It must be borne in mind that the sounds of mm, b, and 2 are inter- 
changeable in the [Hidatsa, and that d, 7, n, and 7 are also interchangeable. 
A similar confusion or interchange of these elements is to some extent ap- 
parent in the Dakota and the Tutelo languages. Taking this fact into 
consideration, the similarity or rather identity of such words as mi in Tu- 
telo and zw? in Dakota, meaning ‘‘sun,’’ and loté in Tutelo, dote in Dakota, 
and dote or lote in Hidatsa, meaning ‘‘brain,’’ becomes apparent.
