And,  proud,  with  skilful  pen,  man's  fate  record  ;

NOTICE. 


The  reader  must  not  expect  to  find  all  the  words  of  the 
English  language  in  this  first  Part  of  the  Otchipwe  Dictio- 
nary, but,  of  course,  only  such  as  can  be  given  in  Otchipwe. 
There  are  thousands  of  technical  expressions  and  scientific 
words  in  English  (and  in  every  other  civilized  language),  for 
which  the  uncultivated  and  unlearned  Indian  languages  have 
no  terms. 

Many  English  words  are  abbreviated  in  the  different  articles 
in  this  Part,  which,  however,  will  be  easily  understood  by  the 
first  word  of  the  article.  For  instance,  in  the  article  "  Abolish", 
you  will  find,  "I  ab.  it";  which  means,  I  abolish  it. — And  so 
on  respectively. 


PREFACE. 


The  celebrated  Lexicographer  Johnson  says  t  "  He  that  un- 
"  dertakes  to  compile  a  Dictionary,  undertakes  that,  which, 
«  if  it  comprehends  the  full  extent  of  his  design,  he  knows  him- 
"self  unable  to  perform.  Yet  his  labors,  though  deficient, 
"  may  be  useful ;  and  with  the  hope  of  this  inferior  praise  he 
«  must  incite  his  activity,  and  solace  his  weariness." 

A  true  saying !  Probatum  est  !  If  anybody  experienced  the 
truth  of  it,  I  did.  _ .  x. 

What  Johnson  says  here,  is  true  even  in  regard  to  Dictiona- 
ries of  civilized  languages ;  but  by  far  more  so  in  regard  to  a 
Dictionary  of  an  Indian  language.  t 

This  is,  to  the  best  of  my  knowledge,  the  first  Dictionary  of 
the  Otehipwe  language  ever  published.  The  compilation  of  it 
has  cost  me  several  years  of  assiduous  labor  ;  and  still  I  must 
acknowledge  that  it  is  yet  very  defective  and  imperfect.  I  con- 
sider it  as  next  to  impossible  to  make  such  a  work  perfect  at 
once,  in  the  first  edition. 

In  order  to  understand  this  Dictionary  and  make  a  practical 
use  of  it,  the  Otohipwu  Gbammar  ought  to  be  first  studied,  es- 
pecially the  Formation  of  Substantives  and  the  Formation  oj 
Verbs ;  because  you  will  find  in  this  Dictionary  only  mme  of 
the /orww^  substantives  and  verbs,  as  examples  after  which  you 
may  form  others  yourself,  according  to  the  Eule*  explained  in 
the  Grammar.  # 

The  pronunciation  of  the  Indian  words  in  thie  Dictionary  is 
the  same  as  explained  in  the  First  Part  of  the  Otehipwe  &ram* 
mar.    Here  is  a  short  extract  of  those  explanations. 


VI 

*  a  is  pronounced  long  or  short  like  a  in  father, 
and  or  hand, 

e  "  "  like  e  in  net. 

i  -e  "  like  i  in  live, 

o  "  "  like  o  in  bone, 

g  cl  "  like  g  in  get. 

j  has  the  French  sound,  as  in  jour,  jolt,  etc. 

The  other  consonants  have  the  English  sound. 
Necessary  Remarks  for  the  proper  use  of  this  Dictionary. 

1.  The  verbs  in  this  Dictionary  are  given  in  the  first  person 
singular  present,  (as  in  Greek  Dictionaries,)  because  there 
is  properly  no  infinite  mood  in  Otchipwe. 

2.  In  the  significations  of  active  verbs  animate,  ordinarily  the 
masculine  gender  only  is  expressed,  and  the  feminine  is  un- 
derstood. As:  Nin  wabama,  I  see  him. — It  means  also,  I 
see  her  ;  but  this  is  understood. 

3.  Verbs  ending  in  endan,  endamawa,  endagos,  etc. ;  may  also 
end  in  enindan,  enindamgwa,  enindagos,  etc.,  which  is 
not  always  expressed  in  this  Dictionary.  F.  i.  Nin  jawen- 
dagos,  or,  nin  jawenindagos,  I  am  happy.  Nokendagwad, 
or,  nokenindagwad,  it  is  soft. 

4.  The  unipersonal  verbs  ending  in  a  vowel,  have  ordinarily 
two  terminations,  but  the  same  signification  in  both  of  them. 
They  end  in  a  vowel,  a,  e,  i,  o,  or  they  add  the  termination, 
magad.  F.  i.  Sogipo,  or  sogipomagad,  it  snows.  Kissina, 
or  kissinamagad,  it  is  cold. — In  this  Dictionary  you  will 
find  the  second  termination  expressed  by  a  dash  and  magad; 
as:  Sogipo,  or-magad,  which  means,  or  sogipomagad.  And 
in  the  participle  you  will  find  a  dash  and  magak ;  as  :  Swa- 
ffipog,  or-magak,  which  means,  or  swagipomagak. 

5.  The  imperative  mood  is  not  always  expressed,  because  it 
can  be  easily  constructed  according  to  the  Paradigms  of  the 
Conjugations  in  the  Grammar.  But  where  the  imperative 
is  difficult  or  irregular,  it  is  ordinarily  expressed  in  this 
Dictionary. 

6.  Many  verbs  that  are  passive  in  their  signification,  are  neuter 
in  their  formation  and  conjugation,  and  therefore  marked 
down  as  neuter  werbs.  F.  i.  Nind  inendagos,  I  am  destined. 
Nin  nondagos,  I  am  heard,  etc. 

7.  To  indicate  the  plural  of  substantives,  only  the  letter  or  let- 

*  In  some  places  in  the  Dictionary,  the  letter  a,  when  long,  is  marked  with  the 
circumflex  accent. 


VII 

ters  are  expressed  that  are  added  to  the  singular  in  Order  to 
form  the  plural;  and  the  dash  before  these  letters  repre- 
sents the  substantive.  As:  Tchiss,  turnip;  pi  .-aw;  which 
means,  tchissan.    Inini,  man ;  pi.wag,  that  is,  ininiwag.  * 

8.  There  are  some  consonants  which  the  Indians  don't  pro- 
nounce distinctly  and  uniformally.  They  very  often  con- 
found the  letters  B  and  P,  D  and  T,  G  and  K.  It  is  often  im- 
possible to  ascertain,  by  the  pronunciation  of  an  Indian, 
whether  the  word  begins  with  a  B  or  P,  with  a  D  or  T,  with 
a  G  or  K.  For  this  reason  please  mind  the  short  Note  you 
will  find  at  the  beginning  of  each  of  these  letters  in  this 
Dictionary.  See  likewise  the  Note  at  the  beginning  of  the 
letters  0  and  W. 

9.  In  regard  to  the  Second  Part,  I  have  to  remark  that  what- 
ever relates  to  a  substantive,  is  to  be  found  under  that  sub- 
stantive. As  :  I  have  large  feet,  I  have  small  feet,  I  have  cold 
feet,  etc.    Look  for  all  that  under  the  substantive  ,(  Foot." 

10.  Mind  the  same  in  regard  to  verbs.  The  adjectives  relating 
to  a  verb  and  modifying  it,  are  to  be  found  under  that  verb. 
As :  I  look  angry ;  I  look  strange,  etc.  This  all  occurs 
under  the  verb  "  Look." 

11.  Sometimes  the  verb  act.  an.  is  followed  by  the  termination  of 
the  inan.    F.  i.  Sagia  (nind)  tton,  that  is  :  nind  sagitton.

meshkawading. 

N.  B. — To  save  time  and  expenses  we  have  thought  not  always  to

ON  THE  NEW  EDITION  OF  THE  ENGLISH    OTCHIPWE 
DICTIONARY. 


1°  Wherever  there  is  a  circumflex  accent  on  a  or  any  other 
vowel,  this  letter  is  pronounced  very  long  and  with  a  certain  em- 
phasis ;  v.  g.  osdgidn,  he  loves  him  ;  dmd,  a  bee.  When  the 
vowels  are  not  accompanied  by  this  sign,  they  are  regarded  as 
short  ;  v.  g.  sagaigan,  a  nail. 

2°  The  indian  words  placed  between  parenthesis  (  )  are  the 
Cree  words  corresponding  to  the  Otchipwe  expressions.  The  Cree 
verbs  are  always  indicated  by  the  3rd.  person  singular  of  the 
Indicative  mood,  while  in  the  Otchipwe  they  are  known  by  the 
1st.  person  singular  ;  v.  g  ,  Otch.,  nind  ina,  I  tell  him  ;  Cree  : 
itew,  he  tells  him.  This  last  idiom  does  not  use  the  sign  of  the 
pronoun  o,  in  the  3rd  person  ;  it  is  included  in  the  verb  or 
rather  in  its  termination. 

3°  The  idea  of  putting  a  certain  number  of  Cree  words  to  cor- 
respond with  Otchipwe  sayings,  is  1st.  to  familiarize  the  people 
of  Manitoba  and  of  the  North-West  with  some  expressions  which, 
although  Cree  by  themselves,  are  employed,  nevertheless,  by 
those  talking  the  Otchipwe  in  this  country  ;  in  the  second  place, 
to  show  to  philologists  some  of  the  comparative  differences 
existing  between  the  roots  of  those  two  sister  languages. 

In  fact,  there  are  no  Indian  dialects  which  present  more  simi- 
tude  than  the  Otchipwe  or  Sauteux  and  the  Cree  which  are 
spoken  by  the  Indians  and  the  Half-breeds  of  the  Province  of 
Manitoba.     The  Otchipwe  language,  which  is  nothing  else,  (with 


—  2  — 

but  few  variations,)  than  the  Algonquin,forms  one  of  the  daughters 
of  the  great  Algic  family,  whose  harangues  were  heard,  in  olden 
times,  on  the  borders  of  the  St.  Lawrence  and  Mississipi  rivers, 
on  the  shores  of  lake  Superior,  and  even  as  far  as  the  immense 
plains  of  the  Red  River.  The  names  of  rivers,  of  lakes  and  of 
diverse  places  in  Otchipwe  or  Cree,  are  still  in  use  to  attest,  in 
future  times,  the  existence  of  these  languages  and  reclaim  their 
rights  to  first  possession.  Obliged  to  disappear  before  the  white 
man,  the  haughty  savage  will  compel  his  invader  to  preserve  these 
first  denominations,  at  the  risk,  however,  of  seeing  them  disfigu- 
red. The  Dominion  of  Canada  in  adjoining  to  her  possessions 
the  new  territories,  is  anxious  to  give  them  Indian  names,  wishing 
undoubtedly,  by  this  attention,  to  spare  the  sensitive  feelings  of 
her  brother. 

As  regards  the  relations  existing  between  the  Otchipwe  and  Cree, 
we  know  beforehand  that  we  shall  please  indianalogists,  by  placing 
under  their  notice,  the  different  resemblances  and'  disparities 
which  characterize  the  two  idioms.  It  is  difficult  to  demonstrate 
the  precise  time  in  which  one  has  been  derived  from  the  other 
and  has  had  its  proper  autonomy  ;  for,  all  the  ancient  Missionaries 
and  the  travellers  in  the  North-West  speak,  in  their  writings,  of 
the  Otchipwe  or  Sauteux,  and  of  the  Crees  or  Kinistineaux. 

Negation. —  In  Otchipwe,  the  negation  is  indicated  by  kawin, 
before  the  verb  with  the  ending  ssi;  while  in  Cree  we  simply 
place  namawiya  or  nama,  as  the  negative  sign  before  the  verb, 
without  changing  the  latter  ;  v.  g.  Otch.  nin  sdgia,  I  love  him  ; 
neg.  kawin  nin  sdgidssi,  I  don't  love  him  ;  Cree  :  ni  sdkihaw,  neg. 
namawiya  ni  sdkihaw.  For  the  participle,  we  say  :  Otch.  wiyd- 
bamdd,  neg.  wiydbamdssik,  he,  not  seeing  him  ;  Cree,  wiydbamdt, 
neg.  eka  wiydbamdt. 

In  these  two  dialects  the  roots  are  almost  always  the  same. 

1°  In  Otch. :  Whenever  (with  very  few  exceptions)  two  conso- 
nants follow  each  other  ;  usually,  the  first  is  changed  into  s,  for 
the  Cree  word,  and  vice  versa.

2°  When  the  Otchipwe  word  begins  by  0,  this  letter  is  some- 
times changed  into  Wain  Cree;  v.  g.  Onishka,he  rises  up;  in 
Cree,  Waniskaw ;  Ottawa,  Watawa. 

3°  Na,  No,  in  Otchipwe,  is  sometimes  changed  into  ya,  yo,  in 
Cree;  v.  g.  notin,  wind,  yotin;  ondgan,  plate,  oydgan ;  onagima, 
he  is  judged  so  much,  oyakimaw. 

4°  For  the  orthography  of  the  Cree-words,  we  have  thought 
proper  to  follow  the  Cree  dictionaries  ;  v.  g.  U,  as  the  french  ou  or 
the  Italian  u;  y,  when  two  syllables  follow  each  other,  as  in  the 
sounds  of  ya}  ye,  yi,  yo. 


(*)  Although  there  is,  usually,  only  one  consonant  in  the  Otchipwe  Dictionary, 
we  here  employ  two  because  the  sound  of  the  double  consonant  undoubtedly  exists 
in  the  pronunciation.

ETYMOLOGY 

of  a  few  Indian  names  by  which  are  designated  certain  tribes  and 
localities,  but  whose  true  pronunciation  and  orthography  have 
been  disfigured  by7  the  Whites  who  did  not  understand  these 
words. 

We  here  put  the  word  as  it  is  written  and  incorrectly  pronoun- 
ced in  the  country,  and  afterwards,  its  true  orthography  with  the 
etymology  given  by  many  persons  competent  in  this  matter.  It 
should  be  kept  in  mind  that  all  these  names,  which,  at  the  pre- 
sent time,  designate  towns,  rivers,  lakes,  etc.,  have  been  thus 
disfigured  by  voyageurs,  who  pronounced  them  according  to  the 
best  of  their  knowledge,  without  giving  a  thought  that  thereby  they 
were  destroying  words  and  rendering  them  incomprehensible,  in 
spite  of  the  reclamations  of  Indianologists  who  were  anxious  to 
preserve  the  true  pronunciation  ;  but  usage  has  prevailed,  as  is 
still  the  case  in  our  days. 

ABfiNAKIS,  (Otchipwe),  means,  "  land  of  the  East."  It  must 
come  from  waban,  it  is  day-break,  and,  aki,  or,  better,  akki,

rises. 

ABITIBI,  (Cree),  means,  intermediate  water,  from  the  root,  abit, 
middle,  half,  and  nipiy,  water,  which  makes  ipi,  in  composi- 
tion, whence  abitipi,  water  at  half  distance.  The  name  of  this 
lake  comes  from  its  position  at  the  level  of  the  land,  between

thing on  stones,  because  it  appears  that  those  Indians  used  to 
cook  their  meat  on  red-hot  stones. 

ACHIGAN,  (Cree),  from  Mmashigan,  fish  of  this  species,  that 
the  Whites  have  named  from  the  word  achigan,  or  rather

bably found  Cacouna.

tage.

name.

A 

A— This  first  letter  of  the  Al- 
phabet has  principally  two 
sounds,  that  is  one  long  and 
the  other  short.  We  ihiow 
when  this  first  letter  or  the 
syllable  with  A,  in  the  begin- 
ning of  a  word,  is  long  or 
short,  according  to  the  way 
the  change  is  formed;  v. g.  Nind 
abawa  ;  here  the  first  letter 
A  is  long,  because  at  the  par- 
ticiple, you  have  to  say :  aya- 
bawad—Nind  agona  /  here  on 
contrary  the  first  A  is  short, 
because  you  say  for  the  par- 
ticiple :  egonad ;  see  the  rule 
of  the  Grammar. 

A — This  letter  is  sometimes  in- 
serted in  verbs  which  signify 
repetition  or  changing  of 
place;  as  :  Bapa-aija,  he  goes 
from  one  place  to  another  ; 
instead  of  baba-ija. — Anotch 
ainapinewag,  they  have  dif- 
ferent and  frequent  diseases  ; 
instead  of  anotch  inapinewag. 
Anotch  ainassin  nabikwan; 
enendang  sa  wedaked  od  aini- 
kwean  ;  the  vessel  goes  in 
different  directions  ;  where- 
ver the  steersman  pleases  he 
steers  it. — When  the  verb  to 
which  a  is  prefixed,  begins 
with  an  a,  the  letter  i  is  in- 
serted between  the  two  a ;  as :
