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,
