[w/. — qic] Gr. qгe^'À'e — L. kugve a teai 

 Gr. i^À'it — L. igvit those 



[к' — gw] Gr. quÄ'arterpa- — L. kugvartipa tucks up his trousers 



(so as to be able to wade) 

 Gr. qdk'eq — L. 'kagver- 



The last example is not quite certain, but it is probably 

 in place here. 



Greenlandic qa/zeq means the topmost or outermost part of anything, 

 thence Gr. qd/duwoq, is topmost or outermost, lies on top, 

 qdÅ'erpa, covers it up 



Labr. kagvirpok, he has gone up on a mountain, or clouds have come up, 

 kagvirtipa^ he has covered it. 



That these differences between the two dialects are deeply 

 rooted in the language becomes evident on comparison with 

 the West Eskimo forms of tiiese words, in so far as they 

 are preserved and written down: 



Gr. marXuk — С malpok — M. mållepok — N Al. madro — 

 SWAl. mälrük 



The NAl. form is remarkable, but may perhaps be explained 

 by assuming that it is an awkward attempt to reproduce an 

 indistinctly apprehended [/r]. a sound-group which is very 

 common farther south on the coast of Alaska. — Cf. the 

 following form from the same place (Point lîarrow): 



NAl. adråni anciently, which apparently is to be compared 

 with L. achäne last year [ap'crne], and which, to judge both by 

 the form and the meaning, could be related to the already 

 mentioned Gr. cn-Åa- the other one of two or another of several, 

 in the locativ аг/лп'в. 



Thus it appears from these forms that the West Eskimo 

 words all agree in having h' instead of the ;/ which is found 

 in Greenlandic. The case is the same in the following words:
