270 CLASSIFICATION OF ALGONQUIAN TRIBES [BTH. ANN. 28 
PEORIA 
It was noted above that Peoria‘ certainly belongs to the Ojibwa 
group, as is shown by the accretion of a nasal and the formation of 
the negative verb. However, it possesses some strongly marked 
traits of its own. First of all, it has both n and / corresponding to 
Ojibwa, Menominee, Fox, etc., n under unknown conditions, and it 
agrees with Shawnee and Delaware in this use and to a certain extent 
with Eastern Algonquian. Further, a sibilant is not retained before 
p as it is in Ojibwa, e. g., paéimingi, Ojibwa ishpiming, Fox a'pemeg’. 
Below appear the tables of the Peoria independent, conjunctive, and 
subjunctive modes so far as the writer has been able to construct them 
from Doctor Gatschet’s notes and texts. The transitive forms of 
the independent mode are all taken from texts. Apparently Doctor 
Gatschet mistook the conjunctive for the independent. The confusion 
of surd and sonant has been left unchanged.

1 The writer has not sufficient material to warrant dealing with the question of the exact relation of 
Peoria to Miami, ete., beyond stating that they all seem intimately related.
