1 The natives were probably asking for "clothes" 

 by saying "we are cold." 



2 Yahgan for cold is taruri, tarourou (Hyades, 

 q, 266), tor-ri (Bove), tharri (Eizaguirre), ieri (No- 

 guera). 



3 -tela: cf. tali just above in Bo. The Yahgan for 

 come here is akoum (Hyades, g, 266), a-cum (Bove), 

 acumaTirCaia (Eizaguirre). 



* This sounds suspiciously like the Yahgan 

 yamasckuna (=be generous!), the usual greeting 

 formerly of the Yahgan to the European visitor. 



6Cf. kapok, kapo ( = mussel shell). The native 

 knife was made usually with a shell blade. Dr. 

 Hyades (q, 309) gives akoupou as Yahgan for cut. 



« Yaligan for dive is gouleni (Hyades, q, 296, 266), 

 gul-heni (Bove). 



' A Tehuelche-Ona word (Lehmami-Nitsche, d, 

 249). The Alaealuf probably acquired it in bar- 

 tering for meat with their land neighbors. 



8 Perhaps related to ouayekharh' (= canoe). 



' Yahgan for porpoise is Qaouianoukh (Hyades 

 g, 268), sa-ui-jannuck or sa-ui-iaumuck (Bove).
