4. The phrase ''Creator of heaven and earth" is translated 

 maietnoie yejare nesiquete. 



5. The words ne^ique paye seem to be repeated by error. 



6. Aunre, from aunne, to give to eat, derived from anye, to eat ;

 mainpi pirahe may a que Dios. 



The following is the version in " Encabellada," given from the 

 Mezzofanti Collection in Teza's Saggi Inediti de Lingue Americane 

 (Pisa, 1868): 



May ake matemote pay que mue mami, oycique paye mue paykero : mnyni 

 raygen mue yeye nezlque pnye exaiiie yexaaa, matemote yoygi. Zla omun- 

 cepi aunre mayni incigen : may quayeyocere guaniyenigen exanie may 

 quayeyocehuatire guaniyenieJiunu : quayeyote maypi piraygen ziaqua qua- 

 chacere mayni rehaygen. 



It is evident that this is the same dialect, but a version by a dif- 

 ferent hand, in which a varied phraseology has at times been 

 adopted.
