510 APPENDIX. 



Who is there? Ahwaynain e-mah ai-aud? 



Who spoke ? Ahwaynain kau keegcedood ? 



Who told you ? Ahwaynain kau weendumoak ? 



Who are you? Ahwaynain iau we yun ? 



AVho sent you ? Ahwaynain wayniinik ? 



Who is your father ? Ahwaynain kos ? 



Who did it ? Ahwaynain kau todung ? 



Whose dog is it ? Ahwaynain way dyid ? 



Whose pipe is that? Ahwaynain dcipwaugunid en-eu? 



Whose lodge is it ? Ahwaynain way weegewomid ? 



Whom do you seek ? Ahwaynain nain dau wau bumud ? 



Whom have you here ? Ahwaynain oh-amau ai auwaud ? 



Not the slightest variation is made in these phrases between 

 who, whose, and whom. 



Should we wish to change the interrogative, and to say he who 

 is there, he who spoke, he who told you, &c., the separable per- 

 sonal pronoun weeyi (he) must be used in lieu of the relative ; and 

 the following forms will be elicited : — 



Ween, kau unnonik, He (who) sent you. 



Ween, kau geedood, He (who) spoke. 



Ween, ae-aud e-mah, He (who) is there. 



Ween, kau weendumoak, He (who) told you. 



Ween, kau todung, He (who) did it, &c. 



If we object that, in these forms, there is no longer the relative 

 pronoun icho, the sense being simply he sent you, he spoke, &c., 

 it is replied that, if it be intended only to say he sent you, &c., 

 and not he ivho sent you, &c., the following forms are used : — 



Ke gee unnonig. He (sent) you. 



Ainnozhid, He (sent) me. 



Ainnonaud, He (sent) him. 



Iau e-mau, He is there. 



Ke geedo. He (spoke). 



Ke gee weendumaug, He (told) you. ' 



Ke to dura. He did it. 



We reply to this answer of the native speaker, that the particle 

 kau prefixed to a verb, denotes the past tense ; that in the former 

 series of terms in which this particle appears, the verbs are in 

 the perfect indicative, and in the latter, they are in the present 

 indicative, marking the difference only between sent and send, 

 spoke and speak, &c. ; and that there is absolutely no relative pro- 

 noun in either series of terms. We further observe, that the
