ak, a particle of frequent occurrence in 

 the Choctaw language. It is found, 

 together with its compounds, in some 

 form after nouns, pronouns, adjectives, 

 verbs, adverbs. The sense of this par- 

 ticle varies according to the part of 

 speech it succeeds. It is sometimes 

 ah, then hak or yak (perhaps hah 

 should be added, from k, definite, 

 and ak). It follows verbs. It is used 

 as an article and a relative pronoun. 

 It is a word often used for des- 

 ignation or distinction, not only of a 

 thing, i. e., a noun, but also of action 

 and herein it differs from the English, 

 except when we render the verb as a 

 noun. In akoke, Matt. 2: 6, it is dis- 

 tinctive and marks one object from all 

 others. It is usually rendered by the, 

 that, one singling out from others; 

 Imik akkeyukma pilashpahe keyu, if it 

 were not for the fire, etc. Compounds 

 of ak are: akon, hakan, maka n — akano —

 stituted — akatukan, the, Matt. 16: 12 —
