These expressions are put down promiscuously, embracing verbs 

 and nouns as they presented theinselves, and without any effort 

 to support the opinion, which may or may not be correct, that 

 the elementary forms of the adjectives are most commonly required 

 before verbs and nouns in the first and second persons. The 

 English expression is thrown into Indian in the most natural 

 manner, and, of course, without always giving adjective for adjec- 

 tive or noun for noun. Thus, God is rendered, not monedo^ but 

 Oeezha monedo, merciful spirit. Good luck is rendered by the 

 compound phrase, shdivaindaugoozzegun, indicating in a very gene- 

 ral sense, the influence of kindness or benevolence on success in life. 

 Songeddd is, alone, a brave man, and the word kdgdt prefixed, is an 

 adverb. In the expression " mild tobacco," the adjective is en- 

 tirely dispensed with in the Indian, the sense being sufiiciently 

 rendered by the compound noun appaukoozzegun, which always 

 means the Indian weed or smoking mixture. Ussamau, on the 

 contrary, without the adjective, signifies pure tobacco. Bikwukbn,
