ASIATIC TRIBES OF NORTH AMERICA. 187 
agwat is oohuwa, boat; rinaka and iegnika are ronwaye and 
aqueianha, boy; aghynak is eghnisera, day; nutenut, nuna, are 
ononentsia, neujah, earth ; atta, annak and illiguin are ata, hanec and 
lahkent, father ; annak is yoneks, fire; gitkat is atchita, foot ; kaaguk 
is kowa, great; nujak is onuchquira, hair; khigan, kihiguin are 
kiunyage, heaven, sky ; gailigen is kelanqguaw, moon ; anak is aneheh, 
mother ; ekigin is agwaghsene, mouth; chynga is yuungah, nose; 
kiuk is joke, kaihyoehakouh, river ; anighu is ouniyeghte, snow ; gutuk 
is otoatseh, tooth; utut is ohotee, tree; mok and nouna are ohneka and 
nekahnoos, water ; aganak is ekening, woman; acik is osae, young; 
ainhanka is entage, eninya, finger; wnako is eniorhene, to-morrow ; 
kanujak is kanadzia, copper ; and kulle is oyelih, ten. In some ‘of 
these words, the increment of which I have spoken, will be observed. 
Thus, aghynak becomes eghnis-era ; nujak is lengthened to onuchqui- 
ra, anighu to ouniyegh-te ; unako, the Choctaw onaha, to-morrow, 
takes an interpolated 7, which is probably a mere strengthening of 
the vowel a, and adds ne, eniorhe-ne. The strength of the Iroquois 
words comes out well in the Japanese and Loo-Choo. Thus we have 
kuru, Japanese, karo Mohawk, come ; kurrazzee, Loo-Choo, arochia, 
Huron, hair ; kokurro, Jap., hahweriacha, Iroquois, heart ; atcheeroo, 
Loo-Choo, otorahawte, Huron, hot; korossu, Jap., kerios, Iroquois, 
kill ; sheervosa, Loo-Choo, kearagea, Mohawk, white; teeroo, Loo- 
Choo, afere, Iroquois, basket. Terms for man, woman and child are 
fairly represented in this group:—WHito, otoko, Jap., give itaatsin, 
etschinak, hatgina, man; tackki and innago, Loo-Choo, give 
otaikai and yonkwe, woman ; kodoma, Jap., is kotonia, and wocka, 
Loo-Choo, woccanoune, child. The Aino, which furnishes in its 
ethnic term for man, an equivalent to aineehau, eniha, in zia sister 
adds the original of the Iroquois tsiha, akzia. Its oondee, arm, is the 
Iroquois aonuntsa ; cahant, boat, is gahonhwa ; kounetsou, woon, 
kanoughquaw and eghinda; wakha, water, auweah ; askippi, finger, 
oosookway ; and o, yes, 70. The Kamtchatdale is also fairly repre- 
sented in Iroquois. Its form for axe, kvisqgva, is the nearest I know 
to the Iroquois askwechia; adkang, bad, is the Iroquois hetken ; 
ktshidzshi, brother, finds its analogues in yatsi, atsiha ; koquasitch, 
come, in kats ; kossa, dog, in cheeth ; kwatshquikotsh, see, in atkahtos; 
quaagh, face, in ookahsah ; chtshitshoo, girl, in yaweetseutho, caidaizai ; 
settoo, hand, in chotta ; kisut, house, in ganasote ; koschoo, sister, in 
akchiha, &c. The Iroquois third personal pronoun ra, re is the
