^ Probably an error of record; perhaps for kwdsk- : "twisting to one side.” 
® Literally "elk-stone,” but what is it? mosw-asiniy, mosasiniy : "moose-stone” is 
a gun-bullet. 
^ tdhk- is unknown to me; perhaps an error of record for tihtip - : "turning over or 
round,” cf. below. The naedial -tsdskiwak- means "mud, sticky stun.” 
* Translation a guess: cf. ndydw : "promontory.” 
® The first two syllables may be wrongly recorded.
