SOME LINGUISTIC NOTES ON THE INDIAN TEXTS. 
The following grammatical notes are given as an aid to the com- 
prehension of the Indian texts contained in this paper. For such 
changes as aw to & ando see page 616. Such contractions as iya’ for 
Tya‘i (see 382.3) and a/‘ketu*tci for ai ketu“tci (see 382.34) are quite 
common, but the uncontracted forms occur as well. If thislast point is 
kept in mind it will greatly facilitate the consulting of the list of stems. 
The paragraphs referred to in the following are those of the Algon- 
quian sketch in the Handbook of American Indian Languages, Bull. 
40, B. A. E. Consult also Bull. 72, B. A. E., p. 68 et seq., and this 
volume p. 282 et seq., p. 345 et seq., pp. 538, 539, 612 et seq. 
§ 10. At 380.29 kimenwikiwi’taiya‘1 is a contraction of kimenwiki- 
wit** iya'i; at 384.12 ma‘ kwiw is for m™* ikwiw™‘; at 420.35 ni- 
po'i’tana is for nipoit** iIn™*; at 444.20-21 i/nena‘an™ is for inenii‘** 
Thay 
§ 25. At 402.2 and 406.41 an extraordinary form of reduplication 
occurs in which the sign of the reciprocal is reduplicated as if a part 
of the stem: wi iti'i’tiwa%tci, ki'itriti-‘tea‘, respectively. 
§ 33. Observe that d-is used in the case of &’“cawit*’, 434.20, 446.20 
(see 1 cawi-); it is also in one or two other cases. The forms -atcini 
[so in Jones’s transcription], ete., are really obviatives; but there are 
other forms which belong here too. Such are pina*tci‘egu"tci™ at 
476.27-28 and pina*tei ego’wa"tci' at 476.23. These are, of course, 
passives; they are formed by the passive sign and the intransitive end- 
ings. Clearly -‘tciiis an obviative to -“tcigi; but -wa‘tci'i evidently 
is to be connected with -wa‘tci of the conjunctive mode; but it, too, is an 
obviative. 
§ 34. Note the obviative mya‘citi‘é’niwan"', she feels badly, at 
446.17-18. 
§ 41. (a) Examples of the -&'so- -atii- passive (see Bull. 72, B. A. E., 
pp. 69, 79) are sinagiinema‘so’ni‘tcini she by whom [a man] is 
thought hard to get, 448.17; wi'ki'catape’na‘su%te™ he will have been 
taken up, 470.28; ketepi’nema‘s" you are controlled, 488.1; a ke'ka‘a’- 
tiinigi it was determined, 412.22; a%tci'tatéinig when itisremade, 468.11. 
(b) An example of the -gu'si- passive (see Bull. 72, B. A. E., p. 69) 
is wi u%tcika‘ckike kineta’gu'si‘te(i) so that in this way it will be 
known that he . . . 470.25. 
(c) An indefinite passive with the sign -ganiwi- is to be seen in i’ni 
nek amu*teipwawiwi kumaga’niwi‘tc’ for so long he would not be 
invited, 436.35-36; cigwinetaganiwi’ni‘tcini’megu one indeed consid- 
ered to benaught, 448.17-18; aminiinetaga niwi‘tc he would be thought
