368, 5. qubéyi¢a-bi ¢ithé (Nuda®axa), or qubeki¢a-bi ¢i"hé (Frank La Fleéche), “Be 
sure to make yourselves sacred,” 7. €., by means of the animals that you saw in your 
dreams as you fasted. See i¢aé¢é in the Dictionary. 
369, 6. ateanki¢é tai. Sanssouci gave as the corresponding joiwere, “ate’ehinki 
tanyi ke.” He said that “Ateatki¢e tai” is equal to “T’e juangce tai, Let us die with 
him.” He also gave another yoiwere equivalent for the whole phrase: “Tee nahare 
teéhi® tho, himte’é hitricta"wi ké, Let us kill this one moving along; we have finished 
dying:” i. e., ‘We are bound to die, so let us cause him to die with us.”

and meet him. 
369, 13. Sanssouci read, “Egi¢e ga¢i" ama a™he bacibe wa¢iti té ha Pan/ka ama.” 
He gave the corresponding goiwere, which means, ‘“ Behold, the Ponkas being the 
cause, the Pawnees broke through their ranks and fled, carrying the Ponkas along as 
the pursuers.” He substitutes “ama” for “¢anka,” as the Ponkas were the cause of the 
flight. The fullest expression would be: “Egi¢e Pan/ka ama éwa™i éga", ga¢i" ama 
a“he bacibe wa¢iti té ha Pan/ka ¢an/ka,” answering to the yoiwere. 
369, 14. at ag¢ai, contraction from ama ag¢ai. 
369, 19. e wada"bai te. The Ponkas saw him kill them.
