A DICTIONARY OF THE CHOCTAW LANGUAGE 



171 



hushshiho, n., the feeling of chaff in 

 the clothes; v. a. i., to prickle from 

 this cause. 



hushushi, n., a young bird; a nestling. 



huttupa, hutupa, see holupa. 



hu n wa, v. t., to scent; to smell; to snuff. 



i has the sound of e in me or i in 

 pique and of short i in pin. The let- 

 ter i is used for y in words where y is 

 doubled in sound. The letter a often 

 precedes i, thus making a diphthong 

 Thus yukpa, yukpachi, aiyukpa, aiyuk- 

 pachi, and not ayyukpa, ayyukpachi. 

 The consonant is doubled to express 

 intensity. 



i, prep., meaning at, in, place where, as 

 iiksho. iiksho belongs to the intensive 

 form, but i occurs before other words, 

 ichapaka, imoma, itikba. 



i, adv., there, used as above. It rarely 

 occurs except before the word iksho 

 and has the same use as a and ai before 

 verbs. [Mr. Byington says, however, 

 in a note : " Th is needs correction . ' ' ] 



i n , pre. poss. pro. in the nom. case, 3d per., 

 prefixed to nouns that do not begin with 

 a vowel or with p, ch, I, or t. The noun 

 is often in the poss. case, as mikoi n holisso, 

 theking's book. It may be in the nom. 

 or obj. case, but the pronoun in Choc- 

 taw should be parsed as a n , chi n , in, pin- 

 anholisso, my book; inhaiaka, visible to 

 him; Matt. 1: 20. See im and in. 



i n , pre. per. pro. in the dative case before 

 verbs and usually translated with a 

 prep., s, of him, for him, etc. 



i n , his, their, 3d per. sing, and pi., re- 

 moved from the noun in the nom. and 

 placed before the verb, as tali holisso 

 inhotina, he has counted his money, etc., 

 or he has counted the money for him. 

 See chin, hachin, hapin. 



i n , of it; from it, etc. There are a few in- 

 stances in which in, in, etc., seem to have 

 the use of a prep, rather than a pro-

 ho chillahioke; infalammi, to the north
