NOTES. 
This is a Dakota myth. 
345, 4. uq¢éeqti, equal here to eca"qti, “very near to (the place where he first at- 
tacked him).” 
345, 11. une akig¢aji i¢adi-aka. If, as Frank La Fléche suspects, this should be 
“une wagaji,” the meaning is, ‘The father commanded them to seek for him.” 
346, 9. ugahanadazéqtia® te. The second syllable was pronounced with considera- 
able emphasis by the narrator. So also was the first syllable of wangi¢éqti, 349, 11. 
347, 17-18. edada® wi? aoni® ¢aeti “-% hé, equivalent to ‘“‘edada® wi" aoni” ke¢ar’ 
4-% hé.” Said by the woman to her husband. 
347, 20. edada®™ ga™¢ai yi abazu igaxe-hna™-biama. A parenthetical phrase, used 
by the narrator in explaining the words of the speaker. 
348, 10. egi¢e itca™qtci waha® a¢a-bikeama. The tribe had no food, and so had 
just removed in order to hunt. : 
348, 13. wet¢é ¢e¢ai, he gazed away towards him, and so discovered him suddenly. 
“Weds ¢e¢é” to gaze in the direction one is going; but “we¢é i¢é,” to gaze back, or 
this way. They refer to looking at distant objects. See wada"be i¢ai, 349, 5. 
348, 16-17. edada® ukit‘é hni® hau. “Hau,” in several places in this myth, shows 
that the voice was raised in speaking to one in the distance. 
349, 6. itc‘age aka dahe yafga ¢a® di ti ¢anka, ete. The old man and his wife 
had come on their way as far as the large hill. Their son looked back from his place 
with the tribe, and saw them. They were in the rear, as the mourners follow the main 
body of the people. 
350, 6. ,e-ma muwahega-baji ama, used when seen by the narrator ; but when other- 
wise, we must say, “ 7é-ma miwahegabaji-biama: ‘ They say that the men killed many 
buffaloes by shooting them.”—Frank La Fléche. 
350, 15-16. On the night that the horse and mule were attacked, the horse was 
wounded by the envious brother-in-law. But the owner healed him by pointing the 
iron at the wound. 
351, 3. usnue-kihaha, a long line of the buffaloes in every direction as they went 
homeward. See “snue,” “kihaha,” etc., in Part IT. 
351, 5. edada™ gaxe ¢inkéya, 7. e., the man who resided underground.
