we remained until the ice broke up in the first days of July, whereupon we travelled by whale boat on along the coast to Churchill. In 1924 Helge Bangsted once more visited Baker Lake and the coast south of Chesterfield Inlet.[1]
Phonetic writing. In the following description I have, as far as possible, indicated each culture element by its Eskimo name in the dialect spoken by the largest group among the Caribou Eskimos, i. e., the Pâdlimiut. Only when an element exceptionally does not occur among them has another of the dialects been used, and in such cases this is expressly indicated. Besides, all the dialects are so similar to each other in every repect that the difference between them is quite insignificant.[2]
The phonetic system used is practically the same as that employed by Thalbitzer,[3] which again means that it closely resembles that used by l'Association phonétique internationale. The value of the various signs appears from the following table, although regarding the finer nuances in the pronunciation reference is made to my work on the phonetics of the dialects of the Central Eskimos.[4]

- ↑ Phonetically the principal difference is merely that the Pâdlimiut-Harvaqtormiut have [h], where the Qaernermiut-Hauneqtôrmiut have [ʃ]. Among the Pâdlimiut the "glottal stop" is frequent, among the Qaernermiut rare.
