Waldemar Bogoras, "Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History: Tales of Yukaghir, Lamut, and Russianized Natives of Eastern Siberia"
Forgotten Bks | 2016 | ISBN: 1332753965 | English | EPUB | 158 pages | 0.5 Mb

The majority have titles corresponding to their context, which must be due to Russian influence, as the same stories in native languages rarely have titles.

As to the transcription of proper names and such words as are said to belong to native languages, I ‘have used, for the more or less Russianized words, the usual English alphabet; and for native words not Russianized, the special alphabet which I have used in the Publications of the Jesup North Pacific Expedition, vol.

Some of the tales are composed in part of rhymed prose. Some of these prose rhymes, though quite local and native as to contents, are arranged in the form of the ancient Russian lays. For most of these I give the Russian text with English translation. Notes signed W. B. Are by the author. A few comparative notes have been added by Franz Boas and signed with his initials.
