never occur separated from the pronoun termination; this may be ex¬ plained by saying that in common conversation the ideas are never separated. Numerals. The Numerals are almost identical with those used by the Maliseets, and closely resemble Otchipwe numerals; one is naookt in Micmac and newkt, as given by Montague Chamberlain in Maliseet. One section of the Otchipwe tribe uses ningo or ninko, and another bashik, for the first numeral, the former word resembling naookt, and the latter banook which is the name given by the Micmacs to the first lake on a river. It is worthy of note that those sections of the Otchipwe tribe which do not now use ningo for 'one,' still use a com¬ pound of the word ningotwasswi for six, the first finger of the new hand,—for counting was done on the fingers and toes, as with our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, who made a 'score' on the beam after each twenty toes and fingers had been enumerated and they began over again or on a new man. Notice too that the Eskimo always began the new score by counting the digits on a new man, as their word for 'a score,' twenty, is the same as their word for man; and picture five men standing up in a line to represent a hundred. The numeral 'six,' and the teens,in Micmac differ entirely from thoseof kindred lang¬ uages, while 'five' the last finger on the first hand, is almost identical throughout; it is nan both in Micmac and Maliseet, while it is nanan in Otchipwe and nlanan in Cree. Baraga gives a separate chapter of twenty-three page? to the study of Otchipwe numerals where but a limited space is available for that purpose here.
