ALPHABET USED IN SPELLING NAMES
The vowels a, e, i, o, u have their continental values, as in father, they, pique, go, true. E, i, and u are broadened when used with a breve (ĕ, ĭ, ŭ) or before a doubled consonant, assuming their values in met, hit, and put. Û is pronounced as u in but, au as ow in cow, ai as in aisle; ü varies from German ö to ü, French eu to u.
The consonants p, b, t, d, k, f, v, s, z, l, m, n, w, y, h have approximately their English values, but p, b, f, and v, and t and d are difficult to distinguish. C is pronounced as in ocean (as sh in shed), j as z in azure (French j), tc as ch in chew, dj as j in jaw, g as in get, ñ as ng in sing, q as German ch in ich; r is obscure, never rolled.
- ↑ The Hopi translate this Navaho name Katcina kwamû, Grandfather of the katcinas.
