lahoma use the pre-peyote word for ‘‘medicine’’ to des- 
ignate peyote ( Lophophora Williamsit)—naw-tai-no-nee 
and o-jay-bee-kee respectively. In addition, the Kickapoo 
have naturalized the word pee-yot into their language ; 
in this case, the word, formerly referring only to the cac- 
tus, has acquired the meaning of ‘‘medicine.”” Cases 
similar to this are reported in the literature, where, for 
example, the Omaha word makan (‘‘medicine’’) now 
means ‘‘peyote’’; this is true also for the Delaware bu- 
sung and the Taos walena.
