VOCABULARIES 



FOR the accuracy of the words in the following Vocabularies we 

 have to rely upon the knowledge of the Indians or interpreters from 

 whom we received them, having carefully noted them down on the 

 spot, as they appeared to be pronounced. I have much pleasure in 

 acknowledging the ready and important aid which I received from 

 Mr. John Dougherty, at present Deputy Indian Agent for the Mis- 

 souri ; indeed, the Omawhaw, Shoshone and Upsaroka vocabularies 

 are chiefly set down agreeably to his pronunciation. 



The philologist will observe, that in these vocabularies, the guttu- 

 ral sound is indicated by a f, a nasal sound by an *, and a ^ accom- 

 panying the letter j, shows that the French sound of that letter must 



be given to it.
