This book is an edition of eight Colville-Okanagan Salish
ɬaʔ kɬcaptíkʷɬ (myths, legends)
narrated in the 1970s by Dora Noyes DeSautel (1902-1982).
A biographical sketch of the narrator, written by Adrian Holm, opens the book.
An introductory section describes where and how the narratives were told, recorded,
and edited; includes the free translations of the narratives along with brief explanatory notes;
and sketches the basic inflect-ional facts of the language.
The rest of the volume is the interlinearization of the eight texts in four lines:
the surface phonetics, the segmentation of the line in stems and inflectional affixes,
the morpheme gloss line, and the free translation. A glossary of all morphemes that
occur in the texts completes the book. An audio CD of the eight narratives accompanies the book.
