THE MOHAWK LANGUAGE. 



From the above table we can readily see that the numerals are 

 combined according to the decimal system of notation, and that in 

 the language of the Six Nations they counted as far as ten, and then 

 began to combine, as ten and one, ten and two, &.G., while in the 

 Delaware language, they counted only as far as five. For, the form 

 Enquitash- 6 is evidently allied to Enquita= 1, and so of Neeshash 



= 7, and Neesha = 2, &c. 



Although there does not appear to be much connection between 

 the Mohawk 0-ye-rih^ 10, and jDe-wah-senh = 20, yet when we come 

 to look at the forms for ten in the other languages with which it is 

 allied, we readily recognize in De-wah-senh the words De-he-nih + 



Wasenh — two-tens.
