k may have borrowed material
from some language not I E, but I have found no evidence of it.
Undoubtedly the adoption of prisoners has introduced a considerable
percentage of Algonkin blood. It is also certain that they have adopted

FOOTNOTES:
[Footnote J: A word of this kind used every day by the masses
of all Teutonic people, and corresponding to the principal
languages in such a variety of meanings, could not possibly be
derived from the Latin finitum. Our fine may be in part from
finitum, but fin--I E pin is certainly a Teut word.]
[Footnote K: Words varied by inflection are classed as
different words.]
[Footnote L: Except that in accordance with euphonic laws
initial k becomes ch sixteen times, and final a e seven
times.]
