188 PRINCE — PASSAMAQUODDY WITCHCRAFT TALES. [Nov. 17, 



ndeliwizi *' I am called ; kd-^liivi-t-amen " you call it," etc. THe same 

 root appears in Del. wdelloivunsowagan " name." The Abn., how- 

 ever, drops jthe element // in the substantive wizdwbngan " name." 



'9 The Mrkwnwess is a wood-spirit which may become the familiar 

 of, a wizard ; the Passamaquoddies say, of a certain rndeaulin ; 

 7ni'kumzvess-u'ke ''ho, is partner with 2i7nvkumwess. The wizard in 

 this story was evidently in possession of such a familiar. 



'° Ntiogun consists of the prefix of the i p. sing. «-, the connect- 

 ing consonant -/-, the root i and the suffix -gmi " he." For this root, 

 cf. ji-i-i-dam "I say;" Abn. nd-il-gon "he says to me." The prefix 

 n- and suffix -gun with the root infixed always mean " he .... to me ;" 

 cf. Abn. n^iz-dgakim-gon "he taught me," and see below note 22. 



" Nglzikwetkeus is direct oration " I sank into the ground." Kizi 

 (see above note 9) becomes gizi here by partial assimilation to the 

 preceding nasal. 



" NglzlkTndsluggon cf. the remarks above, note 20, on ntiogun. 



^'^N'mTid/t "I see it" (inan.). The animate form is n^niha, as 

 above rUmiJid skitdp " I see (him) a man." 



^'' Elaptak, cf. Abn. alomtok *' tracks which he made" (parte). 



*s Wejoset, parte. 3 p. "which he made." 



'*To illustrate the similarity between the Penobscot and Passa- 

 maquoddy, I give here the Penobscot version of this and the fol- 

 lowing anecdote. In the Pen. dialect every syllable receives equal 

 voice-stress.
