'"" NOTES. 



Of the two paragraphs of ''Eeflections" submitted, the first refers to the loss of 

 some hunter's arrows, which had been loaned to somebody together with the bow. 

 The second speaks in a rather egotistical sense of the pleasure which is afforded by 

 succoring helpless and indigent people. 



136, 3. ka'gi. This refers to some arrows, which cannot be found at the spot, to 

 which they seemed to fly. 



136, 4. 5. Uutchek, abbreviated undse, u'ntch, unds, fins, points to some undeter- 

 mined epoch in the future: by and by, after a lapse of time, some time from now; 

 uudse't, 136, 8., througli apocope and synizesis, stands for untse'k at ; undse'ks for 

 untchek tchish. 



136, 5. Shikutchipk tchikii kemutsdtk, gTammatlcaUy incomplete forms standing 

 for skikutchipka t'shika kfemutsc^tko. The word stick is not expressed in the text, but 

 the sufiBx ipka, united to shikutcha, expresses the idea of "walking while leaning 

 oneself upon something or somebody". Cf. layipka, to point the gun at the one 

 speaking ; tilo'dshipka, to see somebody coming towards oneself. 



136, 6. ki'shtchipka, to step towards the one speaking; cf. Note to 136, 5. 



136, 7. oni'sh for hunish, cf. o'skank for hu'shkauka, 65, 1. Hiinish is the objective 

 case of hu'n; but this pronoun is not regularly used when speaking of animate beings; 

 hu'nkiash would be grammatically correct. 



136, 7. sh^want i. The words oni'sh kiam shewant i are supposed to be directed 

 to one belonging to the speaker's household. 



136, 8. The term katchkal, tobacco, expresses the idea of an intermixture of several 

 kinds of weeds or leaves for the purpose of smoking them. 



136, 8. pa-udpk. A more appropriate term tban this for masticating tobacco is : 

 katchkal kpu'yumna. 



137, 1. titch6wank. This is in fact the participle of a verb : "I like tobacco, being . 

 fond of it." 



137, 2. stoyuapka : 1 shall cut off a piece from a stick of pressed tobacco and give 

 it to him. Cf. stnyAkishka, to clip the hair. 



137, 3. kinkani katchgal. If this and the following were not worded in the con- 

 versational slang, it would read: kinkAnish kdtchgal; kinkanish, kd-i tuma, tche'k pen 

 tiima (or tu'm) etc. 



137, 3. kAi tumi. Indians are not often seen to smoke continuously as we do; those 

 inhabiting the Klamath Eeserve take a few whiffs from their small, often home-made 

 pipe, then pass it to the neighbor and emit the smoke through the nose. Sometimes 

 they swallow the smoke for the purpose of intoxication, and the elder women smoke just 

 like the men. Cigars offered to them are cut small and serve to fill up their tobacco-pipe.
