Prepositions.

Prepositions are in some cases inﬂected to denote person, as noodle/é, koode/e and odetck, I, thou and he, behind; before is muskalook, 11011210, kuskalook or 12051? and ooskalos.

‘From’ when not implied in the dative case is represented by a number of inﬂections of the stem wet: (or oetc) as welcéi, I am from, welcéen, thou art from, wettéel, he is from, being declinable through- out. Dr. Rand gives wejadegamk, and Mr. Charles Bernard represents the same sound by spelling it oetjtztegemg in the alphabet adopted by Rev. F. Paciﬁque, in which, sounded in French the if represents t0, and 0e the we of Dr. Rand, while k and g are interchangeable.

The preposition aietck, is often interjected when one is puzzled to think of a name, and Dr. Rand gives it as an exclamation meaning ‘ what do you call it !‘ There is a prepositional particle ed00 or it?
