84 First hi reflexive pronoun, referring to the fact that the people are regarded as related; ni is the 

 negative particle. As I have never found another instance of ni appearing without hAfike', I assume 

 that I overheard the latter word. For -ge'jini see note 82. 



85 See notes 3 and 43. 



86 Referring to the Winnebago ghost-village. 

 ^T hisge' truly; -Sj?n intensive suffix. 

 88«;a'«jt)lfc A HARE (see note 38). 



89 Verb 1st person hai'p'in, 2d person rai'p'in, 3d person gi'p'in. The force of gl in verbs that elide it in 

 the first and second persons is ob.scure, although it is generally the instrumental prefix. In this case 

 it is the gi, meaning for, to; it is pleasing to me. ni negative particle; ka'jAn^ contracted for 

 -nAiik-ga'JAn (see notes 74 and 23). 



89 a e demonstrative this. 



9» The verb is found only in the reflexive form, 1st person wa'kara'ilk, 2d person wa'raka'raSik, 3d 

 person waka'raiik; wa indefinite pronoun; kara reflexive pronoun; -e- is a glide. 



90a This should be hi'renA'nHe, the change from e to n being due to the presence of the negative. 



9> An idiomatic expression with force of an exclamation. Probably a contraction of haga'-k-wajAn-^- 

 ga'jAn^mai'jAn; haga' is an exclamation employed by women (see note 115); maijan a year, time. 



i^nAnigS' heart. 



93 1st person hin'dek, 2d person nin'dek, 3d per.son drk, to be sork; i'jAn, hi'jAn, one, a. 



9'' Conjunction, meaning in spite or, notwithstanding. 



95See note 12; -ji, concessive conjunction meaning if; -gi'ji is often used with the same force. 



961st person /(t'n'pdn/irifcje'n^n, 2d person hini'pouAhkje'nAn, 3d person hipd'uAnkje'nAn. The initial 

 hi- in the first person is a contraction of the prefix hi- and the pronoun hin; -ire personal pronoun 3d 

 person plural (see note 81). 



9' From i'afc to be old. The fact that it has the nominalizing prefix would indicate that i'ak is a 

 verb. 



981st person hi'rahi', 2d person hira'rahi, 3d person hira'hi, to reach; -Sc/n or -fijf" superlative par- 

 ticle; for ne see note 81. The simple future -kje is used because the limits of the action are con- 

 ceived as having been set. The suffix -nAn would have made the future indefinite. 



99 1st person wa'ge, 2d person wara'ge, 3d person wage', to mean. 



wist person nan'jin^ 2d person nAnna'jin, 3d person nanjin\ to stand. The -we or ri is the impera- 

 tive. There are two kinds of imperatives, immediate and general. The immediate is -T^d, and the 

 general is -An'Je. 



161 Contraction for hira-ho'-hin-kdnA'nk-'imin&ha'nihe-kjane'nAn; hi'ra prefix meaning with, in sense 

 of accompaniment; ho prefix, meaning obscure here; hin objective personal pronoun 1st person singu- 

 lar; ko'nAnk stem of verb to follow; nihe' is an auxiliary verb and is used to imply repetition. It is 

 regularly conjugated 1st person ha'nihe, 2d person ranihe, 3d person nihe'. It must not be confused 

 with -ni'he, which is not conjugated and appears as a suflSx with the meaning of had; 'uni'ng they 

 do; for ne'riAn see note 43. 



162-jii objective personal pronoun 2d person singular. The stem appears either as -naink or uAnk 

 (h)a'nihe (see note 101). 



103 Adverb. The ending -a'je would seem to indicate that it is really the imperative form of a verb. 



io< Imperative form (see note 100); wa indefinite pronoun. 



106 From iiAiik man, and hani'nAn to have, to possess (see note 14).
