 white man (shmō'kĕmŭn). A Brothertown word = Oj. kitchimůkĕmân big knife.

meat (shpŭk). A Brothertown word, with no cognate. All other Algonquian idioms have wias in some form. See.

woman; pl. shquaauwsuk (shkwâ) = N. squaas; C. eshqua; RW. squaws. The forms are undoubtedly connected with the D. ochqueu; Oj. ikwe and Pass. Micmac ēpît. The meaning of the stem was the prepuce. I see in Mohican pghainoom the same stem inverted, which appears also in Abn. pehanum; N. penomp virgin. There is of course no connection between Abn. pehanum and Fr. femme, as Trumbull thought.

a little girl (shkwâsîs) = Narr. squahsees; D. okhquetschitsch.

sharp (shkwŏ'nŭ) = Abn. skuahigen it is sharp. Cf. also N. kēna, kēneh; D. kihneu, kihnsu.

people (shkî'dŭmbâk) = N. woskétomp; RW. skeetomp; Pass. skîtap. The ending -omp, -ap appears as -âpe in D. and as ôba in Abn. See Am. Anth., v, 203.

quick (shkîshu) = Oj. kejidin.

eyes (shkî'zŭks) = N. muskezuk, muskezuk my eye; RW. wuskeesucks his eyes; Stiles skeezucks; Abn. msizukw eye, face.

skunk (shkŭnks) = Josselyn squnck; Abn. segôgw; Oj. shikaug, hence Chicago ‘place of skunks.’ The Pequot of Stiles was ausowush, from a different stem.

head (skĭ'shĕgŭn). Brothertown word. The nearest to this is Oj. oshtigwan his head. The connection is doubtful.

neck (g’sû'jĕpûg). This is really ‘your neck.’ Cf. N. mussittipuk; RW. sitchipuck, wussittipuk his neck, pl. = -anash.

snow falling (zû'tspō and sû'jpō) = Stiles souch’pon; RW. sochepuntch when it snows; Abn. pson with metathesis. See.

I urinate (nĕsû'kĭdŭng) = Abn. ngade-sugi I want to urinate; N. noh sagkeet he who urinates. From the same stem as Abn. sognem he pours out; N. sokinnum.

succotash (sů'ktăsh) = RW. msickquatash corn (pl.) boiled whole; msukquttahhaš things (inan.) beaten to pieces, from sukquttaham he beats.

too much (sû'mî) = N. wussaume; C. wussomme; Abn. uzômi; D. wsami.

I am tired (nĕ-sâ'sŭnĭ) ; also gĕsâ'sŭnĭ 2d pers., and sâ'sŭnĭ 3d pers., Am. Anth., v, 207. Cf. RW. nissowanishkaumen;
