Errors and Inconsistencies
Missing. in figure captions has been silently supplied. Spelling in citations, including all French sources, is unchanged unless otherwise noted.
Unexpected Forms
A few words have ä (a with umlaut) where â or ā (long a) was expected:
nä´nu (polar bear: both occurrences of the word)
wooden partitions called sä´potĭn
Nägawau´ra, now deceased
deadfalls or steel traps (nänori´a)
dancing caps (kă´brû, käluka´)
The spelling “slungshot” is used consistently.
Inconsistencies
The spellings “Inuit” and “Innuit” (including “an Innuit” in one quoted passage) both occur.
The word “Arctic” is generally capitalized, but exceptions were too frequent to regularize.
Names of ships such as Vega are rarely italicized, and scientific names never. All are shown as printed.
Hyphenization
Forms were only changed when there was a clear pattern. This list is not meant to be comprehensive:
northeast, northwest; southeast, southwest never hyphenated ridgepole; tiestring, bowstring, drawstring woodenware, smoothbore, midleg, handboard pipestem, sealthong, centerbit
whale-fish, whale-skin, whale-iron, whale-harpoon
but whalebone, whaleman/whalemen
breechloader but muzzle-loader, -loading foreshaft and fore-shaft, treenail and tree-nail
Words in -skin are generally hyphenated, but exceptions are not marked. The forms “needlecase” (one word, no hyphen) and “needle case” (two words) both occur.
