Look Inside the World’s Most Beautiful Libraries in a New 560-Page Photo Book by Massimo Listri

Portuguese photographer Massimo Listri has spent decades traversing the globe to document the spectacular architecture, sculptural elements, and furnishings of historic libraries. His new book, The World’s Most Beautiful Libraries, includes views inside such rarefied locations as the Palafoxiana Library in Pueblo, Mexico and the Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève in Paris, France. Listri also includes descriptions and histories of each library. The 560-page tome is published by TASCHEN and available on Amazon and the TASCHEN website. Thanks Colossal

Russian loanwords in an indigenous Californian language

One of the most fascinating things to me is how certain words can spread very very far - to some very unlikely places - and one very interesting case of this is found in northern California, in a language family called the Pomoan family. In the early 19th century, Russians were setting up settlements up and down the Pacific coast, and one of the southernmost of these was Fort Ross, on Pomo land, in what is now northern California. The Russians were the first Europeans in this part of California, and traces of their colonization efforts remain still in Kashaya, a Pomoan language, in words such as:

kuška “cat”, from кошка

loška “spoon”, from ложка

mišuk “sack”, from мешок

šinitča “wheat”, from пшеница

kulučitča “wild mustard”, from горчица, which actually just means “mustard” - the “wild” meaning comes from reanalysis as being related to the originally Kashaya root kulu- meaning “wild”

molokko “milk”, from молоко

kafey “coffee”, from кофе (of which an archaic variant was кофей)

ča·yu “tea” , from чаю (the partitive case of чай)

čaynik “teakettle”, from чайник

čaška “dishes”, from чашка “cup”

pa·rus “canvas”, from парус “sail”

ya·palka “apple”, from яблоко

ču·ki “socks”, from чулки “stockings”

putilka “broken glass”, from бутылка “bottle” (I guess the Russians left a lot of broken bottles around Fort Ross?) 

kaša “gruel”, from каша “buckwheat”

pečka “brick”, from печка “oven”

tali “pulley”, from таль “block and tackle”

In addition, because Fort Ross hosted not just ethnic Russians but other nationalities within the Russian Empire, Kashaya got some loans from other languages too:

čamay “hello”, from Central Yup’ik čama-i

čawik “iron, metal, nail” from Alutiiq čawik

ʔeqše “fishhook” from Dena’ina iqšak

kalikak “book, letter” from Aleut kalikaq

kičak “anchor” from Alutiiq kičak

kuluwet “cattle”, from Alutiiq kuluwat, from Russian корова (the -t is a plural suffix)

nukkuk “jerky”, from Alutiiq neqkaq (prepared food) 

šakitaq “ocean bird”, from Eastern Aleut šakitar (murre)

taqma “woman’s dress”, from Alutiiq taqmak

tupulu “axe”, from Alutiiq tupuluq, from Russian топор

ʔukuluta “fence, garden”, from Alutiiq ukulutaq, from Russian ограда  

(Sources include Oswalt’s “Russian loanwords in Southwestern Pomo”, Golla’s “California Indian Languages”, and a conversation with Marianne Mithun)
