MICHELSON.] LINGUISTIC NOTES. 613 
is to be found at 604.17: keyé'apaga® wina kici‘a kwamata/minit™ 
now it is a fact that they had been sick. 
§ 41. There are a number of passive formations that may be noted. 
(a) -gu'si- -gwat-: 576.28, 576.31, 580.33. 
(b) -ganiwi-: 606.5. 
(c) Negative of conjunctive mode of the indefinite passive. That 
such forms should occur, of course, is not unexpected; an example of 
the second person singular (-negini) is to be found at 564.29. 
(d) -inamegi: 560.25. 
(e) -igini: 606.24. 
(f) -we'tei: &nema’towe*te™, 578.17 (showing that the explanation 
given by me formerly [Bull. 72, B. A. E., p. 71] is incorrect). 
(g) Extremely indefinite passive; -pi in the third person singular 
of the independent mode, and -gi correspondingly in conjunctive 
mode. Owing to the extremely few forms I have collected of this 
formation (see also above, p. 347), the exact relation of this series to 
that in -4pi remains dubious; in some cases French on with the imper- 
sonal construction closely approximates the meaning. Examples are 
to be found at 560.20, 560.21, 560.22, 570.43, 572.3, 584.19. When a 
““whenever’”’ clause is used, -ni is added to -gi as in the ordinary con- 
junctive. See 560.21. Apparently no nominal subject or agent can 
be used with this construction. 
§ 45. The indefinite possessive pronoun u—ninawi (for the inani- 
mate singular), which I have noted above (pp. 347,348), occurs a 
couple of times in the Indian text, namely, uwiyani/naw™" (554.22) 
and uwiyani/nawi (606.8). 
§ 50. The novel cardinal number ke‘cagane‘siwe nineteen, is to be 
found at 586.40. 
§ 51. The novel ordinal 4'c6’nameg*"’ the first time, occurs at 576.23. 
Modernization.—Throughout the Indian text a number of verbal 
forms with i'- instead of ancient wi'- will be found. 
Anticipatory sentences involving realization.—The Indian text in this 
volume contains a number of anticipatory sentences involving realiza- 
tion. Unfortunately the forms met are confined to the third person 
singular and plural. These are -gwe and -wagwe, respectively. The 
obyiative is -nigwe. Obviously the wa of the last is the same as 
in -wate, -wa'sA, etc. Examples are: pitigimigatenig*”’ before 
it goes in (558.7), mageginenigwe before they are grown up (570.17), 
metipiéne’monig*** before they were completely satisfied in their 
mind (580.10-11), wisenigw(e) before he ate (604.25), uni?tcane'’si- 
wagwe before they had children (558.14). An isolated transitive form 
clearly belongs here, namely, ute'tapa’tamugw(e) before he saw it 
sufficiently to recognize it (568.13). 
Conditional sentences.—There are a number of novel constructions 
that occur in the Indian text contained in this paper that are not 
treated in the Algonquian sketch of the Handbook of American
