Show Songs of the Zuni Kachina Safety technical orthography which Stanley Newman used in his Zi/ni Gnimtnitr (]%S) 6. The best description of the Shalako ceremony is still that by Fdmund Wilson (1956:3-42). 7. The hierarchy of Zuni Kachina Society Songs, like the Zuni hierarchy of beings, creatures, and plants which Walker described (1966), consists of generic terms which arc, without exception, inflected and nongencric terms which are uniiifleclcd. Although he-musi-kwe, 'Jeinez people', and wilac7u -k*c, 'Apachc(s)' ap|x-ar to be inflected, thc--/?w'e ending is, according to Newman (1965:64), an agentive winch forms a collective term referring to the members of a tribal group rather than a plural form. Consequently, the one exception to this rule of uninflcctcd form for the lower level terms [4,5] is 7a-pacu, 'Navajos', where pocu refers to a single Navajo person and 7a-pacu, to members of the Navajo tribe. 8. I have resorted to an algebraic reduction of Zuni terms here in order to make this section easier for non-Zunis to follow. Capital letter [A] and (B] refer to larce subdivisions in songs which are similar to, but not identical with, our notion of verse and chorus. The small letters [a] and [b] indicate smaller sulxlivisions within |A] and [B] which share the same Zuni name and function similarly on this lower level. In other words, capital [A] and small [a] are both called kwayinanne, 'coming out', in Zuni, but no Zuni composer, singer, or dancer I know ever referred to song parts with an alphabetical, algebraic code. 9.
