It preserves words and concepts that have since changed or even disappeared from the language, thus offering a unique historical window on earlier Comanche culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis translation adds the English equivalents to the original Spanish-Comanche list of 857 words, as well as a Comanche-English vocabulary and comparisons with later Comanche word lists. Daniel J. Gelo's introduction discusses the circumstances in which Garc�a Rej�n gathered his material and annotates significant aspects of the vocabulary in light of current knowledge of Comanche language and culture. The book also includes information on pictography, preserving a rare sample of Comanche scapula drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis information will help scholars understand the processes of language evolution and cultural change that occurred among all Native American peoples following European contact. The \u003ci\u003eComanche Vocabulary\u003c\/i\u003e will also hold great interest for the large public fascinated by this once-dominant tribe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Texas Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47614832181399,"sku":"9780292727830","price":2312.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780292727830.webp?v=1775096829","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/comanche-vocabulary-trilingual-edition-9780292727830","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
