Mtr^jifc means male human being; iJ^nfci^'fc is generic name for human beings, and secondarily 

 for Indians, (h)o-in'na is the nominalized form of the verb 1st person a'in, 2d person ra'ln, 3d per- 

 son in, TO ACT, TO LIVE. 



^ihide'k uncle; -waha'rd 1st person plural of possessive pronoun, used for terms of relationship.

 yaki'sge, 2d person hi'raki'sge, 3d person hiki'sgt 



6«Seenote63. 



'''ja'sgi how; kjS future; -j6 interrogative particle. The whole expression has acquired a force in 

 ordinary usage which makes it practically an exclamation. 



^je'sgeha'nina that is not my way; to'Mma is a possessive pronoun. 



Mfirftns HE CREATED; -ge a causal suffix, because, for that reason. 



'CAn expression similar to jegun'hid'7iAngd; gi has adverbial force. 



Tip' in TO be good is often used as an auxiliary verb with the force of to be able, can. 



''This means she must be related to them; iva plural objective personal pronoun 3d person; -hi 

 causative. It must not be forgotten that the causative is really an auxiliary verb and is often 

 used as such, -gu'ni a temporal suffix implying a probability that is almost a certainty. The other 

 suffix denoting probability, -Sgu'ni, has no element of certainty in its meaning. 



^*wc SHE SAYS changes to wa after a negative. The verb is irregular, 1st person hike', 2d person 

 hUe', 3d person he. The h of he is always omitted. The iv preceding a indicates that the subject 

 of the principal verb and of e is the same. If they had been different, the e would have remained 

 unchanged; nafiku'niisA contraction for nAnk gu'ni, the suffix denoting sitting position and the 

 suffix denoting probability. ICu'nika does not actually say the above words, but the supposition 

 seems so true to WaSjiiige'ga, that it almost amounts to a certainty, and therefore -gu'ni is used instead 

 of -Sgu'ni. 



'"'Ve dead; wa them; hagi'gi I did (see note 48); -ra that (see note 46); 1st person t'e'ha, 2d person

 person k'in, to do, to make; ne, i'V-i, re, i're, suffix used to indicate 3d person plural of almost all
