A SURVEY OF AMERICAN INDIAN LOGOLOGY
SUSAN THORPE
Some years ago, I typed the index of Handbook of American Indians North of Mexico (‘Hodge’) edited by Frederick Webb Hodge, Smithsonian Institute Bureau of America, Ethnology Bulletin 30 (part 1 1907; part 2 1910). The two volumes combine to make a treasure trove of unusual words and letter combinations. Here, I offer examples of words covering a range of logological genres, with brief descriptions. A particular word may cater for more than one of the genres.
