given for a very similar Quechua catechism that appears alongside the Omagua catechism in the<br />
appendix to Uriarte’s diaries (Uriarte ([1776]1952a:215-220, [1776]1986:602-607)). In the case <strong>of</strong> the<br />
fragments <strong>of</strong> Omagua found in Uriarte’s diary, the spanish translation consists <strong>of</strong> the translation<br />
he provides in text. We include these translations because they are the closest approximation to an<br />
‘original’ translation available, even though they are typically only partially faithful to the Omagua.<br />
3.2 Orthographic Representations<br />
In this section we discuss three issues relevant to the accurate assignment <strong>of</strong> phonemic representations<br />
for words in the Old Omagua texts: orthographic conventions employed by the original Jesuit<br />
authors; common scribal errors made by copyists involved in the reproduction <strong>of</strong> the texts; and<br />
certain diachronic issues relevant to the assignment <strong>of</strong> phonemic representations<br />
The orthographic conventions employed by the Jesuits who contributed to each <strong>of</strong> the texts are<br />
given in Table 3.1. 107 For the most part, the phonemic interpretation <strong>of</strong> these orthographic conventions<br />
is relatively straightforward, assuming Hispanophone orthographic conventions in the use <strong>of</strong><br />
graphemes like , , , and . Perhaps the most obvious non-Hispanophone<br />
conventions are the use for /k/ and for /S/, presumably attributable to the prominent<br />
role <strong>of</strong> German-speaking Jesuits in the Omagua ecclesiastical text tradition (see §9.1).<br />
