1902.] PRINCE — A MODERN DELAWARE TALE. 33 



I. ^). Note the neg. ending -wa, as in II. ". Dulwihkawawh (for 

 ndul-) * I will overcome him '; cp. ahloowhweekahwut * the way to 

 overcome him.' The stem is seen in O. D. allowat ' sirongy 

 mighty.' Ktiitl ' I tell thee '; cp. A. kdi'iel, both from V~il. 

 Yoonich r=z yoon * this ' -j- ich (fut.) used here as relative * what.' 

 Ktilnumin * thou shalt do it '; see III. ^. Wauk ktiloohinoolin^ dind. 

 I will explain it to thee.' The k- prefix = 'thee'; the ending 

 -ool = I p. ' I ' -f the def. -in. See Prince, op. ctt., p. 299. 

 Wanjich = O. D. wentschi ' for, in order that ' with fut. -ch. 



V. * Andah warn loohmoonda * when he had shown him ail ' (not 

 translated correctly by Montour); from O. D. allohumassin *he 

 shows it.' Uhloointhoowh Mie departed'; also 111.^,°; IV. ". 

 Note the lack of subjects here which must be supplied by the con- 

 text. I have avoided this by a passive periphrasis. With nuhpah- 

 tah ' return,' cp. O. D. apatschin. 



V. ^ Andah keeshmeeithihteet, so in II. *. Wtulwachpeen alningich 

 I cannot translate. Montour's MS. is confused at this point. 

 Keesha, sign of perfect, as geesh in II. ®; warn 'all'; cheekhungj 

 from same stem as O. D. tschikhammen 'he sweeps it.' Neethkak 

 ' dirt ' = O. D. niskeu. The last part of this stem -eethk^ O. D. 

 isk seems to be cogn. with Oj. aj-ishki ' mud.' 



V. ^ Nakah wtupeenang ' on his bed '; nakah ' on '; wtupeenang 

 from ahpee ' bed ' (cp. I. ^) with pref. 3 p. ze/' with infixed / before 

 a vowel. Wluqknuhaun 'he covers him'; cp. O. D. metiach- 

 quohemen ' he covers it ' and Oj. pada-givanawa ; the common 

 stem evidently being V kwena. Waupahihauni = O. D. woapach- 

 saney ' white blanket.' Alpookwuhk andauch pookwuheengy lit. ' he 

 made a hole there in a hole '; cp. O. V). pquihillen. Andauch = 

 undach. Warheetawshta^ probably ' he lies down.' 



V. ^ Wtilamooltheen 'he feels '; with -mooltheen, cp. I. ^. Wtil- 

 keeshich 'he will make him'; cp. O. D. gisch 'make' — /. <?., 'he 

 feels someone making him (giving him power) to overcome.' 

 Uhlowhweekwaun ; cp. IV. ^. 



V. * Nin andpeethkahk, see on II. *. Lawinda ' in the midst '; 

 cp. I. ^ Dupih ' I am (here) ' from uhpee = O. D. achpin ' be in 

 a place '; A. abi ' sit.' Keeshajpe ' be ready ' (imv.), see on II. ^ 



V. ^ Andah'tahwining ' when he opened ' = O. D. tauwmznum- 

 men ' he opens it.' Kpuheekun^ see on I. ^. Fajkcheewh ' there
