No. VII. 
THE LORD'S PRAYER IN THE HOTTENTOT 
LANGUAGE. 
CITA iip ne nanoop na, sa ons anoohe^ sa koop 
Our Father the heaven in, thy name hallowed be^ thy kingdom 
ha, sa ei i hoop ei ne nanoop na koornmi_, cita 
come, thy will he done earth on the heaven in as our 
cecorobe berip mata neci, i cita soorootikoo oobekata 
daily bread give us this day and our debts forgive us 
cita soorooti aukoo citee oobeka koommi^ i ta oowa 
our indebted men we forgive as, and not temptation 
keikata, gawe ooreta eip ga ; o sa ne koop ke, 
lead in us, but deliver us evil from ; for thine the kingdom is, 
i de keip, i de isa i amo. Amen. 
and the power, and the glory in eternity. 
From this it appears that the Hottentot word i is used in 
three difFtrent senses. 1st. for be done — '2d. for and — 3d. 
for in. The word ei is also used for will and on. But they 
distinguish the different senses in which they use such words 
by certain remarkable claps or clacks of the tongue, of which 
it would be very difficult to convey any idea on paper. How- 
ever, were a European fully acquainted with the different kinds 
of claps, clacks, or inarticulate sounds, he might be able to 
reduce them to classes, and invent certain signs for each.
