From the foregoing examples it is evident that the system of transitions 
in the Tutelo is as complete as in the Dakota and Hidatsa. But there are 
apparently some peculiar euphonic changes, and some of the pronouns are 
indicated by terminal inflections, particularly in the second person plural 
and in the third person singular and plural, 
In the Tutelo, as in the Dakota and Hidatsa, substantives and adjectives 
are readily converted into neuter verbs by the addition or insertion of the 
pronouns and the verbal suffixes. It is in this manner that these languages, 
like other Indian tongues, are generally enabled to dispense with the use 
of the substantive verb. Thus in the Dakota witgagta, man, by inserting 
the pronoun ma, I, becomes wimatgagta or witgamagta, Lam aman, and_by 
inserting w% (we) and adding the plural affix pz, becomes wiuh’gagtapi, we 
are men. $o also wagle, good, becomes mawagte, I am good, urwugtept, we 
are good, 
In the Tutelo the word wahtdika, or wahtakai, man, is inflected as follows : 
wamihtakat, Tam aman, 
waythiakat, thou art a man, 
wahtakat, he is a man. 
miwamihlakat, we are men. 
inwahlavat, ye are men. 
hukwahtakai, they are men. 
The Jast two forms appear not to be regular, and may have been given 
by mistake. ikwahtakai probably means ‘‘all are men,”’ 
This verb may take the aorist form, as: 
wamihtakadwa, I am (or was) & man, 
wayihtakdwa, thou art (or wast)''a man.’ 
wahtakadwa, he is (or was) aman, &e. 
So the adjective U%, good, becomes, with the aorist affix wa, léwa, he is 
(or was) good; yimbiwa, thou art good; mimliwa, I am good. In the
