    2.0 out of 5 stars oh dear..., January 6, 2011
    By 
    Louise Hope (Eureka, CA USA) - See all my reviews
    Gosh, but I'd love to know what he means by "DLERK at the end of a word is pronounced like TSLERK". Is this Inuktitut or Klingon?

    The scariest thing about this dictionary is that it is not a modern reprint of a work of 19th-century missionary linguistics. It was revised by the author as recently as 1970. The introduction shows the lengths to which a Latin-biased missionary will go to avoid admitting that q (here written randomly k, kr or rk) is a letter in its own right. On the other hand, he gets points for not trying to find an infinitive where there is none to be found, and he seems to understand how the language works. Maybe he constructed the whole dictionary from written sources so he never really had to listen to anyone. You could probably feed the whole thing into a text editor, run some global conversions and come out with something that is recognizably Inuktitut.
