A dictionary of the Maya language : as spoken in Hocabá, Yucatán / Victoria R. Bricker, Eleuterio Poʻot Yah, Ofelia Dzul de Poʻot ; with a botanical index by Anne S. Bradburn.

Summary:

Rather than the Latin-based arrangement used in other dictionaries of what linguists call Yacutec and the speakers call Maya, systematically lists the stems that can be derived from each root and that give the language its distinctive character. Includes many sample sentences, epitaphs, insults, riddles, aphorisms, and other elements in the mother tongue of 750,000 people on the peninsula. Among the paraphernalia are a guide to pronunciation, a short grammar, a botanical index, and a bibliography. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
