq), nguutnguk wart (not nguutngnguk), qepngwaaq tying securely.

(2) ghh,·because it is the next: longest, iolien it cluster's unt r:any other' double (except ngng), ghh is the one to be undoubled.

(3) rr and nn ar'e next to undouble, because when they cluster'with the r'emaining two, 11 and gg, the voicelessness of the cluster'is usually due to the 11 Or' gg, not to the rr Or' nn (rr and nnar'e together' in this list because so far' no cluster' has been found ofrr and 11 together').

(4) When gg and 11 cluster' together', the gg is undoubled,not the 11 (11 ther'efor'eis never' undoubled in cluster'S with other'doubles, but only in cluster'S with singles).

Examples of cluster'ed doubles with one undoubled:(7) with ngng undoubled: eghhnga day has come, iteghhngaaq it's

fitted completely in, aaghhngwa he's in the cr'awling stage, ~ggngikanother' tr'Y, ellngi they, allnguq dive.

(2) with ghh undoubled: meteghlluk Cr'Ow, uullghaghllakun shallI push it over'!, ikighrragkiiq opening quickly, iteghnnaken make it en-ter', aaghwllanga shall I cr'awl?, aaghwnna it's capsized, aaghwrragkiiqcr'awling quickly, niillghwaaq soda cr'acker'.

(3) with rr and nn undoubled: iiggragkiiq digging by pQ1Jingfast, qapreggragkiiq moving an object fast, effnaken thr'ow it away,aallneq ember'S.

(4) with gg (not 11) undoubled: eglluk stove, egllakun shall Ithr'ow it away:, iigl1akun shall I dig it?, yuugllak big man, allgisweep, al1gutat br'oom, pillgilnguq nit-wit, ignor'ant per'son.

A note on the nasals: The consonants m n nn ng and ngng ar'ecalled nasal continuants because they ar'e pr'onounced thr'ough the nose.What was said above, that consonants of the second (voiced) r'ow never'cluster' with consonants of the other' two r'ows, was not quite tr'ue ofthe nasals. When a nasal is the fir'st consonant of a cluster' it isalways voiced, eVen befor'e stops and voiceless continuants, as inqaanqa my mouth, tempa r'amming, iinggaq little cr'utch (not to be r'eadlike peng'gaa she's wOr'r'iedabout him), tungtu car'ibou, kaangquq knotin wood, unangsaq getting lots of seals. ~ is often devoiced likethe other' nasals, but unlike the other' nasals, voiceless m has beenfound only after' other' consonants, wher'e it is necessar'ily voiceless,as in qikmiq dog. Ther'e is ther'efor'eno need ever' to double m, unlesssome wOr'd with voiceless m between vowels can be found.
