this wood. ie’ner buffalo; ict that with which; e'br kill.

* «The sounds of the ’Tinné language can scarcely be expressed by the English alphabet, and several of them 
are absolutely unpronounceable by an Englishman. In my attempts to form a vocabulary, I had great difficulty 
in distinguishing several words from one another which had dissimilar sounds to the native ear, and were widely 
different in their signification. A Dog-rib or Athabascan appears, to one unaccustomed to hear the language, to 
be stuttering. [§551.] Some of the sounds must have a strong resemblance to the Hottentot cluck, and palatal 
and guttural syllables abound in the language. Vocabularies of this tongue cannot be greatly depended upon, as 
no two people will agree on the orthography.”’—Richardson, Arctic Searching Expedition, chap. xiii. 
+ This word cannot be spelt with the English alphabet, although every element is English, the vowel being that 
of odd, as in Kansa (~cd'n20.)
