Hotcâk Text -- Resurrection of the Chief's Daughter

Hotcâk Text -- Resurrection of the Chief's Daughter

interlinear translation by Oliver LaMère

The text is written, apparently, with a thick pencil. It has a sloppy and crowded appearance, but the letters of the text are almost always clear and unambiguous, if rather inelegantly formed.

The header reads, "XXXVI Informant Char N. Houghton," just below which is written an underlined title, "How an Orphan Conquered Death." The title seems to have been squeezed into its place and written with a different writing implement. At the far upper right of the first page is written the numeral "52" which indicates the total number of pages in the text. At the very top of the page is scribbled at an angle with a different writing implement, "To Blings for linguistic notes," below which is written the date, "27/2 '45." The expression "Blings" refers to the Bollingen Foundation.

The corrected text, which is found on the second line of each table, differs from the version of the Bollingen Foundation. Radin's published text is analytical and does not really reflect the rules governing the spoken language. It would be rather like removing sandhi from Sanskrit. Consequently, in a number of cases, I had to defer to the manuscript text for the more usual forms of expression. In such cases I also followed the accents presented there.

Sentences in both the MS and the Bollingen edition are numbered, although in the present text that is not followed since I have analyzed the beginning and ending of sentences somewhat differently. In the MS paragraph numbers were inserted (but omitted in this text).

The transliteration conventions in the MS predate those finally settled on by Radin, which marks this as a relatively early text. Most conspicuously, /o/ is often used in place of /a/, and hijâ, "one," is written as hijô; the older convention of using /sh/ instead of the later /c/ is seen in -cguni, which is here written as shguni; also /ê/ occurs frequently, even though it is neither a phoneme nor an allophone in Hotcâk.

Anything within brackets, [ ], has been supplied by the editor (Richard Dieterle), unless otherwise indicated.

*the MS translation has "(she?)".
**the final /g/ overprints a /k/.
***the first /je/ overprints something that can no longer be read.
****the translation has "to tease me she wished." The suffix -jeji means "to yearn intensely"; however -jeji/-ceji is also the optative. The Hotcâk does not express "me". Hirajitc means "to practice the joking relationship."

"Higû´	hit'éra	hijâ´	hîgánuga**	hinúk'ána,"

*"now" is crossed out and "then" written above it. However, the standard "just" seems to be a more appropriate translation.
**the single expression "hit'érajî´gánuga" is replaced in very small superscriptions by the more articulated, "hit'éra hijâ´ hîgánuga".
***higánâga (< hige-anâga) means, "he says to him, and"; hîgánâga (< hî-hige-anâga) means "he says to me, and".

**an initial /ru/ is written in smaller letters just to the left and above the /k/ in kónunísgek'djérashge.
***"indirectly" is inserted above the Hotcâk line in parentheses. An earlier parenthetical qualification after the word "court" has been crossed out.
