404 michelson: algonquian linguistic miscellany 



that in the case of double objects the pronominal form of the third 

 person object, singular or plural, animate or inanimate, is -Amo- (-Amu-) 

 before consonants, -Atnaw- before vowels. On further investigation it 

 appears that the interchange of o and aw is not restricted to these cases 

 but is universal in Fox. Examples showing this are d'pyatoijdn^ (J. 

 322.7) I HAVE BROUGHT IT [d — ydn\ 29; 'to, 21, 37], kVpyd'tawipw" 



(M.) YOU WILL BRING IT TO ME [kl — ipw", 28), d'pyd'tawutc* (M.) THEN 



IT WAS BROUGHT TO HIM [d — utc^, 41], pyd'tawigwdhig^ (M.) they must 

 HAVE BROUGHT IT TO ME [-igwdMg^, See below p. 406]; neneskinawdw" 

 (J. 68.14) I LOATHE HIM [ne — dw", 28], dneskinondnl' (M.) because i 

 HATE THEE [d — ndw*, 29]; d'kAnonetd (J. 8.5) he was addressed, [d — 

 etc\ 41; -n-, 21, 37], kAnawin'' (J. 180.4) speak [-n", 31]; d'A'd'tondgio^ 

 WHEN HE built THEM (iuau.) FOR YOU (J. 30.16) [d — ndgw% 29; -'to-, 

 21, 37], dcVtawiyAmetcin^ (J. 32.6) those (inan.) he made forus [change of 

 stem-vowel, 33 ; the table in 33 does not give the termination -iyAmetcin^ 

 as it is not constructed in such a way as to take into consideration such 

 rare combinations], Aci'tawiyd'kAp" (M.) thou mightest make them 

 (inan.) for them (an.) [-iyd'kAp"^, 30]. 



the supposed fox STEMwmwi- 



In section 16 of the Algonquian sketch in the Handbook of American 

 Indian Languages, a Fox stem uwlwi- to marry is assumed. This is 

 wrong; we evidently have the tj^pe of incorporation discussed in the Am. 

 Anthropologist, N. S., XV, p. 474 ff. as is shown by uwiwati^ (J. 146.3, 

 216.3 etc.) HIS WIFE [u — An\ 45], nlw" (J. 216.4) my wife [n — '', 45]. 

 The word uwlw"-, cited in the sketch, is either a mistake for uwiwah*, 

 or more probably for umwiw" he marries. This last is reconstructed 

 by myself but is supported in formation by kihuwlw^ i would have you 

 TAKE HER TO WIFE, J. 82.2, etc. [kl-, 28; -h-, 8]; wihmvlhiw" he wants to 

 get himself a wife, J. 320.14 does also [m — w^, 28; -h-, 8], though the 

 second h of this is obscure. Incidently it may be remarked that ownvA7i^ 

 (J. 228.8; a variant of uwiwau^) is wrongly treated in section 8 of the 

 same sketch. The first w, not the second, is the glide as is shown by 

 WW" my wife: compare nVkdn" (J. 14.12, 26.17) my friend as contrasted 

 with uwVkdnAri^ (J. 314.14, 15) his friend; see section 45. The -i- of 

 the supposed stem is of course simply the copula.
