The orthography in these Alaska forms seems distinctly to 

 indicate that we have to do with an unvoiced, aspirated [Я] 

 before the uvular consonant. 



Still another word where 1 find the same conditions 

 [rX — Xr] is : 



Gr. amerXartut many — SWAl. amthlertut (Barnum g 798i 



NAl. has amadràktu as before madro, and NAl. ama- 

 drânmût when there was plenty, corresponding to Gr. [amer/,'ä- 

 m-ät]. The word is not found in the Labrador language, at all 

 events, not in the dictionary. 



As for the other words, which contain a labial, I can 

 give the following parallels: 

 [wX — Xw] Gr. i"'X-it — M. illuit — NAl. Huit — NW Al. гГюе 



SWAl. i2)it or ïlch^pit thou 

 [ws — S(p\ Gr. i'^s-aq the other day — NAl. isfa — SWAl. 



ёскеЪюак [itsi(p'ak]? formerly. 



Also dv.quX'arterpcv (lifts it up in the air; lays or hangs it 

 higher up) seems to be connected with SWAl. kulvara'ka (I put 

 it up high) and can have come of a form *qu"'X-. If this is the 

 case, then it is also probable that the above mentioned word 

 Gr. qaX-eq — L. kagver- is to be connected with SWAl. kal- 

 väqHäkä (I lower it), kalvag^yäräk (the outer approach or entrance 

 to a native house), kalväqHöä (I enter a house), so that the ori- 

 ginal form seems to have been *qawleq; but the meanings have 

 become far removed from each other in the two dialects. 



Hitherto I have taken up only such cases where Green- 

 landic and the Labrador dialect apparently have gone separate 

 ways. In all of them, it has been a question of the existence 

 or non-existence of an / (or s) in connection with an uvular or
