" This interesting word gives us tiie Mohegan-Pequot form of the uiiivers;il Algonkiari designation for 

 human being. 



"^ At Mohegan, among many English loan words, the Indians adopted corruptions of the English names 

 of the days of the week, viz, Ma'ndaia, Du'zata, H a'nsata, Do'zrta, Bi'ai'ta, Zo'tota, Sa'nta. 



'* It may be interesting to note that this verb in Penobscot (tcuwi's) is used only in address to dogs. 



" The meaning of this word was never definitely ascertained. One might take it, however, to be a 

 derivation of the English verb " to shovel " (Mohegan has no v or /) with Algonkian an; yet it is probably 

 pure Indian and related to Natick (Massachusetts) chippinum, "he separates it, puts it apart," "clears 

 it," in other words.
