Colonial Valley Zapotec to English Vocabulary
This Vocabulary contains 762 words and morphemes commonly found in the documents and some of their variant spellings. There are two main parts: the main dictionary (Zapotec to English) and the English-to-Zapotec Reverse Index, which can be used to look up a word in the main section.
If you know what the word might mean, but do not know what the Zapotec word might look like, the index will likely be the most useful place for you to look. Be sure to try looking under synonyms, as well.
If you are trying to figure out what an unidentified Zapotec word might mean, recall that spelling can be quite variable. Here are some tips for finding a Zapotec word in the dictionary:
- Disregard any accent marks. For example, if you are looking for <quéche> try by looking under <queche>.
- If you don’t find the word spelled exactly as you found it in the text, trying changing the spelling in ways listed below. For example, if you are looking for <aanna> and do not find it there, try looking under <ana>.
change to double consonants single consonants double vowels single vowels <ij> <i> - Disregard any <h> between two identical vowels. For example, if you are looking for <anachihi> and find nothing there, try looking under <anachi>.
- Keep in mind that the following letter (sequences) may be used interchangeably. If you expect your word to have one of these letters, try replacing it with the one (or ones) in bold, e.g. if you are looking for <veni> you might also look under <peni> and <beni>.
- p, b, u, v
- t, d
- g, gu, c, q, qu
- s, z, x, c, ç
- u, o
- e, i
There are two types of entries. Main entries, like anachi and beni below, and cross references for spelling variants, like anachihi below. Cross-references always contain the headword and the cross reference to the main entry. Main entries minimally contain the headword and the definition. They may optionally contain other elements, such as notes on the composition of the word, a list of spelling variants, and sub-entries of words related to that headword. Below, three entries are broken down and their component parts are numbered. A key to these numbered parts follows directly below the sample entries.
| 1 | headword | Each definition starts with a headword. |
| 2 | definition | The headword is followed by a definition. If there are multiple senses to a word, they are numbered. |
| 3 | notes on morphological composition | The component parts of a word may be noted. For example anachi is made up of ana ‘now’ and chi ‘day’. |
| 4 | spelling variants | Some possible spelling variants are listed. |
| 5 | cross-reference from a spelling variant | Some spelling variants (sp. var.) are listed in the vocabulary with a cross reference to the main headword. |
| 6 | sub-entry | Some subentries are listed under headwords. These can also be found as headwords with more information. |
| 7 | example | Some entries have examples. The examples are introduced with a reference to the text from which they come, followed by the Zapotec examples in italics and the English translation in quotes. |
| 8 | cross-reference | Some entries contain cross-references to other entries. |
| 9 | modern cognate with audio | Some entries contain cognates with audio. Click on the blue play button to hear a native speaker pronounce the cognate in that modern Valley Zapotec variety. Click on the black arrow to jump to that entry in the corresponding Talking Dictionary. |
The modern cognates with audio come from four Talking Dictionaries of modern Valley Zapotec languages. These dictionaries are collaborations with native speakers and were made possible by Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages, K. David Harrison, and Jeremy Fahringer. We owe special thanks to Fahringer for enabling the mechanism whereby Ticha can interact with the Talking Dictionaries. The language varieties are listed below with links to the Talking Dictionaries and the names of the contributing speakers.
