Mr. Frank La Fléche, an Omaha who was referred to in the Introduction, came 
to Washington in August, 1881, having been appointed to a clerkship in the office of 
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. The collector wished to obtain Mr. La Fléche’s 
assistance in revising the proof-sheets of this volume; but he did not meet with much 
success till over two hundred of the preceding pages were in type. As Mr. La Fléche’s 
corrections and alternative readings are of considerable value, it has been thought best 
to publish them in this Appendix. The parts of the Appendix for which the collector 
is responsible are followed by ‘‘D.” 
ERRATA. 
The following words occur so frequently in the first two hundred pages of the 
texts that a general reference to them will suffice :— : 
25, 3; 80,17; et passim. For “Adita,” read “a¢ija.” 
10,18; et passim. “Atha, yes.” When it means simple assent, read “A™ha™;” 
but when it implies consent, the Omahas say, ‘“A*ha?’.” 
107, 13; et passim. For “a*i¢a-gi,” read ‘‘a"4 i¢a-ga, hand it to me;” frum the 
verb, ‘i i¢6.” 
9,7; et passim. For “‘Abae,” read “abae.” 
52, 4; et passim. Translate “¢é¢a-biama,” by ‘sent off, they say.” 
18, 10; 229, 7; et passim. For “¢6 te ama,” read “¢e té ama.” 
148, 2; 211, 16; et passim. For ‘“6¢6,” indeed, read “ é¢e.”—D. 
111, 16; et passim. For “éyii té/di,” read “‘e ii té/di.” 
10, 3; et passim. For “gan’ki,” read “ gan’yi,” from “ga"” and “yi.” 
9, 2; 10, 8; et passim. Ha, the masculine oral period, 1s supplied by Mr. La 
Fléche after many imperatives and other clauses. While the collector is familiar with 
this usage, he has good reasons for believing that such a usage is optional with the 
speaker. In like manner, the Dakota oral period “do” is obsolescent. 
35, 9; 36, 1; et passim. For “Hat,” read “Hau.” When “Hau” is not addressed 
to a person, it marks the beginning of « paragraph, in which case the following words 
in the text and interlinear should begin with capitals. See 71, 15.—D. 
16, 1; 16,4; ef passim. For “hégajiqti,” read “hégaji’qti.”—D. 
46, 8; et passim. For “‘i‘u,” read ‘‘iu.” 
57, 9; 210, 16; et passim. For “i i¢a-ga” or “i ¢a-ga,” read “ii i¢a-ga,” from 
“c gi i¢é.” 
80, 4; et passim. For “In/daké,” read “ Hin/daké.” 
24,1; et passim. For “kaii’ge,” read “ yan’/ge;” so for “kan’/géqtci,” read “ yan’ge- 
qtci.”
