This Comanche dictionary is based on research drawn from the files
of the late Eliot Canonge which he initiated in the early 1940s
under the auspices of SIL International. Dr. Robinson has rescued
and enhanced this important body of data which spans traditional
and contemporary varieties of Comanche speech styles and four
geographically identifiable dialects. The Comanche-English section
of the work, with over 5,500 entries, constitutes the central
portion of the dictionary, but an English-Comanche section indexes
Comanche entries to aid in locating Comanche forms from the point
of view of their English equivalents. In turn, Dr. Armagost's
provision of an introductory exploration of Comanche morphology and
syntax further enhances this volume as an important contribution to
our knowledge of this branch of the Uto-Aztecan family of
languages. This second edition has been improved for
user-friendliness, especially in the English-Comanche section,
making it much easier to find a Comanche equivalent of an English
term. Lila Wistrand-Robinson has a Ph.D. from the University of
Texas, Austin and served several years with SIL International in
Peru. Her research was published in the book, Cashibo Folklore and
Culture: Prose, Poetry, and Historical Background (SIL
International Publications, 1998). She has also published an
Iowa/Otoe-English dictionary and taught Linguistics and
Anthropology at Kansas State University. James Armagost has a Ph.D.
in Linguistics from the University of Washington. He has taught
Comanche and other subjects at Kansas State University until
retiring in 2001. He is the author of multiple papers on Comanche.
