 parched corn (yôkîg) = N. nuhkik; RW. nokehick Indian corn parched and beaten.

sewing (yō'nâkwāsû') = N. usquontosu he is sewing.

rat (yŏts). Eng. loanword.

this (yû) Abn. yu; N. and RW. yeu. Cf. Pequot you dupkwoh this night; you geesk today.

early morning (yûmbō'wĭ) = yu + mbi or inbi + wi. The root is seen in N. mautompan; RW. mautabon ‘early morning’ and the ending -wi appears in Abn., e. g. spôzowiwi ‘early in the morning.’

again (yû'mbĕwong) = yu + inbi + wong = N. wonk; D. woak ‘and’ ‘repetition.’ See Am. Anth., v, 208. Inbi or mbi may mean ‘time.’

four (yâ'ŭ) = Abn. iaw; N. yau; Stiles yauuh.

yonder (yŭ'kchāwî') = N. yo, ya yonder. Perhaps the first part of the word is cognate with D. ika yonder.

he is hungry; gĕyŏndŭm you are hungry. See.

open, imv. (yŭ'njānŭ'msh). Is this cogn. with N. woshwunnum sqount open the door? This yunjum probably = Abn. tondana open, imv., D. tenktschechen tonquihillen open. In Peq. yunjon = he opens; subjunctive  that he open, not really a subjunctive.

milk (zî'shkŭnŭs), a difficult word. Stiles gives nuzaus a baby, a sucker. This -zaus may be cogn. with zeesh here? Perhaps the word should be nuzeeshkunus with prefixed n? There is no D. cogn. for milk ; they say mellik. In N. milk = sogkodtunk, from sogkodtungash teats.

blue (zî'wŏmbâ'ĭō). In N. see = unripe. Zeewombayoh may mean ‘an unripe white’? I can find no parallel.
