It should be noted likewise that Cree ¢(é#) corresponds under 
unknown conditions to ” (or its phonetic correspondent) in the other 
Central Algonquian languages as well as in Eastern Algonquian. Thus 
Cree atak svar, Fox andgw*, Shawnee alagwa, Peoria alangwa, 
Ojibwa anang, Delaware allanque, Natick anogks; Cree atim poe, 
Fox anemo'%, Natick anwm, Delaware allum, Ojibwa animosh, Malecite 
ulamus (the last two really are diminutives).? 
Below will be found tables for the Cree present indicative and sub- 
junctive-participial modes.* The phonetic laws stated above should 
be kept in mind to see the correspondence with other Algonquian 
languages. 
1 It is gathered from Doctor Gatschet’s notes on the pronunciation and his graphic fluctuation of k, ‘k, 
zk in the same words when corresponding to Cree sk, that the true value in Peoria is ‘k. By this is inferred 
thesame regarding p. Examples are lacking to show the correspondent to Cree st, but the inference made 
at any rateis plausible. The writer’s conclusions regarding Fox, Sauk, Kickapoo are based on Doctor Jones’s 
and his own texts; those on Shawnee are from Doctor Gatschet’s graphic variants as well as the author’s 
own notes (but apparently there are also some secondary changes in Shawnee); those on Menominee rest 
on the writer’s own notes; those on Ojibwa are formed mainly from a study of Doctor Jones’s texts, though 
partly from the writer’s notes; in other cases the assumption rests on analogy. The quotations from the 
manuscripts of the late Doctor Jones are available through the liberality of the Carnegie Institution of 
Washington. Most of the Ojibwa words cited in this paperare from Baraga; they are easily distinguished by 
lack of most diacritical marks and by the use of sh fore. Similarly, the Cree of the writer can be easily 
distinguished from that of Horden or Lacombe. Such words and grammatical terminations as are taken 
from or based on Doctor Sapir’s field notes on Cree, Montagnais, Abnaki, Malecite, and Delaware, are 
expressly noted as such. 
*Abnaki wdamis HIs DOG, Passamaquoddy ndemis My DOG, both cited by Prince, are forms puzzling to 
the writer. See American Anthropologist, N. S., 1V, 316, 317, 324, 684. Even so, the statement that Cree 
t can correspond to 7, etc., of the other dialects, will stand. 
8These are extracted from Horden (Cree Grammar, London, 1881) with the exception of the inani- 
mate forms both as subjects and objects, which are extracted from Lacombe. The latter forms are not 
readily found in Horden and the table in Lacombe is highly confusing in other forms. That the forms 
exist in Moose Cree is shown by the texts in Horden’s Grammar.
