OF THE FORMATION OF WORDS.
It is difficult with us to speak the words themselves.--The words odoon, onik, okod, ozid, okun, do not mean respectively, mouth, arm, leg, foot, bone; but his mouth, his arm, his leg, his foot, his bone. By leaving out the letter o we have the words mouth, arm, &c. themselves: thus, doon, nik, kod, zid, kun. The former is the usual way of speaking, the latter is correct.
By the following illustration it will be better understood how words are formed:
my thy or your his Nindj, a hand, nenindj, kenindj, onindj, Nik, an arm, nenik, kenik, onik, Doon, a mouth, nedoon kedoon, odoon, Bid, a tooth, nebid, kebid, owebid, Daih, a heart, nedaih, kedaih, odaih, Kown, a liver, nekown, kekown, okown, Kun, a bone, nekun, kekun, okun, Skunze, a nail, neskunze, keskunze, oskunze, Kod, a leg, nekod, kekod, okod, Bowm, a thigh, nebowm, kebowm, obowm, Dis, a navel, nedis, kedis, odis, Pun, a light, nepun, kepun, opun, Zid, a foot, nezid, kezid, ozid, Yos, flesh, neyos, keyos, oweyos, Yowh, a body, neyowh, keyowh, oweyowh, Oose, father, noose, koose, osun, Gah, mother, negah, kegah, ogeen, Siyahn, brother, nesiyahn, kesiyahn, osiyayun, Shema, sister, neshema, keshema, oshemayun, Tahwug, an ear, netahwug, ketahwug, otahwug.
