T. 



t, the twenty-third letter of the Dakota alphabet. 



ta, n. the moose. This may properly be considered 

 as the generic term for all ruminating animals, 

 since it enters into the composition of the names 

 of most of them ; as, tahiijca, deer j tatagka, 

 buffalo, etc.

 members of the body, limiting them to the cor- 

 responding parts in ruminating animals ; as, dezi, 

 the tongue, taceii, a buffalo tongue ; pa, the 

 head, tapa, a deer's head. 



ta, prep, in comp. at, to, on ; suffixed to nouns it 

 gives them the force of adverbs ; as, maka, the 

 earth ; makata, on the ground. See also ' ata ' 

 and ' yata.' 



ta, pron. in comp. his, hers, its ; with ' pi ' at the 

 end of the noun, theirs.

 sina. Why a buffalo robe should be called tagi- 

 caha we have been unable to ascertain, except 

 perhaps in contrast with the shell of the tortoise, 

 or it may be from some fancied resemblance in 

 shape.
