Arapaho.—Of the western Algonquian dialects in the United States, that of the Arápohu or Arapaho yields a few instances of the linguistic feature occupying our attention. Here the term for "man," "male," ínen, hinén (plural inén'na), differs from that of "genuine," which is expressed by äthine; e.g., the red flinty maize is the "true corn" (äthine beshkatä) for making hominy. Ahāt, "cottonwood tree," a species of poplar, is also called athina, or the "true tree." In the arid region the cottonwood is frequently the only tree to be found, hence ahāt came to mean also tree in general. Häthina tö-uktheíhi is "sheriff," lit. "true or real policeman," the latter vocable meaning properly "person tier." Some western tribes designate the bison by a term signifying "real bull or beef." The term for "man" has probably named also the Arapaho tribe, for hinána or innána inén is "an Arapaho man"; innána issē, "an Arapaho woman."
IROQUOIAN
Mohawk.—The language of the Iroquois of New York comprises six dialects: one of these, the Mohawk, was transferred to Canada and is now spoken at Brantford on Thames river, Ontario, and at Caughnawaga on the St Lawrence, in Quebec. In Mohawk the term ónwe, "true," corresponds to the léni and inin of Algonquian dialects, but it also includes permanence, stability, perpetuity, immutability, and is used adverbially as well. Thus we have ónkwe ónwe, "true man," which signifies "Indian" as well as "Iroquois Indian"; ohasera ónwe, "common candle," as distinguished from ohaserato kénti, "ceremonial or church candle"; kanatarok ónwe, "true bread," i.e., that made by Indians; Onserónni ónwe, "Frenchman proper," "native of France"; Tíorhensáka ónwe, "native Englishman."
KIOWAN
Kiowa.—These Indians do not use a special word to express "real," " principal," or "true," but they append a suffix, -hi (nasalized hiⁿ), for the purpose, according to Mr Mooney. For
