 spoon (gîyŏ'mŏn) = Abn. amkuôn; C. kunnaum, quonnam.

he talks (gîgĕtů'kŭ) = N. kekwtau he talks, keketwkau he speaks well or is fair spoken.

language (gîgĕtů'kĕwŏng) with the regular abstr. ending -wŏng = Abn. ôgan, Pass. -âgun. Cf. N. Indianne unnontwuwaonk, hettuwonk language, from hettuog they talk together.

depart, get out (gŏgĭ) = Abn. kwajek outside; cf. Am. Anth., v, 204. N. pohguaddit outside; RW. puckquatchick.

what (gā'gwŏn) = chawgwan, q. v. Note hard g for j, a frequent occurrence in Pequot-Mohegan.

fallen snow (gûn) = N. kun; D. gûn; but Abn. psôn. See.

I am thirsty (nĕ-gû'ngĕtûn). Cf. N. nukkokutun I thirst.

cock, rooster (gû'ngĕyŏks). I seem to see a cogn. for this strange word in Stiles kohunk a goose? The N. word for ‘cock’ is monshnâmpash. Abn. = ahamô.

, pl. goongerwonch stocking (gûngû, -wānch). Stiles cungowuntch a stocking, but this form is plural. RW. caukoanash leggings, inan. pl.; D. gagun.

a cloudy day (gů'pkwŏd). The last element is - kwod day, seen in all the Algonquian idioms. I find no cognate for gůp-.

take off, imv. (gâ'dŭ'nsh), cogn. with N. kodtinum he draws off.

cow, pl. goshenug (gāsh, -enug). Eng. loanword. Cf. Abn. kaoz.

I sleep (nĕgā'wĭ) = Abn. kawi; D. gaŭwin; N. koueu. See.

big (gŭnk'chî). The k-sound pronounced but not written by Mrs Fielding is interesting, as it shows that this is a reduplication from k’chî big, great (all Algonquian). With gunche, cf. Abn. kwontsî and N. kehshe, in compounds keht, as in Kehtannit the great God.

gentleman (gŭ'ndŭmŏn). Eng. loanword, valuable only as showing the Pequot hard g for j.

young. See.

young man (gŭng-gŭ'mb) is plainly a corruption of a form like N. nunkomp youth, from nunk- light + omp = man; seen in RW. skeetomp; Pass. skitap man. See.

young girl; corr. of N. nunksqua; Abn. nôxkwa.
