^ The prefixed particle is doubtless wrong; perhaps read kitsi- , which seems to be an 
allegro vanant of (a) kUah-isi-, kit-dsi, i.e. kitah-, lah- : “that, in order that,” plus isih- : 
“thither, thus,” and (6) kitisi- , i.e. isin- with personal prefix ki-, kit- of second person. 
® The normal forms seem to be nayomaw : “he carries him on back,” nayahtam : “he 
carries it on back,” and, derived from the latter, nayahtsik&w : “he carries on back”; 
but we find also nayohtam, naydhtsikdw. Menomini has nayomdw, nayohiam, but for the 
former also nayahdw.
