" This is the odIv time this word appears and I have no translation for it. Its resemblance to St. Francis 

 Abenaki nada'wnvi' "scarcely, rarely" {-wiii' adverbial termination), induces me to consider it a possible 

 cognate. 



« This is Muddy Cove, on the Thames near Gale's Ferry. Mrs. Fielding often walked there for her mail 

 and provisions. The locality was a favorite of hers. Its name is from hasag " mud." 



M Mrs. Fielding might have used the Mohegan word moi'gu had she wished. This interesting word is 

 evidently related to Delaware (^lunsee) malliku, "sorcerer." 



" The subject of this verb is an impersonal plural, though the singular pronoun is used. 



" drbj- is probably a corruption of English "devil." 



^ A word whose analysis is very perplexing. 



" This term refers to the old Indian huts of colonial times, many cellars of which are still to be discerned 

 among the hills of Mohegan. The analysis of the word is quite impossible from existing sources, nor do 

 Professor Prince's strenuous guesses (.\merican .4nthropologist, vol. 6, 1904, pp. 29-30) help us very much. 

 He thinks it might be derived from the root in chokguog (.\atick) "Englishman," literally "knife man." 

 It might just as likely have come from Mohegan-Pequot, djakwi-' mo "it is hurried." and mean "hasty 

 house." It may, however, mean "bark-house" and compare with Delaware yoka'wun, "bark-house." 



" Moheganized "cheese" is interestin_^ phonetically because it shows conformation of loan words to 

 native phonology in final surds, -cs. 



M The consonant of this preposition has two variants, g and dj (ma'gt, wadjv). k similar case, ka'gv, 

 ka'djv. leads Professor Prince to think that some dialect forms are merged in .Mohegan. This is not at all 

 unlikely judging from what we have already shown of the composite nature of the tribe's population.
