984 ORIGIN OF THE WHITE BUFFALO DANCE, [BTH. ANN. 40. 
‘siine’tamag ve’ “(we have derived benefit from it,’’ [ef. 190.5] and iine- 
“‘tamawagw°® osiman! ‘“‘ because we slew his younger brother”’ in Jones’s 
Fox Texts at 344.10. It is quite possible that 4 me’sinetama’- 
giyag*ve’ is due solely to its occurrence in a speech in which the 
mystic word nd‘tc' is interspersed everywhere, but the first case 
must be old as is to be seen from Algonkin nitamagek ‘“ they kill for 
another’’ (quoted from Cuogq, Gr. de la langue algonquine, §225). 
§ 29. An anomalous form which belongs in §29 occurs in the texts 
at 138.32: 4°me'kawi’‘cinan(i) “was whereIstumbled.’’ Theanomaly 
is to be explained as due to phonetic law (see p. 616).? 
§ 30. Potential mode. There are some forms in the texts that do 
not agree with the ones given in the sketch. Thus wi'ciga’pi kan(i) 
“you [sing.] shall sit firmly,” 236.5; wipa'cka”kago’ “we [incl.] 
would fall down,” 158.4; kivininiwuti"kago™ ‘we [incl.] might 
always see each other about,” 174.26; attcimo‘'a’kan(i) “you [sing.] 
must tell them,’’ 122.21; ku'ta’mo'kani, “you [sing.] should fear it,”’ 
236.6, 7. It will be recalled that in Kickapoo there is a similar case: 
see Jones’s Kickapoo Texts, 98, footnote 1, and 125. It should be 
observed that -i- in -&'kani is the same element found in -&%tci, 
-iwa‘tel’, -as*‘, -Awa's*’, etc., and similarly -amo6- in -Am6'kani the 
same as in -Amo6g*', -amowa"te"’, etc. 
§ 30. Potential subjunctive mode. The following does not agree 
with the correspondent in the table given in the sketch: awitai’- 
yituge ka‘ckimawapata’gago'a “might we [incl.] not be able to go 
over to see it?’’, 194.1, 2. See also 194.3. 
§ 30. Prohibitive mode. These texts and others, as well as some 
notes, show that all forms in the table with “he” and “they” as 
subjects should have terminal -e, not -1. The same applies to the 
potential mode. 
§ 31. Imperative mode. A novel formation is to be found in 
mawinatawiwi senitag(e) “let us go over and see if we could eat,” 
184.20. That this is an ancient formation is shown by Cree -tak 
(Lacombe, Grammaire de la langue des Cris, 59 top). 
§ 32. Interrogative mode. From nesatiin' “they must have slain 
him” in Jones’s Fox Texts at 94.14 it is evident that there exists in 
Fox a mode that bears a close relation to the conjunctive of the 
interrogative mode: with -atéin™' (in my transcription) compare 
-Agwini (-agwiin™') in the table shown on page 406, vol. iv, of the 
Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences, and for the usage 
compare § 32 of the sketch. In the said Journal (iv, 408, 409) I have 
shown that there exists a participial bearing the same relation to the 
conjunctive of the interrogative mode as the ordinary participial 
does to the ordinary conjunctive mode. Now it is perfectly obvious 
2? This is an old, probably proto-Algonquian, anomaly, for it occurs also in Cree, Ojibwa, and Algonquin, 
as can be seen from the works of Lacombe, Baraga, and Cuoq.
