630. This version was composed in our presence (we writing it down) by the intelligent 
native chief of the Wyandots, J. M. Armstrong. Wyandot is an Iroquois language, and 
the three first words of the preceding version correspond with the four— 
‘“‘Songwaniha ne karonghyage tighsideron,” 
as given in the Mohawk ‘Common Prayer, London, 1787, p. 53. Zeisberger gives 
garochia as the word for heaven, in the Onondago dialect. No. ** ™ &., have the 
2 
common fh. The o seems to be always nasal, and in number ” it is probably erroneous.

NADACO. 
633. One of the peculiarities of the Nadaco or ‘An-a-dah-has’ has been alluded to in 
$448. Another is the occurrence of the vowel u or v, the Latin consonant v, and the 
allied coalescent ‘v; also, 1, 1,'J,J. We heard a man call a finger-ring nacé“sembe™-ca‘se~,* 
whilst his wife called it nacéssmbetrahase, with an additional syllable ha. See the word 
for finger. The vowel of add occurs here, and a final vowel is often whispered, as in 
eight of the following examples. 
* Although we use (’) for short accented syllables, and (‘) for long ones, the accentual leaning towards the 
co-accented consonant, yet when we use (“) together, as in this place, the syllable is to be considered as made of 
cé’ and not of é’s,—and és might occur also.
