MICHELSON] ALGONQUIAN LINGUISTIC GROUPS 261 
THEM, and THOU—HIM, THEM an. with Fox, Menominee, Montag- 
nais, and Cree has been already pointed out as well as the agreement 
(one form) with Fox, Ojibwa, Cree, and Montagnais in the termina- 
tion for HE—Uws (excl.). The concord of Delaware, Fox, Cree, and 
Montagnais in the ending for rHEy an.—vs is of importance in that it 
shows the northern relationships of Delaware, but a striking simi- 
larity is to be found in the fact that Delaware has a correspondent, 
though altered considerably phonetically, to Fox -pena. As noted 
above, this termination is found alone in Fox but has correspond- 
ents in Eastern Algonquian and Piegan, and Shawnee approximates 
it. The forms which have the equivalent of -pena in Delaware are: 
weE (excl., and incl.?), intransitive; WE (excl.)—THEE, you (pl.), 
HIM; THOU—US (excl.); YeE—Uus (excl.). In all these, however, Dela- 
ware has another form as well. The forms for we (incl.) are not 
given by Zeisberger, but it is reasonable to believe that they would 
be the same as the inclusive forms, that is where they would occur, 
with the substitution of k’ for n’. It may be added that Delaware 
has a correspondent to the Fox conjunctive mode. (For other 
points, see the discussion of Delaware, p. 277.) 
OsrpwA AND CLose LinGuistic COGNATES 
The following compose this group: Ojibwa, Ottawa, Potawatomi, 
Algonkin, and (somewhat removed from them) Peoria, etc. A feature of 
the group is the accretion of a nasal. Delaware agrees with the group 
in this respect and this is to be considered a special point of contact with 
the Ojibwa group. Examples are: Fox utei WHENCE, Ojibwa, Peoria 
ondji, Ottawa undji (Gatschet), Delaware untschi; Fox dneta some, 
Cree atit (for the phonetics, see the discussion of Cree, p. 239), Ojibwa 
anind, Peoria alenda, Delaware alinde; Fox andgw* svar, Cree atak, 
Shawnee alagwa, Peoria alangwa, Ojibwa and Algonkin anang, Dela- 
ware allanque. Other examples can be readily found by consulting 
the tables of verbal terminations. The formation of the negative 
verb by means of a suffix ssi (or slightly varying forms) apparently 
is found in no other Algonquian languages. Examples are: Ojibwa 
kdwin kiwibamigossi HE DOES NOT SEE THEE, kiwdbamigossig THEY 
DO NOT SEE THEE; Peoria wapamissoké DO Nor LOOK AT Mz, kikéilin- 
dansiwa SHE DID NOT KNOW (Fox kek +dne+itd-), Ottawa kawimshe 
kikikdnedissiwak (Gatschet) THEY ARE NOT YET ACQUAINTED WITH 
EACH OTHER (Fox ki+ke'k+éne+ti+wag' THEY HAD KNOWN EACH 
oTEER). A sibilant is retained before p (as in Menominee and Shaw- 
nee) in Ojibwa, Ottawa, and Algonkin, though not in Peoria (the 
writer can give no information about Potawatomi on this point): Cree 
kiepin (kispin) wr, Ojibwa kishpin, Ottawa kiepin; Algonkin kicpin; 
Cree ishpimik aBove, Ojibwa ishpiming, Peoria pdémingi, Shawnee
