Jetté died in 1927, leaving an unpublished manuscript handwritten and hand-bound in seven volumes. In 1974, Jones began working with the Jetté manuscript, transcribing it into a practical writing system and adding sample sentences as well as cultural and grammatical comments. The main entries include more than 8,000 vocabulary items covering all aspects of Koyukon life. Dictionary entries are illustrated by 17,500 example sentences, 3,200 descriptive comments, and 90 of Jetté's drawings, diagrams, and photos. Introductory sections explain the sound system, writing system, and the differences between the three Koyukon dialects. Ten appendices cover topics such as the Koyukon verb complex, kinship terms, loan words from other languages, and flora and fauna. xciv + 1,118 pages, 114 figures, 6 maps, bibliography, index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alaska Native Language Center\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781555000639\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 217\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Jules Jette,Eliza Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537501614261,"sku":"9781555000639","price":67.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4839e111-4608-466d-8408-77f43caa9053.jpg?v=1779169837","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/koyukon-athabascan-dictionary-9781555000639","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
