Export scripts and Technical assistance: Delasie Torokornoo.

The Moose and Swampy Cree to English dictionary, by C. Douglas Ellis, includes the glossaries of the three Spoken Cree volumes and the Cree Legends and Narratives from the West Coast of James Bay. Unless otherwise stated, the forms are given in Moose Cree.

This Flora and Fauna Glossary (2017) offers additional features such as full word entries (as opposed to only stems), pointed syllabics corresponding to the roman orthography and a thematic classification inspired by the Thematic Dictionaries of Eastern James Bay Cree by Visitor, Junker and Neacappo (2013).

Funded by Omushkego Education —Mushkegowuk Cree Council and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council grant # 435-2014-1199.

Ex: –skiwan –ᔅᑭᐗᓐ

NDI u bill (of a bird) cf. miskiwan–; (46:2); oskiwan--, --câš, –kot Spoken Cree [28]/Cree Legends and Narratives

… ellipsis at the beginning … before an entry indicates a medial (if followed by …) or a final (if followed by nothing).

Ex: …amêkw …ᐊᒣᒄ

F u fish of a particular species; 54; cf. atihkamêkw, namêkos, wâpamêkw Cree Legends and Narratives

… ellipsis at the end … after an entry indicates a medial.

Ex: …pak… …ᐸᒃ…

Dialect(s) Please note that, unless otherwise indicated, the majority of entries in this glossary are in the Moose Cree or L-dialect. For the Swampy Cree (N-dialect) alternatives replace any and all L’s in the entry with N’s.

Moose and Swampy Cree use slightly different syllabics. Moose Cree uses Eastern finals while Swampy Cree uses Western finals. Since the entries are given in Moose Cree, Moose Cree finals are used, with a few exceptions of Swampy Cree words, for which Western finals are used. Refer to the respective syllabic charts. To create the syllabics for Swampy Cree words, replace the finals according to the charts.

Syllabic Charts

You will find here two syllabics charts. One for Swampy Cree (N-dialect), and another one for Moose Cree (L-dialect). Links to talking syllabic charts are provided below each chart.

In Moose Cree syllabic writing there is sometimes an old spelling of final or little ᔾ(y) which is a circle above the preceding syllable. There is also an (sk) final ᔉ. We do not use these here.

Note: If you choose to not indicate vowel length, then you will write without a dot on top of the character. For example, pi and pî will both be written pi ᐱ. Some roman orthographies use sh instead of š.
