  syllables 
  had 
  been 
  substituted 
  for 
  the 
  original 
  words 
  to 
  keep 
  most 
  

   of 
  the 
  words 
  from 
  the 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  people. 
  This 
  statement 
  may 
  

   account 
  for 
  the 
  paucity 
  of 
  words 
  and 
  the 
  lack 
  of 
  particularity 
  in 
  the 
  

   songs. 
  Their 
  meaning 
  was 
  general 
  rather 
  than 
  related 
  to 
  some 
  special 
  

   and 
  ritual 
  action. 
  The 
  few 
  words 
  in 
  this 
  song 
  and 
  in 
  all 
  those 
  sung 
  on 
  

   the 
  second 
  day 
  were: 
  The, 
  this; 
  howane, 
  what 
  I 
  seek; 
  Hu 
  n 
  'ga, 
  peace. 
  

   The 
  following 
  three 
  songs 
  are 
  interesting 
  musically. 
  No. 
  1 
  gives 
  

   the 
  theme 
  in 
  its 
  simplest 
  form; 
  nos. 
  2 
  and 
  3 
  are 
  variants. 
  These 
  

   three 
  songs 
  are 
  regarded 
  by 
  the 
  Omaha 
  as 
  distinct 
  musically 
  and 
  are 
  

   here 
  given 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  show 
  how 
  little 
  change 
  is 
  required 
  to 
  make 
  

   songs 
  sound 
  differently 
  to 
  the 
  native 
  ear. 
  They 
  also 
  throw 
  a 
  side 
  light 
  

   on 
  the 
  accuracy 
  demanded 
  in 
  rendering 
  songs 
  and 
  in 
  their 
  transmission, 
  

   a 
  marked 
  peculiarity 
  in 
  Omaha 
  music. 
  It 
  would 
  be 
  very 
  easy 
  for 
  one 
  

   of 
  the 
  white 
  race 
  to 
  interchange 
  these 
  three 
  songs 
  as 
  the 
  difference 
  

   between 
  them 
  is 
  not 
  striking.
