 run, imv. (kwā'gkwĭsh) = Stiles koquish; RW. quogquish, quogqueu he runs.

out of doors (kwā'jŭg) = N. po-quadche outside; RW. puckquatchick; Abn. kwajemiwi; Minsee quotschemink.

he will bite you (gŭkwŏ'mŭsh). In Oj. I find nin takwange bite. Is this a cognate? Kwange = quom?

it frightens me (kwôñwîhâĭg) must be cogn. with N. queihtam he fears. The Pequot form should have n-prefix; thus, ne-quon-wehige, to denote the 1st pers.

taste, imv. (kwůtstŭ'msh) = N. quetchtam he tastes. The -p- in Mrs F.’s form is unnecessary. Cf. also in Pequot ne qutshtumun (nĕ-kŭchtŭmŭn) I taste some, with the definite ending -un.

wash yourself, inv. (kŭchîtŭsh) = N. kutchissitau he washes himself; kutchissumwush wash thyself; D. kschieche; Abn. kazebaalômuk one washes.

lice (kŭ'tsŭg). This in N. was yeuhquog. Kuts in N. = a cormorant!

it melts (săbā'shā) = N. sabohteau it melts, from sabae it is soft.

anus (sèbû'd). I find this also in the River Mohican word šepûtî preserved by James Harris of Kent, Conn. It has as its cognate D. saputti.

a little brook (sî'bōî's) = N. sepuese a little river, with dim. ending -eese, is.

brook (sî'bûg). This is really a pl. = rivers. Cf. N. sepuash, inan. pl.; Abn. sibo-al.

feet, inan. pl. (sî'dŭsh and sî'dŭnsh) = N. musseet; Stiles cuszeet thy foot ; Abn. mezid.

come in! (sŭgwĭ'sh). No cognate, unless it is connected with shquond door, entrance, which is probable. See.

I am sorry (nî sîwâ'‘tŭm) = Abn. n’siwa‘tum.

that (shĕnî'). The last element is the demonstr. nî, but I cannot find sh- anywhere.

snake (shkŭk) = N. askuk; RW. askug; Stiles skoogs. Speck found shkook in the mouth of a Poospatuck Indian near Bellport, L.I. Cf. Abn. skog; D. achgook.

bones (shkŭnch), inan. pl. of shkun = N. muskon, pl. muskonash; D. wochgan; Abn. uskan.

door (shkwŭnd) = N. squont, squontam; RW. squontáumuck at the door; D. esquande. Anthony says this means ‘the threshold’; rather than ‘the door.’ This harmonizes with seguish, q. v. The Peq. loc. is shkwŭndâ'g.
