28 PRIXCE — A MODERN DELAWARE TALE, [Tan. 3, 



/^/d!^^/ 'shut the door '; A. kbaha imv. oi k ad ho jnuk ' owe shuts.* 

 The subst. ending -eekun = A. -higan, as mpask-higan ' gun,' lit. ' a 

 shooter ' (also Passa. -htg'n, as in wighign ' book '). IVaukitch = 

 wauk -f- itch, fut. ending. Cp. A. ta ' and ' + fut. ending -//. 

 Nooshwuhtoomich * I will put it in,' with inan. -;;/ and fut. ich. 

 This stem may be cognate with Oj. moshki ' fill,' as in fi'inoslikinadon 

 '1 fill it' (inan.). Uhpeeyuhk ' iedX\vex^'' ; cp. N.^Ahpee (?). 

 Nahtau probably means ' down,' the soft under feathers (?). Aleen- 

 awqtheet 'of all sorts' is a participle; cp. O. D. elinaquoi ^ \\v\s 

 or that. ' 



I. " Waupungeek 'on the morrow' = O. D. woapank, Oj. wa- 

 bang 'to-morrow'; cp. A. woban 'daybreak.' See I. ^ waupun- 

 geeka. Andah is an inseparable prefix = O. D. enda ' when * 

 (rel.). It is probably cogn. with Oj. anindi ' where ?' Keshiiootah, 

 a parte. 3 p. 'he making it ' (inan.). Cp. O. D. gischiton ' he 

 makes it '; A. ngizito?t ' I make it.' Meelaun * he gives it to him '; 

 cp. A. w'mildn. The ending -ha in wsheethaha seems to be a par- 

 ticle of asseverative force, as in quackwich-ha, III. ^. Wlalindumoo 

 'he was pleased with it,' from wule 'good' and -Itndum, as in 

 lawalindiniy I. ^ Wekwulup ' he received it '; cp. A. w^wikwnernen 

 'he took it.' The stem is Vz^///^. The ending -up is the sign of 

 the imperfect; A. -ob ; Fenoh. -pan, Laulpuksho ' he weeps,' from 

 lep ; cp. O. D. lepakgik ' those who weep '; lepakawagan ' weeping.' 



I. ^ Nulhuh-nuh 'then'; cp. O. D. nail ' 2X last.' The first ele- 

 ment nul here = the resumptive nul, as in II. \ III. *. Wluhlaun 

 ' he puts him ' is the animate form of the same stem as O. D. hatton 

 inan. Ahpeewtiyuhpeetiang ' in the feather-bed '; see above on I. **, 

 and cp. Oj. apishimon 'abed, anything to lie upon.' This word 

 seems to contain the stems ahpee ' feather ' and uhpee ' sit, lie '; cp. 

 V. \ 



I. ^ Waupungeeka with temporal ending -a ' when,' as in A. 

 paiodida 'when they came.' See above on I. ^ IVeenumultheet, 

 parte. 3 p. 'he is sick'; cp. I.^. IthpeenurJika 'he stretches out his 

 hand ' = O. D. schipinachgen^ from nachk ' hand.' The first part 

 of the O. D. iox'cw schipi \^ cogn. with A. siba-liljawi 'stretch out 

 thy hand.' Aleet ' that which is '; al^ rel. particle -j- eet = parti- 

 ciple 3 p. of verb 'to be'; cp. A. ali-a'it. Klithtuh 'hearken' = 

 O. D. gli stain. 



I. '' Wtilawul ' he says to him '; tv pref. of 3 p. -f infixed / be- 

 fore a stem beginning with a vowel -\- il ' say ' -|- wul obviative
