\it1i lia-^ the fcirinativeof action l)y the

*micliachuiick (Narr. ), tlie soul. R. 

 Williams (113) says this word "is of 

 affinity with a word signifying a look- 

 ing glass, or clear re.semblance, so that 

 it hath its name from a clear sight 

 or discerning." Pierson's Catechism 

 in the Quinnipiac dialect has milta- 

 chonkq, soul. The word has no discov- 

 erable affinity with either of the two 

 names {kaul-aklneamuck and jjebmoch- 

 irhaufjudnickf) which AVilliams gives 

 (]). 136) to 'looking gla,ss'. Elsewhere 

 (]). 116) Williams writespl. inichirhoiirk-
