From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

Klamath morpheme list from Barker (1963), as digitized by Philip Spaelti of Kobe Shoin Women's University at his Klamath Dictionary website:[1]

Important note—Entries in this list are morphemes according to Barker's linguistic analysis of the Klamath language, and are rendered in Barker's morphophonemic notation. They are not proper Klamath words. Some morphemes can appear in isolation as stand-alone words, but may not appear in the same form.

proper names: these are alphabetized according to their English translation (quite makeshift in many cases) in four major sections: mythological characters (and cf. under “mythological animals” as well), men’s proper names, women’s proper names. and animals’ proper names.proper names—mythological characters: These are divided on the basis of their occurrence in the accompanying Texts into major characters, subsidiary characters. and minor characters. Many more common nouns also occur as the names of myth beings (e.g., such important figures as /čʼaˑqyʼaˑk/ “Little Boy”), but they are not found in any of the author’s texts and so are not included here. A few names which do not occur in the Texts but which have no common noun meaning (i.e., function only as “proper names”) are added here. Text references follow each entry wherever possible. It should be noted that the present division into major, subsidiary. and minor characters is based solely upon the occurrence of these figures in the author’s texts; in the totality of Klamath mythology the status of many of these beings would almost certainly have to be changed.

[unknown meaning:] a number of segments are found for which no meaning can be assigned. Many of these are of dubious segmentation as well. These will be listed here for purposes of future research. It may also be noted that several proper names and many place names also were recorded with no analysis. In view of the overwhelming majority of Klamath personal and place names which do have semantic content, these items are also suspect. They will be found in full at the end of the sections on “proper names” and “place names.”
