Abstract

This paper presents an updated version of a short text in the Seri language, about how the blue bottlefly sits on carrion and essentially is making smoke signals that then attract vultures. The text was one of two texts first published in E. Moser (1968). Discussion of the evolution of the text and its analysis is presented as well as a new detailed interlinearization that gives the morphological composition of the words. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
