Notes: Papers of the School of American Archaeology Number Fourteen.  Copy 1 from the library of Bertha Dutton, her name on upper front cover corner.   “A comparative study of these three languages (Tewa, Towa, and Tiwa) will prove interesting.  Tiwa, when compared with the adjacent Tewa, appears to represent both phonetically and structurally a more archaic form of Tanoan speech.  In fact, the relation of Tiwa to Tewa seems not unlike that which Von der Gabelentz would have us believe Tibetan bears to Chinese.” (page 15).   VERY RARE.  NO other copies available for sale.
