504 APPENDIX. 



wlien employed as preformatives before nouns and verbs, wliicli 

 it is important to remark. Thus 7ieen^ is sometimes rendered 7ie, 

 or «m, and sometimes nwi. Keen., is rendered he:, or kin. In 

 comj^ound words, tlie mere signs of tbe first and second pro- 

 nouns, N and ^, are employed. The use of iveen is limited ; and 

 the third person, singular and plural, is generally indicated by 

 the sign 0. 



The particle suh, added to the complete forms of the disjunctive 

 pronouns, imparts a verbal sense to them; and appears, in this 

 instance, to be a succedaneum for the substantive verb. Thus 

 Neen., I, becomes neensuh, it is I. Keen^ thou, becomes heensuh, 

 it is thou ; and ween., he or she, lueensuh, it is he or she. This 

 particle may be also added to the plural forms. 



Keenowind suh, It is we. (in.) 



Neenowind suh, It is we. (ex.) 



Keenowau suh, It is ye, or you. 



Weenowau suh, It is they. 



If the word aittah, be substituted for suh, a set of adverbial 

 phrases are formed: — 



Neen aittah, I only. Neen aittah wind. We, &c. (ex.) 



Keen aittah wind. We, &c. (in.) 



Keen aittah. Thou only. Keen aittah wau, You, &c. 



Ween aittah, He or she only. Ween aittah wau, They, «S:c. 



In like manner, nitttnn, first, and ishhwaudj, last, give rise to 

 the following arrangement of the pronoun : — 



Neen nittnm, I first. 



Keen nittum, You or thou first. 



AVeen nittum. He or she first 



Keen nittum ewind, 



We first, (in.) ■ 



Neen nittum ewind. We first, (ex.) ■ 



Keen nittum ewau. Ye or you first. 



Ween nittum ewau. They first.
