This thorough dictionary includes more than 13,000 Abenaki words, including many related word forms illustrating the complexity of Abenaki verbs. There's also a glossary of word roots and sections on pronunciation, orthography, and grammar, as well as some comments on dialects and loanwords. The main drawback to this book is that it is volume 1 of a two-volume set, presenting an Abenaki-English dictionary only. For some reason the second volume, an English-Abenaki dictionary, is not carried by amazon.com, even though it would probably be of more interest to the general readership.
