Description

his book took a rather - some people who knew that it was in the making over the past years would say unduly - long time to write. Saying that it was begun in one century and finished in another one may be regarded as a cheap witticism, but I overstrained so many persons' patience in the extreme in coping with this compilation for so long that this meaningless calendar accidence may indeed be mentioned as a symbolic - and thus not entirely meaningless - circumstance. I owe my first contact with the Ket language to Heinrich Werner, who is without the shadow of a doubt the best connoisseur of Ket, Yugh, and virtually anything Yeniseic in two centuries. The author of a truly impressive number of works, among them a full-scale grammar of Ket, which is still the best. No reader of this book should fail to consult it.
