bald eagle, Zeisb.Yoc. 60 (from i/'oappS, 

 wliite, and ii:o lanne, (a bird's) tail).] 

 wompu, oihpu, he sees, he looks. This 

 primary verb is not found separately in 

 Eliot, but is employed to form numerous 

 compounds, in the sense of to look (to 

 see pm-posely), as vomompn {irmmiyeu), 

 he looks down ; pmmiiipK, he looks into, 

 etc. It is found in other dialects of the 

 Algonkin, as Cree wdppii, 'he sees' 

 (Howse 43); Chip, oow&hhxmden, he 

 sees it (Jones, John 11, 9). Cf. wm- 

 munat and nuhquaeu. The three verbs 

 signify: naum, he sees (voluntarily or 

 involuntarily, without reference to pur- 

 pose); nuhquaeu., he directs his eyes, 

 looks (by accident or designedly); 

 omjiu, he looks and sees. Cf. womjA, 

 bright, white; vompag, bright light, 

 'when he sees'; molitonipan (R. W. 

 molnuban), break of day, etc. See nad- 

 tauwoinjiii.
