SOME LINGUISTIC NOTES ON THE INDIAN TEXT. 
The Fox text in this paper contains scarcely any grammatical noy- 
elties, though it does contain some of the peculiar constructions I 
have treated elsewhere. So I confine myself to a few of the more 
interesting points. 
Obviatives of participials.—There are a number of obviatives of par- 
ticipials in the Indian text: nimi/ni‘tei', 514.2; aiwi’nittei'!, 518.23; 
ki‘ kinawatapi/nittcii, 522.24; pimike'tapi/nittcii, 524.40—41; 
pamike'kinawatapi/ni"tei'("), 536.9-10;  piimipitigawa’wa“tci'("), 
536.10; maimatoma’wa%tcl''’, 514.23. 
Participial of the interrogative mode.—As I have stated before, these 
are very rare. An example in the text is wi Anemimime'kwine- 
tamugwiina, 508.8; another is nimi ka’mugwiina, 512.34—35. 
Obviative of the conjunctive of the interrogative mode.—An example is 
i‘ku‘kinetaminigwan(i), 524.37. Obviously -aminigwini corresponds 
closely in formation to -amini*tci of the obviative of the conjunctive 
mode. 
Participial of the indefinite passive-—The apparent participial of the 
indefinite passive, in -atina discussed by me above, pages 284, 285, 
occurs in this text: anatina, 512.38. 
Obviative of the independent mode.—Such forms are apparently rather 
rare. An example of the animate plural is wii citi &é/niwa'‘l, 532.24. 
Independent mode, third person animate plural, intransitive—An ap- 
parent anomaly is ine‘ kwa’‘cindg*"’, 536.12-13. The fact that -wag'* 
occurs after a consonant is responsible for the apparent irregularity 
which, as a matter of fact, is quite in accord with what we should 
expect, for the combination -wa- between consonants is almost 
invariably contracted to -6- in Fox. 
The forms d‘nato’ta'swa"tci, 512.11, and a‘cinato’ta‘se‘ki, 536.3, 
etc., present the same peculiarities discussed by me above, page 495. 
The word ki cikwa‘ckwa'ckwina'siginite'e ‘after they have made 
(the food) boil,’ 512.3-4, is peculiar in construction; the stems ki‘ci- 
and kwa‘ckwi- are clear enough; see the list of stems, page 616 et seq. 
The words kwa‘ckwina‘so’wa it (animate, a deer, for example) boils, 
and kwa‘ckwinatiwi it (inanimate) boils, are certainly passives in 
-A'so- (animate) -ati- inanimate. Therefore it seems clear that the 
auxiliary -igi- is combined with kwa'ckwina'so- making kwa‘ckwina- 
‘sigii-. 
The word ki'wittcime'to'sinenimene “TI shall live with you” is 
rather singular in construction. Clearly the word me’‘to’sineniwa
