Hale.] 32 [March 2, 
in regard to the third personal pronoun (which is not expressed) but differs 
from both the other languages, at least in some instances, in the order of 
the pronouns. The nominative affix oc sasionally precedes the objective, 
as in MAYrnewa, I-thee-see. Yet in kohinanvwryahewa, me-thou-struckest 
(where the pronouns are inserted), this order is reversed. The rule on 
which these variations depend was not ascertained, Owing to the diffi- 
culties of an inquiry carried on through the medium of a double translation 
(from English into Cayuga or Onondaga, and from the latter into Tutelo), 
it, was not easy to gain a clear idea of the precise meaning of many of the 
examples which were obtained. An Indian when asked to translate ‘I 
love thee,” or ‘‘thou lovest me,’’ unless he is an educated man, or per- 
fectly familiar with the language in which he is addressed, is apt to become 
perplexed, and to reverse the meaning of the pronouns, The following 
examples, however, will suffice to show that the system of t ‘ransitions exists 
in the Tutelo, though they do not enable us to analyze and reconstruct it 
completely. Many other examples were obtained, but are omitted from 
a doubt of their correctness,
