used like OS in Greek and ne in Latin, which has no equivalent in English. Even prepositions take the diminutive termination tcetc. We find amioo almost, (a little removed) becoming amiootc certainly (the least possible removed); another word for almost is sooel, and 'nearly' is translated by ddel and keget, the latter of which means 'exactly' in Otchipwe; the Micmac word for exactly is dnsoond, while wholly or entirely is doonioo. Below is aboondk in general use, but epkwek in ; lamdk is everywhere used for 'within,' yet iktook,also the sign of the dative, is used by many as a synonym for lamdk, while others use megwiik, (in the centre); there is no word to represent 'with', the idea being conveyed by a prefix which is written wit, wid, or wij for euphony, as in witek, 'we sit together,' and wijddeek, we go together; among, oiagio (wajio) is written as a prefix, oiagi or wagi. 'By' or 'by means of is asma and wejuow; 'for' is otcit, 'in' is nalel, 'of is ala; 'through' asisio and sapotio; 'throughout' has also two trans¬ lations, one of which is eli-asisio and the other eligespeak; 'outside' has oskitok, and golcmok, out from a dwelling; the list might be increased, but nothing would be gained, as the words occur in the body of the Dictionary. Conjunctions. Though it is often difficult to decide as to the exact use of words which are on occasion prepositions, adverbs or conjunctions, yet the conjunctions connect words and sentences without modification. 'And' is represented by three words, ( i ) ak, the simple connective; (2) elp rarely stands alone, often following ak as an intensifying particle; (3) skumlok, which balances one phrase or sentence against another; kisna is 'or'; basek except; kadoo but; tciptok if; meta because; meld lest; amoolc though; otcit for; keskemenak unless; tlia and Male, although; tcelmo than, and na that. Interjections. Interjections and exclamatory phrases were not nearly so rare as may be supposed, for the taciturn Micmac unbends before the glow of his fire, and voluble epithets are still used amongst them, even in
