TL;DR — The first full dictionary of the Hopi language (Third Mesa dialect), about 30,000 entries with an English–Hopi finder list and a sketch of Hopi grammar (University of Arizona Press, 1998).
Compiled by the Hopi Dictionary Project under Kenneth C. Hill, with senior contributing editors Emory Sekaquaptewa, Mary E. Black and Ekkehart Malotki, in consultation with a team of elder Hopi speakers, and published by the University of Arizona Press in 1998. The jacket calls it the first true dictionary of Hopi.
Entries give inflection, definitions and illustrative sentences, with line drawings, and pay particular attention to expressions for time and space that outsiders have often misread. The volume adds an English–Hopi word finder and a grammar sketch.
