«iContraction for hu-nun'p-hima'ni leg-two-he walks with. As it has no nominalizing prefix, 

 correctly rendered, it ought to read the two-legs-to walk with. It is used here idiomatically as a 

 noun. The verb is 1st person hi'mani, 2d person hima'sini, 3d person hima'ni. 



*^wo'- is a nominalizing prefix probably composed of wa indefinite pronoun and ho. It is used far 

 less frequently than ho. Jejain'ja is a contraction for jeJAn' to end and e'ja there, with preposi- 

 tional force. 



<2wa indefinite pronoun; gitoz or gdns (1st person ha'guns, 2d person ra'gHns, 3d person g^ns) to 

 create; the article -ra has the force of a relative pronoun here. 



"Ist person hakd'reho, 2d person rakd'reho, 3d person kd'reho, to re ready, to be about; Ak or Ank 

 3d person singular of suffix denoting walking or lying. (1st person -jk^tiA:, 2d person 5a'w.4«/;, 3d 

 person -^«fc); -iA is a suffix of uncertain meaning that never appears alone, but is always followed 

 by iiAi. It is generally suffixed to the elements denoting sitting and lying or walking. Indeed, I 

 know of no instance where -riAn is directly suffixed to the above forms of the verbs, -Sa being always 

 inserted before it. It must not be confused with ie, from which in actual conversation it can hardly 

 be distinguished. -nAn is a suffix denoting general indefinite action. 



«From p'ii GOOD, to be good, and ^'Un 2d person singular of auxiliary 'iin (see note 3). 



«From irregular verb, 1st person de, 2d person ie'rc, 3d person re, to go; kja future; -ne a suffix 

 of the same nature as Sa, never appearing alone, but always followed by -nAn; it is generally suf- 

 fixed to verbs in the standing form. 



<6 -ra is the 2d person singular of the possessive pronoun. Used here in a vocative sense. For this 

 reason the regular -ga is omitted. 



^TmAnhin an IRON KNIFE. This term was used to designate the first white people with whom the 

 Indians came in contact. 



t^hani with prepositional force of with, possessing; gi'gi an auxiliary verb (1st person ha'gigi, 

 2d person ra'gigi, 3d person gi'gi) to make, with the idea of some force being used in the action. 



19 Contraction ior man-ra-egi-ji-gi'ji earth-the-here-he game-when; -f'j^i is an adverb here, used 

 in a prepositional sense; for Ji see note 4. 



60 This means literally something terrifying (from nanhire to be scared). 



51 ho- preposition in; gi- preposition for. The demonstrative e is occasionally used for the 3d person 

 singular when it is to be expressed, -ni negative particle. 



62 Regular adverb, meaning therefore thus, on that account. 



63 Contraction iorjige' and higdn' then. 



Mfat reflexive (see note 23). 



66 Adverbial expression; ha in composition often means at. 



66ci (1st person ha'ci, 2d person ra'ci, 3d person cl) to live. It is also used as a noun. 



6' 1st person wai'kiw&, 2d person horai'kcwc, 3d person hoi'kewd; ho means in; i is probably g'i for, 

 with the g elided (see § 33). It may, however, be an idiomatic substitution for k'l, a possessive 

 particle. The verb means he is going to his own house. If it were not his own house, the forms 

 would have been 1st person wa'giki'wi, 2d person hora'gike'wi, 3d person ho'gike'wi. The stem of 

 the verb is ke'wS. 



68 Used in the sense of halloo, say, and often simply to begin a narrative. 



69GRANDMOTHER is hiko'roke; but in direct address k'u'nika is used, just eiS ja'ji and na'ni are em- 

 ployed for father and mother. 



soist person wa'de, 2d person wa'sere, 3d person wa'rd, to work. The 3d person singular of verbs is 

 at the same time the absolute form, to be translated by our infinitive. 



61 /li objective personal pronoun l.st person. For -gi'gi and -ra see notes 48 and 46. 



62 'tin has participial force.
