LANGUAGE OF THE MISSISSAGUAS OF SCUG06 215 



•onomatopoeic origin. To this category belong most probably : — shi- 

 ship (duck), kokosh (pig), papi, (laugh), kokoko (owl), kakaki (raven) 

 and perhaps a few others. The change that has taken place in the 

 ■vocabulary, judging from a comparison with the " Old Algonkin of 

 La Hontan," and a Ms. vocabulary of Mississagua (1805), does not 

 seem extensive, e.g.: 



1805 makwa, amik, chichip, wikiouam, pouacan, chipi, cema, nipi, etc. 



(bear) {beaver} (duck) (house) (pipe) (river) (tobacco) (water). 

 1888 mukwa, amik, skiship, wikiwam, poagan, sipi, sema, nipi, etc. 

 1703 , amic, chichib, ouikiouam, poagan, sipin, sema, nipi, etc.
