Excerpt from Chahta Leksikon: A Choctaw in English Definition, for the Choctaw Academies and Schools
The demand for the English definition of the Choctaw Language having been great and extensive for a few years past, the Author has undertaken to meet the urgent necessity. Therefore, this volume is now laid before the public as a contribution to the long felt want of the non-english speaking Choctaws, as well as of the non-choctaw speaking people. It is not professed to be a perfect and complete work of the kind. Every effort, however, has been rendered to give as correct a definition as possible; but there being so many particles which cannot be defined by themselves, except in connection with the nouns and verbs, no doubt there will be found, to many, inexplicable prefixes and affixes. But, on the whole, those who only desire to know the meaning of either Choctaw or English, without trying to fully know the roots and all the euphonic changes, will find sufficient for their purpose. Apartial help has been secured from an anonymous manuscript Definer and the old Choctaw Definer. If the work supplies that which was desired, the author will deem himself amply paid for long and laborious effort.
