-migi- meaning ? 156.18, 236.41, 
278.39. 
mi- give (-n- instr.; used also before -ti- 
of the reciprocal). 50.41, 54.17,

308.29 (twice), 384.30, 400.8, 410.42, 
452.19, 510.11, 552.10. 
mi‘ke- be busy with (primary mean- 
ing), flirt with, court (secondary 
meaning); the evidence contained in 
Jones’s grammatical sketch and his 
texts, as well as these, establishes 
mi‘ke- as the true form of the stem; 
see his Fox Texts at 44.21, 46.5, 
142.6, 144.2; with -m- -t- instr.; 
postverbal -4tci-; see mi‘keme- 
‘kwawa-. 68.13, 208.3, 306.10, 
308.43, 326.10, 440.5, 452.4 (twice). 
mi‘keme‘kwawa- woo; a compound in 
origin (see mi‘ke- and -‘kwawi-); 
even though such a composition 
makes the instrumental particle occur 
in a position that is quite contrary 
to the ordinary canons of Algonquian 
philology, nevertheless both Cree and 
Ojibwa have exact equivalents, and 
Cree has a few examples where the 
precise phonetic equivalent of 
~kwawa- occurs in compounds with 
an instrumental particle preceding it.

50.36, 452.18, 554.35.

parently has nearly the same mean- 
ing. 182.28.
