346 AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A FOX WOMAN. [BTH. ANN. 40, 
ka‘cki’/mi'kapa (326.40; potential) “you might have persuaded me,” 
a‘teimi'kap** (324.44) “you would have reported me,” tcinawiimi’- 
yigapl*'] (336.7; potential) “you might be related to them,” 
wapami’yigapa (324.10; potential) ‘you might look at them,” ne- 
‘ciwana “teil yagani (302.24; potential) ‘you might ruin them,”’ teage- 
‘cka'kitte®* (306.4; potential) ‘they (inan.) might all come off,” awita 
ka‘cki‘ane‘kwigi'kago"“* (316.20-21; potential subjunctive) ‘we 
should not be able to branch out.”’ Furthermore, all terminations 
in -‘kitci should be changed to -'kitce (in Jones’s transcription). 
§ 32. No transitive forms are given in the sketch; see, however, 
the Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences, iv, pp. 406-408. 
Examples occurring in the Indian text are é‘ina ina “tcimo' enugwin"™ 
(324.18) “whatever she said to you from time to time,” nandtinemeno- 
wagwin"' (324.41) “hewas wrong in what he thought of us (inclusive) .”’ 
No participial forms are mentioned in the sketch; but see the Journal 
of the Washington Academy of Sciences, iv, pp. 408, 409. Examples 
in the Indian text are wi unapimi’waniina (310.2) ‘whomever you 
shall take as your husband,’ ami'cimenwawigwiin™’ (324.11) ‘whoever 
would contrive to behave well,’ wiwi‘tcawiwawatin™ (334.7) 
“‘whomever you shall live with (i. e., marry).”’ 
§ 33. The forms given in the table on page 829 are really obviatives. 
Other obviatives likewise exist, though not treated in the sketch, 
e. g., wi’tcawiwo’magini (314.18) “the one with whom I lived” [i. e., 
husband, in the present instance; could be wife]. The -m- clearly is 
the same element found in conjunctive and subjunctive of the 
indefinite passive when obviatives are the subjects. 
§ 34. The obviative singular and plural of animate nouns should be 
given as -Ani and -a‘i respectively, as shown by all Fox texts published 
thus far. 
It should be said that -ama- is nothing but a phonetic transfor- 
mation of -Amaw- before certain consonants; see page 616. Examples 
of -Ama- are to be found at 310.28, 330.2. 
The anomalous formation -Am6'‘1- (see Bull. 72, Bur. Amer. Ethn., 
p- 69) occurs at 324.27. 
§ 35. It should have been mentioned that inanimate verbs have 
obviatives though inanimate nouns do not. Examples are: wigAniwi 
(298.15) “it tastes well,” a'cimenwi’genig*® (306.8) ‘‘as was good,” 
i‘po'si/megu'sa‘saga’nigini (330.44) ‘where the brush is very thick.”’ 
§ 39. It may be remarked that -‘tati'so-, -"tatisu are nothing more 
than phonetic transformations of -taw- -ti'so-, -“taw- -ti'su respec- 
tively; examples are to be found at 300.22, 302.2-3. 
§ 41. In Bulletin 72, page 69, I have spoken of the passive in -a‘so-. 
An example in the Indian text contained in the present volume is 
a‘pi teitepana'sut** (320.31) “he that is loved as much as.”
