Vocabulario de la lengua de los indios del pueblo de Cachi (Costa Rica) / colectado por D[okto]r Lucas Alvarado, Cartago, 1866. [between 1866 and 1878]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/557275359

C. Hermann Berendt's transcription of 71 vocabulary entries in Spanish and a language spoken by the Indians in the village of Cachi, in the Orosi valley, in the province of Cartago, Costa Rica. The vocabulary was collected by Lucas Alvarado, apparently in 1866. The language is probably related to Cabecar, or to both Cabecar and Bribri. A note in pencil running vertically along the outer margin of the title page reads: It is the Cabecar dialect of Talamanca and worthless for that. For the manuscript in Alvarado's hand upon which Berendt's transcription is based, see Ms. Coll. 700, Item 150; the latter also includes 2 letters from Alvarado to Berendt, both dated in 1873, and an expanded comparative vocabulary, in which the Cachi words in this manuscript appear under the Spanish heading: común Cachi y Biseita (Viceita); Berendt corrects the heading to read simply: Cachi. In the correspondence in Item 150 Alvarado also refers to the vocabulary as that of the Indians of Orosi (also in Cartago province). The manuscript contains annotations in pencil, including the labeling of some words as: C & B; or simply: B.
