raistól. 
He like the Vejoz hi, thing for, e.g. Fenak, tobáceo ; Fenka-he, pipe. 
Ncit , instrument, as iu ivitákpekasinat, hoe. 
A numbor of substantives and tlio adjectivo “ many ” tenninate 
in the unusual sound of ts, similar to the Vejoz j or s and the Suhin 
sh or ch, e.g. : 
L.-En. Alots ; V. los ; Ch. loj ; S. akloj, many ; compare also 
V. lutsij ; Ch. lojse ; S. lutsish, bovv ; S. yiktech , my grandfather. 
The following examples illustrate the Towothli : 
Ken-hats, friend ; Kohits, hair ; Máts or Mach, eider brother. 
N.B. — The suffix s or ts represents the feminine form in Chiquita, 
and the absolute substantives in general, e.g. Kise-ts ( qnicez ) is “ knife ” 
in Chiquita, evidently the quice of the Guaraní ; and Tamoco-s (dog), 
which in Mojo is Tamucu. J and s as final and infixed (with excep- 
tions) represent the feminine and plural in Vejoz and Choroti ; and in 
the few odd words where the j sound occurs in Lengua-Mascoy as in 
Thlen-áj (red deer) it is also feminine.
