Resumen

The texts presented here with an English translation form part of the series that includes three texts previously published in Tlalocan vol. XI and vol. XII. The late Edward Kennard tape recorded them He transcribed them and with the collaboration of the late Anne Mae Setina, translated them. A few years before his death, Kennard gave us the manuscript with the texts for its publication in Tlalocan.aspects of the situation he encountered during his visits and describes the people who shared with him the tales. He states that when possible, he looked for older men who were monolingual in Hopi. The three texts are from Frank Masákwaftiwa, probably more than 70 years old in 1934, who was considered by the rest of the group as one of the most eloquent storytellers and was often asked to tell stories during the long winter evenings. The editor has made changes in the original orthography to conform to the new practical conventions for transcribing Hopi, which are thoroughly explained at the introduction.

Biografía del autor/a

Edward Kennard †

Fue profesor en el Departamento de Antropología de la Universidad de Nevada

F. Masák Aftiwa †

Fue un anciano hopi de Second Mesa, Arizona, muy respetado como narrador

Introducción

Los textos presentados aquí son de la misma colección de los que se publicaron en Tlalocan XI y XII. El desaparecido antropólogo lingüista Edward Kennard los grabó durante dos visitas a los pueblos hopi de la Segunda Mesa en 1934-1935 y 1938-1939, como parte de una investigación más amplia de su cultura. Él hizo la transcripción y la desaparecida Sra. Ann Mae Setima los tradujo todos en colaboración con él. De manera muy generosa, unos pocos años antes de que falleciera en 1988, Kennard nos entregó el manuscrito de los textos con la idea de que se publicaran en Tlalocan.

En la introducción que incluyó con los textos, aclara ciertos aspectos de la situación en el campo y describe a las personas que se los relataban. Anota que cuando le era posible, buscaba a hombres mayores que eran hablantes monolingües del hopi. Los tres textos que se presentan aquí son de Frank Masákwaftiwa, que debió haber tenido más de 70 años en 1934. Los otros miembros de la tribu consideraban a Masákwaftiwa como uno de los narradores más elocuentes de su grupo. Con frecuencia le pedían que hablara durante las largas tardes invernales.

En los agradecimientos que acompañan los textos, Kennard menciona dos becas de Elsie Clews Parsons a través del Columbia University Research Council, y otra más del Phillips Fund de la American Philosophical Society que le servía para revisar los textos en 1975; también da las gracias al personal del Museum of Northern Arizona, en especial a los doctores Harold S. Colton y Edward B. Danson, por las facilidades que le proporcionaban.

El primer texto, “Nukpana roba a las niñas”, se enfoca en Nukpana -nombre que Kennard traduce al inglés como equivalente a “Gigante”, pero que se glosa como “Evil (one)” o “Malvado” en el Hopi Dictionary (Hill et al., 1998: 37)-, quien rapta a una mujer casada. El esposo de la mujer, acompañado por sus hijos, decide rescatarla. Se encuentra con una anciana que le ayuda, proporcionándole ropa igual a la de Nukpana, pero hecha de chapopote para que el hombre pudiera engañarlo. Tras varios encuentros, el esposo logra que Nukpana se ponga la ropa de chapopote sin darse cuenta de que no es la suya, y que se monte en una hoguera a la que se le prende fuego, y muere quemado. Fue así como su esposa junto con muchas otras mujeres y niñas que Nukpana tenía en su poder, pudieron ser liberadas. “La iguana cornuda y coyote”, el segundo cuento, presenta a un coyote, el conocido tramposo, como uno de sus personajes centrales. La iguana cornuda ha sembrado una huerta de muchas frutas que el coyote trata de robarle. El coyote mete a la iguana en su boca y se la traga, pensando que de esta manera podrá quedarse con todo. Sin embargo, la iguana cornuda se aprovecha para morder el corazón del coyote y lo mata. En el tercer texto, “Lolenso”, Lorenzo es un joven no muy guapo que tiene una esposa muy hermosa. Los otros jóvenes del pueblo le tienen envidia y traman matarlo para poder tener a su mujer para ellos. Lo mandan a que mate una serpiente poderosa, pensando que ésta matará a Lorenzo. Como en el primer cuento, de nuevo es una anciana quien le ayuda al personaje principal a defenderse, proporcionándole en esta ocasión un veneno que lo ayuda a hacer amistad con la serpiente, la cual es llevada al pueblo, donde termina matando a todos, menos a Lorenzo y su familia.

Los sonidos del hopi y la ortografía

Kennard transcribió los textos con una ortografía con símbolos fonéticos. Dado que el Hopi Dictionary, publicado en 1998, establece una ortografía práctica para la variante del hopi de la Tercera Mesa, se decidió hacer unos pocos cambios en la ortografía, anotados abajo, para usar esas convenciones.

Vocales

Hay seis vocales cortas en hopi: a como en la palabra father del inglés, la e es abierta como en cesped, la o cerrada como en poco, la i abierta como en la palabra pit del inglés, la /i/, que realmente no tiene equivalente en español o inglés, es como la u del español pero sin redondear los labios, y se usa la letra u en la ortografía práctica, y la ö que es una vocal anterior baja redondeada. Todas las vocales pueden ser cortas o largas. Kennard indicó las vocales largas con un colon después, como en a:, pero se escriben con vocales dobles en la ortografía práctica. La distinción de duración es fonémica. 3HI__¶allí’ contrasta con peef-‘casi’.

También hay una serie de deslices o diptongos:

ay en tayta ‘mirar’ aw en awta ‘arco’
oy en congoy ‘su pipa’ ew en pewu ‘ven acá’
öy en ngöyta ‘perseguir’ iw en piw ‘de nuevo’
iy en hiylawi ‘distribuir’ uw en puwi ‘dormir’

Consonantes

Oclusivas. Hay cinco consonantes oclusivas en el hopi: p, t, k, q, y('), el cierre glotal. Son inaspiradas, como las oclusivas del español. Kennard transcribió las consonantes labializadas con una w como en k w ak w ay ‘gracias (hablando un hombre)’, la palatalizada con una y como en k y asta ‘hay muchos’. Aquí se escriben los símbolos k y , k w ,y q w sin la letra elevada, ky, kw y qw, respectivamente.

La q se articula con el dorso de la lengua que hace contacto con el velo en un punto posterior al de la k, ejemplificado por qóqa ‘hermana mayor’.

Nasales. M y n son como en el español; para la nasal velar, pronunciada como la n en banco, que Kennard escribió con el símbolo ƞ, se usa la dígrafa ng. Este sonido puede darse en posición inicial en hopi, como en la palabra para medicina -ngabi.

Hay una consonante africada, que Kennard transcribió con c, y que aquí se transcribe con ts; muestra variación libre entre una palatal y una dental aspirada, de manera que se puede pronunciar como chico o Tzintzuntzan en el español de México.

R en hopi es retrofleja con la punta de la lengua curvada hacia atrás, de manera que tiene una calidad fricativa. Pierde su sonoridad ante una consonante, de manera que hyaro ‘perico’ se vuelve kyasyam ‘clan de los pericos’.

Los demás símbolos h, l, s, v, y, y w se parecen a los sonidos que representan en el inglés.

Sin embargo, dadas las diferencias en pronunciación entre la Tercera Mesa y la Segunda Mesa, se mantiene la transcripción de Kennard de f, v y p, porque la Tercera Mesa no tiene la f.

Acentos

Acento primario = (´). Acento secundario = (‘).

Mayúsculas

No se usan mayúsculas en la transcripción de nombres propios en el hopi, ni al principio de una oración.

La editora dividió el texto corrido en párrafos e hizo la numeración y correspondencia entre el texto hopi y el inglés.

NUKPANA STEALS THE CHILDREN

1. Long ago they were living at Oraibi. 2. And something was always stealing -stealing the girls and women. 3. And one of them had just been married. 4. And she had a child for him. 5. And then she had another child. 6. So, she had two children.

7. They were still small children. 8. One morning, they were eating. 9. Then, their mother went to the edge of the mesa. 10. And again something stole her.

11. She did not come back. 12. Her children were crying. 13. Their father did not know what to do with them.

14. “Why doesn’t your mother come, anyhow? 15. You stay here. 16. I’ll go look for her.”

17. So, he went to look. 18. And sure enough, some one had defecated there. 19. From there she had come home, because her foot prints came from there. 20. Her husband knew his wife’s foot prints. 21. And they were getting close to the village. 22. That is how far they came. 23. Her tracks ended. 24. He did not know where she had gone. 25. Then he went from there to his children.

26. “It looks as if your mother has gone somewhere. 27. And I don’t know what to do with you, so we will go look for her.”

28. Then they went westward from there. 29. They were walking over that way. 30. Taking his children along, he went looking for their mother. 31. Then they came to Palangpi.

32. “You stay here,” he said to his children.

33. Then their father went off somewhere, and he was going to defecate there. 34. Just when he sat down, something spoke to him from somethere.

35. “Dirty. Not in here. 36. Go a little farther and then do it.”

37. Then, he went a little farther and there he defecated. 38. Then he went back to his children. 39. And then an old lady told him to come.

40. “You go to your children and bring them. 41. You will bring your children here.”

42. He went to get his children. 43. He went from there taking his children. 44. Then, he came to the old lady.

45. “You come in here.”

46. Then, they went in to the old lady’s. 47. The old lady felt sorry for them.

48. “Poor you! You will never find your mother, and yet you will still go looking for

49. Therefore, you will go over this way, to the west to Yungyatshay; there you will go look for pitch. 50. When you find the pitch, bring lots of it from there to the house,” she said to them.

51. Then he went there to look for that pitch. 52. He was searching there at the mesa. 53. He found it and then he was carrying a big one on his back. 54. Coming that way, he arrived.

55. “I’m thankful you have come. 56. After all, we’ll have to try to see what can be done. 57. He is very clever, so I don’t know how it will be. 58. Therefore, we will have to try to do something to him.”

59. The old lady was making a shirt out of that pitch. 60. She finished the shirt. 61. She also made pants. 62. She made a hat, too.

63. “This is it. 64. We will try to see what this will do, 65. because he is so smart. 66. All right, let’s go. 67. I will go with you.”

68. Then, they came out. 69. Then she put her shield down there. 70. They climbed up on to it. 71. Then that shield arose upwards. 72. They went on up. 73. Going along that way, they climbed above.

74. “This is where we are coming to. Here, at the hill, these children’s mother lives. So you better go alone. 75. And you will take this with you,” the old lady said.

76. And she gave him her medicine.

77.“If you take that, when you come to that Giant’s house you will squirt it from your mouth on his ladder.”

78. That is why the old lady gave him that medicine.

79. “You will go this way, to the north, to your uncle’s. 80. When (you get) there, he will speak to you some way.”

81. He started out from there. 82. So, he was going that way, and indeed, he came to his uncle. 83. Someone was building a house there. 84. He was in a hurry. 85. He came to him where he was building his house on the ground.

86. He said to him. “You have come?”

87. “I came.”

88. “I was hoping for you to come. 89. And I was hoping, but you were slow in coming.” 90.“Yes, I know it.”

91. “All right. You can go over. 92. I guess the old lady let you know. 93. Right here the Giant has a female-in-law. 94. And he is sure to (want to) gamble with you.

95. So, in your absence, I have been working on his gambling tool. 96. I have only one more to do. 97. I guess I will finish just in time. 98. All right. Go on.”

99. Then he left. 100. He went to his house. It really seemed that he had an ice ladder. 101. He could not climb it.

102. “I remember -this is why the old lady gave me the medicine.”

103. Then he chewed it up, and then he spit it out in it. 104. And the ladder got really tight, and he climbed up on it. 105. When he had climbed, he went into his house.

106. No one was home. He was looking around there, and on the north side the Giant’s shirt was hanging, 107. and also his pants, and his hat, too. 108. He hurried. 109. He took his shirt, 110. and he put on the Giant’s shirt. 111. He put on his pants, too. 112. And he also put on his hat. 113. And it was just like the hat that was hanging there. 114. And the pants, too, were just like the ones hanging there. 115. And the shirt was also just like the one hanging there. 116. It seems the old lady must have known about his clothes, so she made them just alike.

117. When he had done that, he had on the Giant’s clothes and he went in. 118. When he had actually gone inside, there were many women and girls. 119. The Giant had been bringing them there. 120. So, the women and girls did not know where they were. 121. He had been bringing them there.

122. And they were just staring at him.

123. Then, he asked them, 124. “Where is my wife?”

125. “She was sleeping in the west room. 126. Don’t go in there alone.”

127. Then he went to the west room, and opened it. 128. It was light in there. 129. The Giant was sleeping with his wife on the west side.

130. Then he got angry. 131. And he ran to them. 132. While he was still with her like that, he got to them. 133. He kicked that Giant hard.

134. “Get up. You trouble maker have made trouble for me.”

135. The Giant jumped right up.

136. “Hiya! You must be a clever one like me, 137. that you came into my house.

138. All right. We will go out.”

139. They went out.

140. Then the Giant went over to his clothes. 141. He put on his pants. 142. Then, he put on his shirt, too, 143. and he put on his hat.

144. He did not recognize they were his clothes. 145. They were just alike, so he did not recognize them.

146. After dressing, he said to him,

147. “All right. We will go out. 148. (We will see) what kind of a brave man you are that you can enter my house.”

95. “I will have all these crops. 96. I’ll be glad when all of Horned Toad’s crops are ripe. 97. I am happy I killed him.”

114. Coyote, “Just don’t bother that.”

115. Coyote tightly held his strength like this.

116. “You must not bother that. 117. You come out of there.”
