Annotated Stem List
This version of the stem list contains notes and comments based on the analysis of Ivy Doak. To access the list in a dictionary form, use the 'browse' or 'search' features above. Each entry begins with the stem identified by Reichard. The root identified by Doak is then presented, followed by a transliteration of the stem into the Salish and Nicodemus spelling systems. Notes are in the rightmost column. The stems are presented in several groups - first the 'verbs', then 'adverbs, interjections, and conjunctions', and finally the 'nouns'. Note that this list is currently under construction. Where we are missing information about a particular transcriptions of the Coeur d'Alene stem, you will find " -- "; forms for which we have no English translation are noted.
