-lehduc tbi-ms causative verbs : ituhu to pray over, enchant, bewitch : 

 ituhu-lehaue mobi cho? Did you order (the sorcerer) to pray over (some- 

 thing) ? 



■letahaue involves the idea of duty, or obligati<ni : hohono-letaliaue must 

 be believed ; yaleno-letahaue must be observed. 



-no, -sola, -sole intensify the meaning of the transitive verbal base to 

 which they are appended and also form causative verbs: ituhusobi cho? 

 did you really bewitch ? 



-tnania means to desire, wish for ; incorporated into verbs it forms cJenid- 

 erafiva. 



Full paradigms of the verb cannot be given yet, but such elements of 

 verbal conjugation wliich seem to be recurring in most verbs, are, when 

 applied to the verb fno, to speak : 



ni mola I speak. 

 chi mo thou speakest. 

 oque mo he, she speaks, 

 ocare moke they speak. 

 chi mobi thou didst speak, 

 momate speaking . 

 The particle or sign of the preterit is -bi-, -vi-. 



Some personal pronouns used here are similar in form to the posses- 

 si ves, which are not prefixed, but constantly suffixed to nouns : 



itina my father, 

 itaye thy father, 

 itimima his, her father, 

 itinica our father, 

 itayake your father, 

 itimitilama their father. 

 To this table must be added a variety of inclusive, exclusive and dual 

 forms for the first person of the plural : 



our father : itinicale, itinicano, itimile, heca itimile, heca itinica. 

 Adjectives, when used in an attributive and not in a predicative sense, 

 are placed after the substantive which they qualify. The direct and the 

 indirect object of the verb is very frequently placed at the head of the sen- 

 tence. 



Selected Texts. 



To enable students of American languages to judge for themselves of 

 the nature of Timucua, I insert a series of texts which I have taken from 

 the most interesting parts, linguistically and ethnologically considered, of 

 those writings of Pareja which I have had the good fortune to consult. To 

 one series of questions I add the Spanish version of the original, to the 

 others the English translation of the Spanish version. 



For the old-fashioned, initial y of the Spanish and Timucua text I have 

 substituted the i, to which it is equivalent. 



Terms of kinship and genealogies. 

 Pareja gives several series of terms used in his time for the pedigrees and 

 tastes of the nobility and the people, which evidently are of totemic origin ;
