I take dj to be unvoiced [ts or something like that) similarly 

 to the Labrador (;, iy, pj. 



In the second place, there are many nouns in the Baffin 

 language, in which the final §, A-, t are nasalized, so that these 

 words always — or almost always — end in i^? Ч or n. This 

 is known only as an occasional phenomenon in West Green- 

 landic and in the Labrador dialect. In addition to the above 

 examples, I shall give the following: 



Bf. kapun — Gr. hapu't lance 



» ipun — » iput I) 



') angun — » aiiu't oar used in the umiak in EGr. and В., 



but in WGr. a loose oar to steer or back water with 



» inung — Gr. inuk human being 



•) saving — » sawik knife; iron 



') telirbing — ■ talerpik В. the handle on a harpoon-line. 



Gr. the right hand or arm 

 « itirbing — о -<fik B. the beam from the hole to the 



stern in a kajak (Gr. iser^ik?) 



» nigirn[-'/i?] — I) niqeq southeast wind 

 « aqsardnirn — » ars-arn-eq land breeze 

 •I qudlirn — I) quÅ'eq a lamp 



B. immg maqong tikitong aipa mirqosailing aipa kapiteling 

 Gr. inu'k markiik Ukit'uk dya merqu'salik d'p'a kapitalik 

 Translation : Two men are coming, one with a double jacket (Gr. a 



woolen jacket), the other with a foxskin jacket (Gr. kajak jacket). 



Boas, С Esk. p. 621. 



In addition to these forms there also seem to occur forms 

 ending in the unnasalized stopped consonants: 



Bf. anngoaq — Gr. wrnuaq an amulet 



Bf. aqa-q no; aqa-qpoq says no — EG. e'qe no 



So it is difficult to decide in how great a degree this 

 feature characterizes the dialect, if it is due to an old tradition
