Talk:Hogan

Need for a distinct article?
I placed the material from this new article on the Navajo page. Does the original editor, or others, have more material that would fit here? More on the religious significance? Diagrams and photographs? If not, perhaps the article could be deleted. Comments welcome. WBardwin 22:39, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I gathered up some info from the internet and expanded the stub. Images and diagrams would be very nice.  WBardwin 20:26, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Disambig page?
Maybe someone should also mention that Hogan is an Irish surname, a diminuative of "Og" meaning "Young".


 * And that, for reasons never properly explained, they all seem to trace their roots back to Borrisokane? (Emperor 02:57, 6 July 2006 (UTC))

Cleanup - Disambig
I added the cleanup tag since this article's getting muddied with multiple meanings of the word. It should be split into separate articles.galar71 16:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. There is now Hogan (disambiguation) and Hogan (surname). I'll remove the tag. Katr67 07:12, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

IPA pronounciation
Are we certain this is the correct pronunciation? If I remember correctly, the accent is on the second syllable, which is a short A sound, not a schwa. Spike2021 (talk) 08:04, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

As I suspected, the pronunciation as listed is incorrect. This page has sound files pronouncing several Diné words, including hooghan (hogan). http://www.hanksville.org/voyage/navajo/hooghan.php3 I suspect that my attempt at making a key would be lacking. I'll try in a day or two if someone more skilled does not do so. Spike2021 (talk) 08:19, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

-- As no one updated it, I tried to modify the pronunciation key to reflect the native pronunciation. I did the best I could, though it seems the "h" sound is more glottal than in English, and I saw nothing on the IPA for English guide that quite fit. I am no linguist, and looking around the Navajo phonology wikipedia page only confused me, and wouldn't be suited for the English IPA key anyways. Spike2021 (talk) 02:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Can someone please add a pronounciation key? --Selket 00:02, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Done. For future reference, Dictionary.com now has an option of an IPA pronunciation key, if you click "Show IPA Pronunciation" next to a word, so: --Miskwito 01:32, 2 February 2007 (UC)
