WesternAbenaki.com Orthography Notes:

In indexing words into this database we have kept the spellings consistent with the way in which they were written by Wz8khilain, Masta, and Laurent. Within their records of the language there exists, as seen in the chart above, only slight variations which should offer no problems with pronunciations. It is important to note that within Western Abenaki there is little if any change in meaning between the soft or hard letters g/k, b/p, s/z, d/t. For example, "kizi", or "gisi" would both mean "after/already", likewise "ta", or "da" mean "and".
