Note on the k Section of Words 
The k being largely used as an auxiliary prefix, pronominal or 
verbal, the roots for the most part must be looked for under other 
initials, consonants or vowels, for comparative purposes in the other 
dialects. In Vejoz, for example, see words in ch, and Lengua-Mascoy 
in y , as touching relationships. There are few verbs of importance, 
but there are many nouns, especially those denoting the ñames of the 
parta of the body oithor of mon, animáis or inanimate tilinga, whose 
Índex letter is k. 
XXIII. The Consonant N 
N. The letters n and t are the great family letters, in gender they may 
vary according to their position and use, but taking the languages 
broadly the t representa the father’s family while the n belongs 
to the mother’s family. The letter l is closely associated with l 
and m with n. The family ñames for the most part circle round 
these letters. Though it cannot be laid down as a rule, the ten- 
deney of the Chaco dialects is thus : 
Father’s family, l, t Mother’s family, to, n 
Males, l Fcmales, t Males, m Females, n 
Eider mombors, i Youngor membors, m, n 
N, (1) prefix to nouns denoting that which is human, belonging to the 
family : ta-kat, his, her chin ; na-kat, human chin. 
(2) article or copula : A-napa ni ivete, I guard the house. 
(3) initial to nouns : ák, íood ; nák, food ; yik, to go ; naiyi, road ; 
V. naiyi j ; S. noish ; T. nákaik ; CH. ap, cry ; náp, song, cry.
