fox-cubs are run off;”—_Choo-la_ being the name of a fox. _Phut-choos-oo-she Wah kâ-as_, “let the young duck fly away;” and _Phoo-soo-she Hish-she Ool-pha-quî-sa_, “the young wild bird’s hairs, or feathers, are not sprung, or budded.” _Pa-se_ signifies the hair of a man’s head, or the mane of animals. _Sha-le_ signifies pregnant, literally, “to carry a burthen;” as _Oo-she shâ-le_, “she bears, or carries, an infant;” but, when it is born, _Shoo-le_ is the name for carrying it in their arms. This bears off from the divine radix, with great propriety of language. _Im_ prefixed to a verb, denotes the masculine and feminine pronouns, _illum_ and _illam_. As this is their fixed method of speech, the reader will easily understand the true idiom of their language. _Sal-le_ signifies “I am dead,” _Chil-le_, you, &c. _Il-leh_, he, &c. And this is likewise a substantive, as _Il-let Min-te_, “death is approaching,” or coming: _Min-té-cha_ signifies “come you;” and _A-min-té-la A-wa_, or _Ac-min-tá-qua-chu_, “I will not come.” The former word, _Shâ-le_, “to carry a burthen,” or, she is pregnant, seems to be derived from ש and אל and, as _A-shâ-le_, _Ish-shâ-le_, and _E-shâ-le_, are the first, second, and third persons singular of the present tense, the latter may allude to her conception by the power of the Deity: and it also points to שול, _Sha-wô-le_, or Saul, “the grave, or sepulchre,” out of which the dead shall come forth to a new world of light. In like manner _Chee-le_ “to bring forth,” or _A-chee-lá-le_, “I brought forth,” appears to be derived from כ, a note of resemblance, and אל, _A-le_, the fruitful Omnipotent. All the American nations, like the Jews, entertain a contemptible opinion of their females that are barren—sterility they consider as proceeding from the divine anger, on account of their conjugal infidelity.
