SHEA'S LIBRARY OF AMERICAN LINGUISTICS. XII. DICTIONARY OF THE CHINOOK JARGON, OR, TRADE LANGUAGE OF OREGON. BY GEORGE GIBBS. NEW YORK: CRAMOISY PRESS. 1863. PREFACE. Some years ago the Smithsonian Institution printed a small vocabulary of the Chinook Jargon, furnished by Dr. B.R. Mitchell, of the U.S. Navy, and prepared, as we afterwards learned, by Mr. Lionnet, a Catholic priest, for his own use while studying the language at Chinook Point. It was submitted by the Institution, for revision and preparation for the press, to the late Professor W.W. Turner. Although it received the critical examination of that distinguished philologist, and was of use in directing attention to the language, it was deficient in the number of words in use, contained many which did not properly belong to the Jargon, and did not give the sources from which the words were derived. Mr. Hale had previously given a vocabulary and account of this Jargon in his "Ethnography of the United States Exploring Expedition," which was noticed by Mr. Gallatin in the Transactions of the American Ethnological Society, vol. ii. He, however, fell into some errors in his derivation of the words, chiefly from ignoring the Chihalis element of the Jargon, and the number of words given by him amounted only to about two hundred and fifty. A copy of Mr. Lionnet's vocabulary having been sent to me, with a request to make such corrections as it might require, I concluded not merely to collate the words contained in this and other printed and manuscript vocabularies, but to ascertain, so far as possible, the languages which had contributed to it, with the original Indian words. This had become the more important, as its extended use by different tribes had led to ethnological errors in the classing together of essentially distinct families. Dr. Scouler, whose vocabularies were among the earliest bases of comparison of the languages of the northwest coast, assumed a number of words, which he found indiscriminately employed by the Nootkans of Vancouver Island, the Chinooks of the Columbia, and the intermediate tribes, to belong alike to their several languages, and exhibit analogies between them accordingly.[A] On this idea, among other points of fancied resemblance, he founded his family of Nootka-Columbians,--one which has been adopted by Drs. Pritchard and Latham, and has caused very great misconception. Not only are those languages entirely distinct, but the Nootkans differ greatly in physical and mental characteristics from the latter. The analogies between the Chinook and the other native contributors to the Jargon are given hereafter. [Footnote A: Journal Royal Geographical Society of London, vol. xi., 1841.] The origin of this Jargon, a conventional language similar to the Lingua Franca of the Mediterranean, the Negro-English-Dutch of Surinam, the Pigeon English of China, and several other mixed tongues, dates back to the fur droguers of the last century. Those mariners whose enterprise in the fifteen years preceding 1800, explored the intricacies of the northwest coast of America, picked up at their general rendezvous, Nootka Sound, various native words useful in barter, and thence transplanted them, with additions from the English, to the shores of Oregon. Even before their day, the coasting trade and warlike expeditions of the northern tribes, themselves a sea-faring race, had opened up a partial understanding of each other's speech; for when, in 1792, Vancouver's officers visited Gray's Harbor, they found that the natives, though speaking a different language, understood many words of the Nootka. On the arrival of Lewis and Clarke at the mouth of the Columbia, in 1806, the new language, from the sentences given by them, had evidently attained some form. It was with the arrival of Astor's party, however, that the Jargon received its principal impulse. Many more words of English were then brought in, and for the first time the French, or rather the Canadian and Missouri patois of the French, was introduced. The principal seat of the company being at Astoria, not only a large addition of Chinook words was made, but a considerable number was taken from the Chihalis, who immediately bordered that tribe on the north,--each owning a portion of Shoalwater Bay. The words adopted from the several languages were, naturally enough, those most easily uttered by all, except, of course, that objects new to the natives found their names in French or English, and such modifications were made in pronunciation as suited tongues accustomed to different sounds. Thus the gutturals of the Indians were softened or dropped; and the _f_ and _r_ of the English and French, to them unpronounceable, were modified into _p_ and _l_. Grammatical forms were reduced to their simplest expression, and variations in mood and tense conveyed only by adverbs or by the context. The language continued to receive additions, and assumed a more distinct and settled meaning, under the Northwest and Hudson's Bay companies, who succeeded Astor's party, as well as through the American settlers in Oregon. Its advantage was soon perceived by the Indians, and the Jargon became to some extent a means of communication between natives of different speech, as well as between them and the whites. It was even used as such between Americans and Canadians. It was at first most in vogue upon the lower Columbia and the Willamette, whence it spread to Puget Sound, and with the extension of trade, found its way far up the coast, as well as the Columbia and Fraser rivers; and there are now few tribes between the 42d and 57th parallels of latitude in which there are not to be found interpreters through its medium. Its prevalence and easy acquisition, while of vast convenience to traders and settlers, has tended greatly to hinder the acquirement of the original Indian languages; so much so, that except by a few missionaries and pioneers, hardly one of them is spoken or understood by white men in all Oregon and Washington Territory. Notwithstanding its apparent poverty in number of words, and the absence of grammatical forms, it possesses much more flexibility and power of expression than might be imagined, and really serves almost every purpose of ordinary intercourse. The number of words constituting the Jargon proper has been variously stated. Many formerly employed have become in great measure obsolete, while others have been locally introduced. Thus, at the Dalles of the Columbia, various terms are common which would not be intelligible at Astoria or on Puget Sound. In making the following selection, I have included all those which, on reference to a number of vocabularies, I have found current at any of these places, rejecting, on the other hand, such as individuals, partially acquainted with the native languages, have employed for their own convenience. The total number falls a little short of five hundred words. An analysis of their derivations gives the following result: Chinook, including Clatsop 200 Chinook, having analogies with other languages 21 Interjections common to several 8 Nootka, including dialects 24 Chihalis, 32; Nisqually, 7 39 Klikatat and Yakama 2 Cree 2 Chippeway (Ojibwa) 1 Wasco (probably) 4 Kalapuya (probably) 4 By direct onomatopoeia 6 Derivation unknown, or undetermined 18 French, 90; Canadian, 4 94 English 67 I had no opportunity of original investigation into the Nootka proper, but from the few words in different published vocabularies, and from some imperfect manuscript ones in my possession of the Tokwaht, Nittinat, and Makah dialects, have ascertained the number above given. Some of the unascertained words probably also belong to that language. Neither was I able to collate the Wasco or Kalapuya, but have assigned them on the opinion of others. The former, also called Cathlasco, the dialect of the Dalles Indians, is a corrupted form of the Watlala or Upper Chinook. With the Chihalis, Yakama, and Klikatat, and the Nisqually, I had abundant means of comparison. The introduction of the Cree and Chippeway words is of course due to the Canadians. None have been derived from the Spanish, as their intercourse with the Nootka and Makah Indians was too short to leave an impression. Spanish words, especially those relating to horses or mules and their equipments, have of late come into general use in Oregon, owing to intercourse with California, but they form no part of the Jargon. It might have been expected from the number of Sandwich Islanders introduced by the Hudson's Bay company, and long resident in the country, that the Kanaka element would have found its way into the language, but their utterance is so foreign to the Indian ear, that not a word has been adopted. In the nouns derived from the French, the definite article _le_, _la_, has almost in every instance been incorporated into the word, and the same has in one or two instances been prefixed to nouns not of French origin. Besides the words created by direct onomatopoeia, there are quite a number which are really Indian, but have their origin in the similarity of sound to sense. Dr. Scouler's analogy between the Nootkan and "Columbian," or Chinook, was founded on the following words: _English._ _Tlaoquatch and Nutka._ _Columbian._ plenty, *aya, *haya. no, *wik, *wake. water, tchaak, chuck. good, *hooleish, *closh. bad, *peishakeis, *peshak. man, *tchuckoop, tillicham. woman, *tlootsemin, *clootchamen. child, *tanassis, *tanass. now, tlahowieh, clahowiah. come, *tchooqua, *sacko. slave, mischemas, *mischemas. what are you doing *akoots-ka-*mamook, ekta-*mammok. what are you saying *au-kaak-*wawa, ekta-*wawa. let me see, *nannanitch, *nannanitch. sun, *opeth, ootlach. sky, *sieya, *saya. fruit, *chamas, *camas. to sell, *makok, *makok. understand, *commatax, *commatax. But of these, none marked with an asterisk belong to the Chinook or any of its dialects. The greater part of them are undoubtedly Nootkan, though there are errors in the spelling and, in some instances, in the meaning. Of the rest, the Nootkan _tchaak_ and the Chinook _tl'tsuk_ alone presents an analogy. _Klahowiah_ does not mean "now," nor do I believe it is Nootkan, in any sense. It is, as explained in the dictionary, the Chinook salutation, "How do you," "Good-bye," and is supposed to be derived from the word for _poor_, _miserable_. _Mischemas_ is not Chinook, and is probably not Nootkan. With the exception of Franchere, whose short vocabulary was published by Mr. Gallatin, and Mr. Hale, all the writers mentioned by Ludwig who have given specimens of the Chinook language, have presented it in its Jargon form, more or less mixed with the neighboring ones, and with corruptions of French and English words. Mr. Swan, among others, has been led into this error. The place of his residence, Shoalwater Bay, is common ground of the Chinook and Chihalis Indians, and the degraded remnants of the two tribes are closely intermarried, and use both languages almost indifferently. Setting aside interjections, common in a more or less modified form to several adjoining tribes, twenty-one words of those given in this vocabulary present noticeable analogies between the Chinook and other native languages. They are as follows: _English._ _Chinook._ _Hailtzuk and Belbella._ salmon berries, klalilli, olalli. _English._ _Chinook and Clatsop._ _Nootka._ Jewitt and Cook. water, tl'tsuk : tl'chukw, chauk : chahak. _English._ _Chinook._ _Cowlitz._ _Kwantlen._ _Selish._ six, takhum, tukh'um, tuckhum', tackan. _English._ _Chinook._ _Chihalis._ _Nisqually._ deep, kellippe, kluputl, klep glad, kwan, kwal (_tame_) proud, eyutl, juil. demon, ichiatku, tsiatko, tsiatko. black bear, eitchhut, chetwut. crow, skaka, skaka. oyster, klokhklokh, chetlokh, klokhklokh. game of "hands," itlokum, setlokum. _English._ _Chinook._ _Yakama and Klikatat._ certainly, nawitka, n'witka. always, kwanisum, kwalisim. younger sister, ats, atse. road, wehut, wiet (_far_). barrel, tamtulitsh, tamolitsh. buffalo, emusmus, musmus. coyote, italipus, talipa (_gray fox_). mouse, kholkhol, khoilkhoil. bread, tsapelil, saplil. needle, okwepowa, kapus (_a pin_). The Clatsop (Klatsop) is merely a dialect of the Chinook (Tchinuk); the Cowlitz (Kaualitsk), Kwantlen, Chihalis (Tsihelis), and Nisqually (N'skwali), are severally languages belonging to the Selish family. The Yakama and Klikatat are dialects of one of the Sahaptin languages; and the Tokwaht (Tokwat), Nittinat, and Makah (Maka), quoted in the dictionary, are dialects of the Nootka (Nutka), of which the Hailtzuk or Belbella (variously spelled Haeeltzuk and Hailtsa) is probably the northern type. It thus appears that, with two or three exceptions, the analogies of the Chinook, as contained in this vocabulary, are to be sought in the immediately adjoining tongues, or those of languages belonging to the same families with them; that these analogies, with perhaps one or two exceptions, can by no means be considered radical, and that their correspondence, or rather adoption, is easily accounted for by neighborhood and habits of intermarriage. A much more remarkable coincidence is the fact that two words included in this Jargon,--one from the Nootkan, viz., _Mawitch_, a deer, venison; and the other Chinook, _Mooluk_, an elk,--are also to be found in the Kowilth, the language of Humboldt Bay, in California. As this bay was first discovered in the winter of 1849-50, the words could not have been introduced by the fur trappers. With regard to the form into which this dictionary has been thrown, an explanation is necessary. The Jargon must in some degree be regarded as a written language, the orthography of which is English. In Mr. Hale's vocabulary alone has one more scientific been attempted, and of several other printed, and numerous manuscript dictionaries in circulation, M. Lionnet's alone, that I have met with, is according to the French. Although no fixed system of spelling exists among them, I have therefore deemed it best to preserve for the Jargon words that which most distinctly represents the common English pronunciation; while for the Indian derivations, I have adopted that recommended by the Smithsonian Institution in collecting Indian vocabularies, using the Italian sounds of the vowels, and representing the guttural of the German _ich_ by _kh_. This seemed the more proper, as the work would thereby be rendered of practical use, independent of what philological value it may possess. In collating the words of the present work and obtaining their derivations, I have been assisted by a number of friends; among whom I should specially mention Mr. Alexander C. Anderson, of Victoria, V.I., and Mr. Solomon H. Smith, of Clatsop, Oregon. ~Bibliography of the Chinook Jargon.~ _Journal of Travels over the Rocky Mountains._ By Rev. Samuel Parker. 12mo.

Mr. Hale makes it Chinook. It is certainly, however, neither Chinook nor Chihalis; and Jewitt gives _kakoelth_ as Nootka, while I find the Makah word _kotlo,_ and the Nittinat _kotl._ ~Mit-ass~, _n._ Cree, MITAS. (Anderson.) _Leggings._ A word imported by the Canadian French. ~Mit'-lite~, _v._ Chinook, MITLAIT. _To sit; sit down; stay at; reside; remain._ It is also used in place of _to have_ and _to be._ Ex. Mitlite kopa house, _he is in the house;_ mitlite hyiu salmon kopa mika? _have you plenty of salmon?_ mitlite (_imp._), _sit down;_ cultus mitlite, _to stop anywhere without particular object;_ mitlite tenas, _to be with child;_ mitlite keekwillie, _to put down._ ~Mit'-whit~, _v._ Chinook, AMETWHET. _To stand; stand up._ Mitwhit stick, _a standing tree; a mast._ ~Mokst~, _adj._ Chinook, MAKST. _Two; twice._ ~Moo'-la~, _n._ French, MOULIN. _A mill._ Stick moola, _a saw-mill._ ~Moo'-lock~, _n._ Chinook, EMULUK. _An elk._ This word, strangely enough, occurs also in the Koquilth of Humboldt Bay. ~Moon~, _n._ English, idem. _The moon._ Ikt moon, _a month;_ sick moon, _the wane or old moon._ ~Moos'-moos~, _n._ Klikatat, MUSMUS; Chinook, EMUSMUS. _Buffalo; horned cattle._ The word, slightly varied, is common to several languages. Mr. Anderson derives it from the Cree word _moostoos,_ a buffalo, and supposes it to have been imported by the Canadians; but Father Pandosy makes _musmus_ Yakama. ~Moo'-Sum~, _v., n._ Chihalis, MUSAM. _To sleep; sleep._ Tikegh moosum, _or_ olo moosum, _to be sleepy_ (literally, _to want, or be hungry for sleep_); nika hyas moosum, _I slept very sound._ ~Mow-itsh~, or ~Mah'-witsh~, _n._ Nootka, MAUITSH (Hale); Nittinat, MOITSH, _a deer;_ Nootka, MOOWATSH, a _bear_ (Jewitt). _A deer; venison._ Frequently used to signify a wild animal; as, huloima mowitch, _a strange or different kind of beast._ The meaning given in Jewitt's book is probably a misprint. Like _moolock,_ an elk, the word is found in the Koquilth of Humboldt Bay. ~Muck-a-muck~, _n., v._ Quaere u. d. MAKAMAK (Hale). _To eat; to bite; food._ Muckamuck chuck, &c., _to drink water, or other liquid._ Neither Chinook nor Chihalis.

Mika na klatawa okook sun? _do you go to-day?_ Interrogation is, however, often conveyed by intonation only. ~Na-ah, _n._ Chinook, TLKANAA. _A mother._ (Hale.) Peculiar to the Columbia, and now in fact obsolete, the Euglish MA'MA being used instead. ~Nah~, _interj._ Common to several languages. _Look here! I say!_ Nah sikhs! _halloo, friend!_ Also used in common conversation to call attention to some point not thoroughly understood. In the Yakama language, it is the sign of the vocative; as, nah tehn! _O man._ ~Nan'-itsh~, _v._ Quaere u. d. _To see; look; look for; seek._ Nanitsh! _look there!_ kloshe nanitsh! _look out! take care!_ cultus nanitsh, _to look round idly, or from curiosity only._ Mamook nanitsh, _to show._ The word is neither Chinook nor Chihalis. Dr. Scouler gives _nannanitch_ as Nootka and Columbian. It is possibly tbe former. ~Nau'-its~, _adv._ Chihalis, NOITSH. Mr. Hale gives this for _off shore; on the stream._ It means, according to Mr. Anderson, the _sea-beach,_ and is not properly a Jargon word. ~Na-wit'-ka~, _adv._ Chinook, idem; Klikatat and Yakama, N'WITKA. _Yes; certainly; yes indeed; to be sure._ Nawitka wake nika kumtuks, _indeed I don't know._ In answer to a negative question, many Indians use it as affirming the negative. Ex. Wake mika nanitsh? _did you not see [it]?_ Nawitka, _I did not._ ~Nem, _n._ English, NAME. _A name._ Mamook nem, _to name, or call by name._ ~Ne-nam-ooks, _n._ Chinook, ENANAMUKS. _The land otter._ ~Ne si'-ka~, _pron._ Chinook, NISAIKA. _We; us; our._ ~Ne'-whah.~ Chinook, NIWHA. It seems to be an adverb used, as is often the case, as a verb, the meaning being _hither, come,_ or _bring it hither._ Ex. Newhah nika nanitsh, _here, let me see it._ ~Ni'-ka~, _pron._ Chinook, NAIKA. _I; me; my; mine._ ~Nose~, _n._ English, idem. _The nose;_ also, _a promontory._ Boat nose, _the bow of a boat._ ~O.~ ~O'-koke~, or ~O'-kook, _pron._ Chinook, OKOeK. _This; that; it._ Iktah okook? _what is that?_ okook sun, _to-day;_ okook klaksta, _he who;_ okook klaska, _they_ (being present). It is often abbreviated to _oke;_ as, _oke sun._ ~O'-la-pits-ki~, _n._ Chinook, OOeLPITSKI. (Hale.) _Fire._ Not properly a Jargon word. ~O'-le-man~, _n., adj._ English, OLD MAN. _An old man; old; worn out._ Hyas oleman kiuatan, a _very old horse._ As regards articles, used in the sense of worn out. ~Ol'-hy-iu~, _n._ Chinook, OLHAIYU. _A seal._ ~O'-lil-lie~, or ~O'-lal-lie~, _n._ Belbella, idem.

Chinook, OOeTLAKH. _The sun._ Not properly a Jargon word. ~Ow~, _n._ Chinook, AU. _A brother younger than the speaker._ ~P.~ ~Pahtl~, _adj._ Chinook, PATL. _Full._ Pahtl lum _or_ paht-lum, _drunk;_ pahtl chuck, _wet;_ pahtl illahie, _dirty;_ mamook pahtl, _to fill._ ~Paint~, or ~Pent~, _n., adj._ English, PAINT. Mamook pent, _to paint._ ~Papa~, _n._ English, idem. _A father._ ~Pa'see-sie~, _n._ Chinook, PASISI. _A blanket; woollen cloth._ ~Pa-si'-ooks~, _n., adj._ Chinook, PASISIUKS. _French; a Frenchman._ Mr. Hale supposed this to be a corruption of the French word _Francais._ It is, however, really derived from the foregoing word, PASISI, with the terminal UKS, which is a plural form applied to living beings. Lewis and Clarke (vol. ii., p. 413) give _Pashisheooks,_ clothmen, as the Chinook name for the whites, and this explanation was also furnished me by people of that tribe. It has since been generally restricted to the French Canadians, though among some of the tribes east of the Cascade Range, it is applied indiscriminately to all the Hudson's Bay people. ~Pchih~, or ~Pit-chih~, _adj._ Quaere u. d. _Thin in dimension,_ as of a board. (Shaw.) Not in common use. ~Pe-chugh~, _adj._ Chinook, PTSEKH. _Green._ ~Pee~, _conj._ French, PUIS.

Hunt found on his journey to Astoria, and carried there with him. The circumstance is mentioned by Franchere, in his "Narrative," trans, p. 149. ~Pe-shak'~, or ~Pe-shuk'~, _adj._ Nootka, PESHUK; Nittinat, idem. _Bad._ ~Pe-what'-tie~, _adj._ Chinooi, PIHWATI. _Thin,_ like paper, &c. ~Pi'-ah~, _n., adj._ English, FIRE. _Fire; ripe; cooked._ Mamook piah, _to cook; to burn;_ piah-ship, _a steamer;_ piah olillie, _ripe berries;_ piah sapolill, _baked bread;_ piah sick, _the venereal disease;_ saghillie piah, _lightning._ ~Pil~, _adj._ Chinook, TLPELPEL.

(Hale). _The sound of a gun._ Mamook poo, _to shoot;_ moxt poo, _a double-barrelled gun;_ tohum poo, _a six-shooter._ Nisqually, OPOO, _to break wind._ ~Poo'-lie~, _adj._ French, POURRI. _Rotten._ ~Pot'-latch~, or ~Paht'-latsh~, _n., v._ Nootka, PAHCHILT (Jewitt); PACHAETL, or PACHATI (Cook). _A gift; to give._ Cultus potlatch, _a present or free gift._ ~Pow'-itsh~, _n._ Chinook, PAUITSH. _A crab-apple._ ~Puk'-puk~, _n._ Probably an invented word. _A blow with the fist; a fist-fight._ Mamook pukpuk, _to box; to fight with the fists;_ pukpuk solleks, _to fight in anger._ ~Puss'-puss~, _n._ English. _A cat._ On Puget Sound, pronounced _pish-pish._ Hyas pusspuss, _a cougar._ ~S.~ ~Sagh-a-lie~, or ~Sah'-ha-lie~, _adj._ Chinook, SAKHALI; Clatsop, UKHSHAKHALI. _Up; above; high._ Saghalie tyee (literally, _the chief above_), _God._ A term invented by the missionaries for want of a native one. ~Sail~, or ~Sill~, _n._ English, SAIL. _A sail; any cotton or linen goods._ Mamook sail, _to make sail;_ mamook keekwillie sail, _to take in sail;_ tzum sail, _printed cloth or calico._ ~Sa-kol'-eks~, or ~Se-kol'-uks~, _n._ Chinook, TSAKALUKS, _leggings._ _Trowsers; pantaloons._ Keekwillie sakoleks, _drawers._ ~Sal-lal'~, _n._ Chinook, KLKWUSHALA.

Pandosy gives SAPLIL as Yakama for _bread;_ Lewis and Clarke write it CHAPELELL. ~Se-ah-host~, or ~Se-agh'-ost~, _n._ Chinook, SIAKHOST, _the face._ _The face; the eyes._ Halo seahhost, _blind;_ icht seahhost, _one-eyed;_ lakit seahhost (_four eyes_), or dolla seahhost, _spectacles_. ~Se-ah-po~, or ~Se-ah-pult~, ~n.~ French, CHAPEAU. _A hat or cap._ Seahpult olillie, _the raspberry._ ~Shame~, or ~Shem~, _n._ English, idem. _Shame._ Halo shem mika? _arn't you ashamed of yourself?_ ~Shan-tie~, _v._ French, CHANTER. _To sing._ ~She-lok'-um~, _n._ Chinook, TSHAILAKUMIT.

Of only local use. ~Sis'-ki-you~, _n._ Cree. (Anderson.) _A bob-tailed horse._ This name, ludicrously enough, has been bestowed on the range of mountains separating Oregon and California, and also on a county in the latter State. The origin of this designation, as related to me by Mr. Anderson, was as follows. Mr. Archibald R. McLeod, a chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Company, in the year 1828, while crossing the mountains with a pack train, was over-taken by a snow storm, in which he lost most of his animals, including a noted bob-tailed race-horse. His Canadian followers, in compliment to their chief, or "bourgeois," named the place the Pass of the Siskiyou,--an appellation subsequently adopted as the veritable Indian name of the locality, and which thence extended to the whole range, and the adjoining district. ~Sit'-kum~, _n., adj._ Chinook, SITKUM (Anderson); Clatsop, ASITKO. _A half; apart._ Sitkuni dolla, _half a dollar;_ sitkum sun, _noon;_ tenas sitkum, _a quarter, or a small part._ ~Sit'-lay~, or ~Sit'-li-ay~, _n._ French, LES ETRIERS.

Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. 1.F. 1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.

LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation.

If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem. 1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. 1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

Newby Chief Executive and Director gbnewby@pglaf.org Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit https://pglaf.org While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: https://www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
