256 CLASSIFICATION OF ALGONQUIAN TRIBES [nrH. ANN. 28 
SHAWNEE 
The forms! I—HIM, THEM an., THEM inan.; THOU—HIM, THEM an., 
THEM inan.; YE—HIM, THEM an., IT, THEM inan.; HE—you (pl.), 
HIM, THEM inan.; THEY an.—yovu (pl.), HIM, IT, THEM inan. agree 
with Ojibwa, ete., im structure. For the probable noteworthy agree- 
ments with Peoria, see the discussion of that language. It is quite 
clear that one of the Delaware dialects agrees in the formation of HE— 
us (excel. and inel.), taey an.—uws (excl. and inel.), even if there is 
but the form HE—wvs (excl.) in the table to support the assertion. 
Passamaquoddy agrees in the forms for 1—yovu (pl.) HIM, THEM an.; 
THOU—HIM, THEM an.; YE intrans.; YE—ME, HIM; HE—Uws (excl. 
and incl.); HE—yovu (pl.), HIM; THEY an.—uH™. It is probable 
that the forms for HE—THEM an. and THEY an.—THEM an. are 
shared by Passamaquoddy (and Algonkin) but the phonetics are not 
certain. The forms correspond nearly to the Fox possessive pronouns 
for HIs (an. pl.) and rHerr (an. pl.). It is unfortunate that the 
inanimate forms of Passamaquoddy are not available, as they might 
show further agreements with Shawnee. However, it may be noted 
that I, THOU, YE—THEM (inan.), YE—IT agree also with Cree. 
Natick curiously shows apparent agreement in HE—Us (inel.), and so 
presumably would HE—uws (excl.). However, THEY an.—vs (excl.) 
shows a different formation, and hence presumably THEY an.—Uus 
(incl.) would also. The agreement with Delaware in the form for 
HE—HIM may be noted in addition to the one already mentioned, 
(For another one, see the discussion of Delaware, p. 277.) 
The forms with the termination -pe, though unique, are certainly 
to be associated with the Fox -pena even if the two do not entirely 
coincide. Those with the termination -pwa make it certain that Shaw- 
nee is related very intimately to Fox, etc., for no other Central Aigon- 
quian languages have the termination, though it is found (modificd 
phonetically) in Eastern Algonquian, and an allied form occurs in 
Piegan. The forms for 1, rHou—1r point also in this direction. 
The terminations of the two subordinate modes given agree with 
Fox, Cree, and Micmac in lacking the nasal of Ojibwa and Peoria, 
and Delaware, and the terminations are to be associated with those of 
Fox. Thew of the forms for HE, THEY (an.)—YOU is unique at present, 
otherwise the forms are normal. The forms HE, THEY an.—uws (excl.) 
are to be associated distinctly with the Fox correspondents, though 
the syllable -ge- suggests the Ojibwa correspondents. The first 
person singular intransitive agrees with Delaware and Micmac. 1— 
THEE at present is unique, but if complete schedules were available 
for the various Delaware dialects and for the eastern subdivision of 
the Eastern-Central branch, correspondents would doubtlessly be 
found. I—1T, THEM inan. agrees with Delaware. 
1 In giving these statistics no account is taken of such forms as are common Central Algonquian.
