1899.1 PRINCE — PASSA^IAQUODDY WITCHCRAFT TALES. 187 



Pass, uskifdp. Cf. in this connection Pass. n-Td-ap Mod. Abn. nJd. 

 dmba " my friend " (male). I find nldojubaskwa " mon amW in 

 Abn. for the feminine. This -ap clearly appears also in Pass. hJy ap 

 " buck " (male deer) and Mod. Abn. nomba-lha " cock." I am inclined 

 to connect the first syllable of Uskltap "man" (Mass. wusketomp) 

 with the Abn. root «x/^7" young," regarding the / as a mere con- 

 necting consonant. 



^ Athdziswul is a combination of nt-hLO -f- zis (sis), diminutive end- 

 ding, -f -wu/, obv. termination. This may be connected with Del. 

 achgook "snake," with which should be compared Abn. s-kog. 



^ Ne'seyik means " the muddy lake." The ending -ik is locative. 



^ Kizifnillitit. Kizi; sign of the past (also " can ") from the verb 

 kizitd " he makes," + p'm/, with which cf. Del. Imolittin " fright," -f 

 the participial ending of the 3 p. pi. -tilit. 



^°Kuspen, c{. kuspemuk in' vi, probably from kus- " big " also " fast," 

 and 'pe, the termination denoting water seen in Abn. sibo-bi " river 

 water." The Abn. word for water is Tibi, cf Del. mbi, Oj. nbi, etc. 

 This appears in Pass, only in compounds such as wikhig'' n-nup " book- 

 water," e. g., " ink." The regular Pass, expression is identical with 

 the Micmac, i. e., samagwan. The element kus- appears in Abn. 

 k'kustohgzin "you talk big, e.g., haughtily." Cf. also Kuz-ibid 

 "paddle quickly." 



^^ Nodam^n, from n\ prefix of i p. sing., -f \fnod, -f amen sign of 

 the inanimate. Cf Abn. nddamen " I hear " and Oj. nunddge " he 

 hears " (is not deaf). 



" Kisiakal ''he conquers him." perhaps cognate with Abn. k.kis- 

 tona-na "we decide, settle." 



'3 MT chine ^ cf. Abn. mdchind " he is dead." 



^* Sabdtissiz'l \s the name Sdbdtis, the. Indian corruption of Jean 

 Baptiste, ,+ the dim. ending -szs, -\- the obv. termination '/,ul. 



'* K'chi'kok "in the woods," with the loc. -ok, is, perhaps, cognate 

 with the Del. teke-7te-k "in the woods." If so, we must suppose a 

 metathesis te-ke zz k' -chi, in which the te corresponds with the prob- 

 ably palatalized -chi. 



'^ Kwillhogan is probably cognate with the Del. quillutamen "he 

 falls upon it,^attacks it." 



'^ W gichijiton "he knows," with inan. ending -ion, is perhaps cog- 

 nate with Del. kigin-amen "_he knows it," the Del. -gi- being repre- 

 sented by the palatalized -cki-, as in note 15. 



^^Xiwlzo ; s/liwT -\- zo, reflexive ending of 3 p. sg. Cf. Abn.
