Summary

Vocabulary list of 42 words in Guatuso (Huatuso) with English equivalent, originally collected and recorded by J. F. Bransford on 10 April 1876 at Castillo, Nicaragua. The present manuscript is in the form of a copy made by Dr. Earl Flint, who had contact with Bransford around that time; the manuscript was preserved and provided with a title page by C. Hermann Berendt. Flint is variously said to have resided in Rivas or in Granada, both in Nicaragua; Berendt corresponded with him in Granada (see Ms. Coll. 700, Item 161). Bransford states that the Guatuso words were obtained from a boy from Rio Frio (in Costa Rica), who was about 13 years old and had been a captive for two years. Branford indicates that he transcribed the words as closely as possible according to their sound, using the Spanish sounds of the letters.
