[many comparisons with Chasta Costa-Cahto-Hupa, notes that help with understanding Cahto phonology and morphology, Cahto words from Goddard]

___. 13 pp. of Cahto transcribed by Sapir in winter or spring of 1907-8. Included in Goddard, Pliny Earle. Athapaskan Field Note and MAnuscript Collections, 11. Kato Linguistic Miscellany (with Edward Sapir). Item #12.11 in the UC-Berkeley Anthropology Department Archives (housed in the Bancroft Library).

[Second best transcription (after Harrington's): almost consistently catches tc vs. ch distinction, catches ejectives more consistently than anyone except Harrington, inconsistently represents gh as "gamma" or "g", inconsistently represents g as "g" or "q" (following Goddard), represents stress and vowel length. The (apparently) precise representations of stress and vowel length have the potential to document the existence of complex interactions between vowel length, stress and the relative suffix -i somewhat like those in Hupa; but, alas, the corpus is too small and not quite consistent enough.]
