ASIATIC TRIBES OF NOKTH AMERICA. 187 



agwat is oohuwa, boat ; rinaka and iegniha are ronwaye and 

 aqueianha, boy ; aghynah is eghnisera, day ; nutenut, nunn, are 

 ononentsia, neujah, earth ; atta^ annak and illiguin are a<a, hanec and 

 lahkeni, father ; annak is yoneks, fire; gitkat is atchita, foot ; kaaguk 

 is kowa, great; nujak is onuchquira, hair; khigan, kihiguin are 

 kiunyage, heaven, sky; gailigen is kelanquaw, moon; anaA: is aneheh, 

 m.oiJh.QX ; ekigin is agwaghsene, mouth; chynga is yuungah, nose; 

 A;i'w^ is joke, kaihyoehakouk, river ; anighu is ouniyeghte, snow ; gutuk 

 is otoatseh, tooth; w<wi is oho/ee, tree ; moA; and nouna are ohneka and 

 nekahnoos, water ; aganak is ekening, woman ; aci^ is osae, young ; 

 ainhanka is eniage, eninya, finger ; unako is eniorhene, to-morrow ; 

 kanujak is kanadzia, copper; and ^wZ^e is oyelih, ten. In some of 

 these words, the increment of which I have spoken, will be observed. 

 Thus, aghynak becomes eghnis-era ; nujak is lengthened to onuchqui- 

 ra, anighu to ouniyegh-^e ; unako, the Choctaw onaha, to-morrow, 

 takes an interpolated r, which is probably a mere strengthening of 

 the vowel a, and adds ne, eniorhe-«e. The strength of the Iroquois 

 words comes out well in the Japanese and Loo-Ohoo. Thus we have 

 kuru, Japanese, karo Mohawk, come ; kurrazzee, Loo-Chob, arochia, 

 Huron, hair; kokurro, Jap., hahioeriacha, Iroquois, heart; atcheeroo, 

 Loo-Choo, otorahaioie, Huron, hot ; korossu, Jap., kerios, Iroquois, 

 kill ; skeeroosa, Loo-Choo, kearagea, Mohawk, white ; teeroo, Loo- 

 Choo, atere, Iroquois, basket. Terms for man, woman and child are 

 fairly represented in this group: — Hito, oioko, Jap., give itaafsin, 

 etschinak, hatgina, man ; tackki and iiinago, Loo-Choo, give 

 o/at^ai and 3/o«^u'e, woman; ^oc/oma, Jap., is kotonia^ and wocka, 

 Loo-Choo, woccanoune, child. The AinOj which fm-nishes in its 

 ethnic term for man, an equivalent to aineehau, eniha, in zia sister 

 adds the original of the Iroquois tsika, akzia. Its oondee, arm, is the 

 Iroquois aonuntsa ; cahani, boat, is gahonhwa ; kounetsou, moon, 

 kanotcghquaw and eghinda ; wakha, water, auioenh ; askippi, finger, 

 oosookway ; and o, yes, io. The Kamtchatdale is also fairly repre- 

 sented in Iroquois. Its form for axe, koisqva, is the nearest I know 

 to the Iroquois askwechra ; ,adkang, bad, is the Iroquois hetken ; 

 ktshidzshi, brother, finds its analogues in yatsi, atsika ; koqunsitch, 

 come, in kats ; kossa, dog, in cheeth ; kwatshquikotsh, see, in afkahtos; 

 quaagh, face, in ookahsah ; chtshitshoo, girl, inyaweetseutho, caiddizni ; 

 settoo, hand, in chotta ; kisut, house, in ganasote ; koschoo, sister, in 

 akchiha, &c. The Iroquois thix'd personal pronoun ra, re is the
