The numeral follows the noun which it qualifies. If the noun termi- 
nates in a vowel not accented, the vowel is usually dropped, while the 
numeral assumes its constuctor or lengthened form, and is sometimes 
closed with a strong aspirate. Thus, from mihdnd, woman, we have mihan 
Nosa or mihah nowsai, one Woman; mihan nombag, two women; mihai lanigq, 
three women, &c. From tgoigo or tgoniki, dog, teotik nosah, one dog; 
tconk nombag, two dogs. From monti, bear, mont nosah, one bear; mont 
nombah, two bears. From nahambi, day, nahdmp noséh, one day, nahamp 
nombat, two days ; nahamp lanig, three days, &e. It will be seen that the 
dropping of the final vowel ofthe noun has the effect of giving a sharper 
sound to the preceding consonant. When the final vowel is accented, no 
change takes place in the noun; thus at, house; att nofisat, one house; att 
nonbat, two houses; ats lanig, three houses, &e. 
No such difference between the simple and the construct forms of the 
numerals appears to exist either in the Dakota or in the Hidatsa. This is 
one evidence, among others, of the greater wealth of inflections which 
characterizes the Tutelo language. 
Pronouns. 
There are in the Tutelo, as in the Dakota, two classes of pronouns, the 
separate pronouns, and the affixed or incorporated pronouns. The former, 
however, are rarely used, except for the purpose of emphasis. In the 
Dakota the separate pronouns are miye or mie, I, néye, or nig, thou or ye, 
tye, or tie, he or they, and whtiye or uikie, we. In the Tutelo, mim sig- 
nifies I or we, yim, thou or ye, im, he or they, which was sometimes 
lengthened to imahese. A still more emphatic form is made with the ter- 
mination sai or sai, giving the sense of ‘‘alone,’’ or rather perhaps
