" Another English loan word, showing similar handling to dji'cs above, comes from the plural "moneys," 

 in^inimate plural or diminutive, as Wabenaki ma'm's. The diminutive here denotes endearment. 



^ A corruption of "meeting-house," church, to own which seemed in her mind to be a sign of worldly 

 success natural in a country community. 



61 Another Mohegan corruption, from vernacular "Injun." 



83 Note the correct proper name in use by the Mohegan, which has been previously discussed in the 

 introduction. 



'* Here also is another native form of the Pequot tribal designation. Mrs. Fielding's plural form was 

 Pi"kutaQ. Having now the correct native form we only lack its translation. 



6' An interesting reminder of the third person inanimate plural, -c, which is a distinctive mark of this 

 group of dialects. 



6s The narrator throughout uses the singular objective pronoun referring to a plural object. 



" Note the sudden insertion of the inanimate plural (-c; which ordinarily should agree with the preceding 

 singular noun tca'gwan " anything."
