We will first take up the terminations of the indicative. 1—you, 
YE intrans., YE—ME resemble the correspondents in Peoria and 
Menominee. Owing to the deficient orthography, a positive conclu- 
sion as to which of these Natick most closely resembles in the forms 
under discussion is not possible. It is probably the latter. wer 
(excl., intrans.); WE—THEE, YOU; THOU, YE—Uws (excl.); YE—HIM 
patently are to be associated with the Algonkin equivalents (and 
hence partly the Ojibwa ones). 1, WE (excl.), THOU, YE—THEM an. 
presumably have the same affinities. mE—vs (incl.) resembles the 
Shawnee (as certain others do as implied by the agreement with 
Algonkin) and Passamaquoddy (possibly also Peoria). HE—HIM 
apparently is to be connected with the Cree, Menominee, and Fox 
equivalent, but the phonetics are uncertain; THEY an.—THEM an. 
probably is to be associated with the Algonkin and Shawnee corre- 
spondent. we (excl.)—nim has a counterpart in Passamaquoddy. 
The forms with the inanimate object(s) are plainly composed of the 
intransitive forms and the pronominal element to be seen in Fox 
-amw%, -amowate, etc.: see section 34 of the Algonquian sketch in the 
Handbook of American Indian Languages (Bulletin 40, B. A. E.), pt. 1. 
The final m in X—1T, THOU—1T, HE—1T presumably is a purely phonetic 
accretion. It should be mentioned expressly that -wnwog THEY an.— 
IT is not to be directly connected with Cree -amwag, as is shown by 
the forms of THEY an.—ME, THEE (Cree ni—gqwag, ki—quwag, respec- 
tively). The corresponding inanimate forms of Delaware should be 
compared. 
It should be noticed that the personal terminations of the supposi- 
tive mode do not have the n as do the Ojibwa group and Delaware, 
thus agreeing with Fox, etc., Cree-Montagnais, Menominee, and Micmac. 
A detailed discussion is uncalled for. Most of the forms have the 
closest correspondence to Fox. The following find their closest corre- 
spondents in Delaware: HE—THEE, HE—YOU, HE—THEM (one form) 
an., THEY an.; intransitive, THEY an.—ME, THEY an.—THEE, THEY 
an.—yYOU, THEY aN.—HIM, THEY an.—THEM; HE, THEY aD.—US 
(excl.) resemble the Delaware correspondents.
