LIST OF STEMS 
641 
nawi'sa- loose flesh; the exact form of 
the stem is not certain. 330.20. 
na- fetch (-n- -t- instr.; the forms with 
-t- are somewhat irregular, and these 
same irregularities oceur in Ojibwa 
and Cree and so presumably in 
other Algonquian languages). 50.38, 
54.19, 54.20, 54.22 (twice), 56.28,

containing naga- (q. v.) and -dne- 
(q. v.); the medial portion is at

exact phonetic equivalents of nagata- 
wane-, and in both phonetic corre- 
spondents to nagataw- occur in at 
least one additional case. 74.40,
