NOTES. 
756, 1. nikaci"ga-ma ¢e-ma, the white people. So, in line 12, nikaci®ga ¢ikage 
¢e-ma. - 
756, 11. Four nouns, given without their verbs; a permissible use, but we may 
also use the full expression: ci cage cti wab¢i", ci ja"¢inange cti ab¢i", cl catige-weti" 
cti ab¢i®, ci wajinga-jide cti wab¢i". 
756, 15. Kageha, ¢ikage ama ¢eama, etc. The idea seems to be, “ You white 
people differ among yourselves. All have not the same capacity for improvement ; 
all do not meet with like success. One may lead, the others follow and try to overtake 
him. Do not then expect all of us Indians to do better than you white people.” 
757, 2. uawagiya"-baji-qti ¢anka. A sentence was omitted after this, as it 
contained several contradictory readings which the author could not rectify. 
757, 17. u¢akig¢ai, reciprocal of ug¢a, possessive of u¢a, to tell. 
759, 2. Iyigam¢ai ¢inké i¢ddi¢ai aka, ete. Iniga™¢ai is the object of una‘anki¢é, 
and i¢adi¢ai is the subject of giaxa-baji-na"i. I™¢adi¢ai-ma, understood, is the object
