 I see (nĕ-nā'můñ). This really means ‘I see him.’ Cf. nawah and Abn. n’namiô I see him; Pass. n’nim'io; N. nâum; RW. kunnunnous I saw you. The form nawah, q. v., is probably a by-form of this stem. The m seems to be inherent in Algonquian dialects of the eastern coast. Cf. also D. nemen. The form nĕkŏnŭm ‘I see’ looks suspiciously like the demonstrative ne + kenaum, 2d pers.?

he dies (nŭpâ') = Abn. nebowi, n’bowôgan death. Cf. N. nuppuwonk death and nuppu he dies.

my daughter (nötönîs) = N. wut-taun-oh his daughter; Oj. nin-daniss; Abn. nd-osa ‘my daughter’ is clearly a distant cognate from the same stem.

I desire, want (nĕ-nĭtŭ'n) = N. kodtantum he desires.

seven (nî'zŭ'sh). Stiles has nezzaugnsk; N. nesausuk tahshe; D. nischasch. It looks as if nezush were a Mohican form, owing to the D. nischasch which it resembles more closely than the N. E. forms. The Narr. had another stem to denote this numeral, i. e. enada seven.

my brother (nĭchî'). Brothertown word = Abn. nijia my brother.

inan. pl. ‘those’ (nîsh), pl. of ne that, q. v. The N. has ne, pl. inan. nish.

in the following compounds = the word given by Stiles as naubut and has the meaning of multiplying and also of adding: twenty (nābnîbâ'ĭog); Stiles piugg naubut piugg ten + ten; see. nineteen; see. thirteen; see. eighteen; see. sixteen; see. twelve; see. fifteen; see. eleven; see. seventeen; see. fourteen; see. twenty-nine; note the double ne; I do not understand these forms; see. twenty-three; see. twenty-eight; see. twenty-six; see. twenty-two; see. twenty-five; see. twenty- one; see. twenty-seven; see. twenty-four; see.

I know (nĕ-nā'wā) = N. waheau he knows, nuwateo I know. See [https://archive.org/details/natickdictionary0000trum/page/285/mode/1up ND. 285]. Cf. Abn. n’wawawinôwô I know him. See.

not enough (nû'dāshā) is perhaps equivalent to N. noadt afar off = Abn. nôwat?
