Peculiar words used by Aliⁿkawahu, one of the oldest Kansas: 16,1 - tciyetaⁿ (see dje and tañga). 17,1. Kakuⁿditaⁿ (see kayudjekaⁿ). 17,2. piedje for pyedje. 17,5. tciyexe for djexe. 17,7. biebase for ṃyebase. 18,4. ḳudjetaha. 18,7. wiehidje for ṃyehidje. 18,10. kukude for kukudje. 19,2. tci-yexeyiⁿ for djexeyiⁿ. 19,10. uⁿhü, a case of hapax legomenon. 20,2. yieku for yegu.; maⁿaṭi for maⁿatci; 20,3. pieyuⁿba for peyuⁿba, 21,5. iṭi for iⁿtci(?). 22,3. yiega for yega. 22,5. tcieska for tceska. Aliⁿkawahu speaks of the 'great water near New York' the ocean, as that body of water near which resided the ancestors of his people in prehistoric times. The author doubts this, suspecting that 'tciyetaⁿ' refers to some great lake (dje tañga), possibly Lake Michigan, near which resided the Winnebagos, and, according to the tradition of the Iowas, that people with other cognate tirbes."
