BUREAU OF INDIAN AFFAIRS PREFACE This Navaj-English dictionary is presented with the hope that the vocabulary may be of aid to Navajos who are learning English CIS well as to non-Navajos who are interested in acquiring some knowltn je of the Navajo language. The authors have listed Navajo vocabulary and have attempted to provide definitions in simple, easily understood English. Grateful acknowledgment is made to all the people who contributed their knowledge and time to the development of this dictio~~ry The Sound System of Navajo VOWELS. aa (long, low) The vowels have continental values. They are as 66 (long, high) 6a (falling) a6 (rising) follows, the first example being a Navajo word, the Q (long, low, nasal) second the closest approximation to that sound in QQ (long, high, nasal) QQ (falling) & (rising) English. Example: e (short, low) as e in met. a gad (juniper) father 6 (short, high) . e 'e'e'aah (west) met e (short, low, nasal) i sis (belt) sit 6 (short, high, nasal) o hosh (cactus) note ee (long, low) Vowels may be either long or short in duration, 66 (long, high) Be (falling) e6 (rising) the long &r&ian vwel being indicated by a doubling ee (long, low, nasal) of the letter. This never affects the quality of the 6 (long, high, nasal) ge (falling) ee (rising) vawel, except that the long duration i is always pro- . i (short, low) as i in sit. nounced as in the English word see. Examples: i (short, high) . sis (belt) the vowel is short. i (short, low, nasal) siziir (my belt) the second vowel Sound is of long i (short, high, nasal) duration. ii (long, low) as ee of English word see. Vowels with a haok (Q) beneath the letters are ii (long, high) ii (falling) if (rising) nasalized, This means that meof the breath passes ii.

  • A Concept of Clean Toilet from the Islamic Perspective
    A CONCEPT OF CLEAN TOILET FROM THE ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE Asiah Abdul Rahim Department ofArchitecture Kulliyyah afArchitecture and Environmental Design INTERNATIONAL ISLAMIC UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA Abstract Islam is the official religion of Malaysia and more than half of the population is Muslim. As Muslims, the aspect of cleanliness is one of the most important and basic things that should be followed and practised in everyday life. Allah loves those cleanse themselves as quoted in the holy Qur'an. .. God loves those who turn to Him, and He loves those who cleanse themselves ". (Surah Al-Baqarah: 222) There is a growing awareness of public toilets among the public and authorities which can be seen in the events such as the "A Clean Toilet Campaign Seminar" held at national level end of July 2003 in lohor Bahru, Johor. Criticisms by visitors and locals stirred the level of consciousness among those responsible directly or indirectly for clean and effective public facilities.Nowadays, toilet is no longer perceived as merely a small and insignificant part of a building. It contributes and serves more than the initial purposes intended. Due to socio-economic changes, a toilet has been diversified and become multi-functions. It has surpassed its traditional role as a place to empty bowels or urinates to serve as comfortable vicinity with conveniences. In developed countries such as Japan and Korea, a public toilet has become a communal area where people could do face washing, showering, freshen up or taking care of their kids and so on. In designing a public toilet, some elements should be highlighted particularly on the understanding of users needs.

Calzada Antonio Narro 1923, Buenavista, Saltillo, 25315. Coahuila, México. * Corresponding author: E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Zea mays L., purple corn,anthocyanins, native corn, and San Juan Ixtenco, Tlaxcala. Abstract Purple corn has acquired great interest by its high content of anthocyanins and bioactive properties. Among this type of corn the Andean purple corn has been the most studied, however, in Mexico, we have the “maíces mora- dos”, which is recognized by its dark purple color. Since there is no record about its content of anthocyanins, in this study we quantified the total anthocyanins (TA) accumulated in the pericarp, aleurone layer, kernel, and corn- cob of 52 corn populations with different grades of pigmentation. Results showed that TA was superior in purple corn than in blue and red corn. TA ranged from 0.0044 to 0.0523 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of biomass in the aleurone layer; in the pericarp from 0.2529 to 2.6452 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of pericarp; in the kernel from 0.0398 to 0.2398 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of kernel and in the corncob from 0.1004 to 1.1022 g of TA ∙ 100 g-1 of corncob.

  • A Structural Analysis of Mide Chants
    A Structural Analysis of Mide Chants GEORGE FULFORD McMaster University Introduction In this paper I shall investigate the relationship between words and im­ agery in seven song scrolls used by members of an Ojibwa religious society known as the Midewiwin. These texts were collected in the late 1880s by W.J. Hoffman for the Bureau of American Ethnology and subsequently published in their seventh Annual Report (Hoffman 1891).1 All the pictographs which I shall discuss were inscribed on birch bark and used by members of the Midewiwin to record chants used in their ceremonies. According to Hoffman (1891:192) these chants consisted of only a few words or short phrases. They were sung by single individuals — never in chorus — and were repeated over and over again, usually to the accompaniment of a wooden kettle drum. In a previous study (Fulford 1989) I analyzed patterns of structural variation among these pictographs and outlined how three complex symbols — the otter, bear and bird — evolved from clan emblems into pictographic markers. The focus of my earlier study was purely iconographic; in this paper I shall explore the verbal structure of Midewiwin chants in order to show some of the ways in which they were pictographically encoded. For the sake of convenience, I have limited my discussion to song scrolls sharing the otter symbol. Six of the seven scrolls that I shall examine contain this marking device. Although one (designated Scroll C in the appendix) lacks an otter, it displays many other formal similarities with Hoffman published transcriptions and translations of 23 songs performed at the White Earth Reservation in northwestern Minnesota.

  • A Review of the Malaysia's Heritage Delicacy Alongside with The
    Ismail et al. Journal of Ethnic Foods (2021) 8:19 Journal of Ethnic Foods https://doi.org/10.1186/s42779-021-00095-3 REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access The Malay’s traditional sweet, dodol:a review of the Malaysia’s heritage delicacy alongside with the rendition of neighbouring countries Norsyahidah Ismail1, Muhammad Shahrim Ab. Karim1* , Farah Adibah Che Ishak1, Mohd Mursyid Arsyad2, Supatra Karnjamapratum3 and Jiraporn Sirison3 Abstract The Malaysia’s cultural heritage is authentic, unique and colourful with various local cuisines of different races and cultures. It is mainly originated from the Malay culture being the largest ethnic group in the country. The Malays themselves have contributed to many local cuisines ranging from appetiser, soup, main course and dessert. However, some Malay heritage foods have almost been forgotten and jeopardized in quality. This is especially happening to the Malay sweets or desserts which have gradually become less appealing to the younger generations. They are not even familiar with Malay foods, let alone consuming them. Among the popular Malay heritage foods in Malaysia are lemang, ketupat, rendang, wajik and dodol. Dodol specifically has been listed as one of the endangered heritage foods in Malaysia. Preserving the Malay cuisines is part of sustaining the Malay culture and this should begin with a great amount of knowledge and understanding about any elements within the culture itself. This article highlights a nostalgic and evergreen Malay’s traditional sweet, known by the locals as dodol by discussing its history, different types and names of dodol, as well as the recipes, preparation, cooking methods and packaging.
