Explanations.
The signification of the term: independent stem or stem-word
(radical word) as differing from the root or radix has been mentioned
before. In the following vocabulary I have tried to compile all the
stems or groups of words bound to them which I was able to
discover in the literary sources quoted above, only omitting some
words, the real nature or existence of which in the native tongue
seemed to be doubtful or too little susceptible of any reasonable
interpretation. It will be seen that the designation of the true stem
of a group of kindred words must have been no easy task even in
the Greenlandish dictionary. In a few cases the stem is represented
by what seems to be the very root itself; more frequently a word
is resorted to which is evidently a derivative. As to the other
dialects besides the latter expedient it is tried to indicate the supposed
stem by merely abbreviating a word belonging to the group.
The stem-words or the derivatives representing them are
indicated by heavy type and are arranged in alphabetical order according
to Kleinschmidt’s Greenland Dictionary. For this reason the supposed
stem-words peculiar to the other dialects are as far as possible
transcribed according to his mode of writing (their original form partly
added in parenthesis), whereas the derivatives excepting a few letters
and especially the accents and hyphens, are spelt as in the
originals.
The sign «†» signifies that the stem-word is obsolete and
probably not any longer used in Greenland in this radical form, but
only known through its derivatives.
The sign «*» indicates that the stem is supposed to be foreign
to Greenland.
The initials which with the sign «=» immediately follow the
Greenlandish stem and its translation indicate the other dialects, in
which it has been found by the author, either in this radical form
or as contained in derivatives. Then the examples of the latter,
headed by «Drv.», are subjoined, also comprising flexional endings
and various doubtful forms.
