_Cheepe_ bread _Nocharo mu_ tuch me not _Huchee kecharoh_ sit downe _Hioghe_ a king As Elmendorf and I have already pointed out, the vocabulary may be assigned conclusively to the Coast Miwok language.[105] _Cheepe_, "bread," is equivalent to modern Coast Miwok _tcipa_, "acorn bread." This word alone is the clearest possible evidence that Drake's Indian acquaintances were Coast Miwok. _Huchee kecharoh_, "sit down," probably is an incorrect translation of the phrase. The closest approximation in modern Coast Miwok is _atci kotcáto_, "step into the house," and _hoki kotcádo_, "go into the house" (_tc_ is phonetically equivalent to the sound _ch_ as in chin). It is possible to explain these differently stated meanings of these phonetically similar phrases as owing to incorrect inductions of meaning under specific circumstances. Kelly's Coast Miwok ethnographic informants stated that, according to old custom, whenever people came to a house they were asked to walk in and were offered a seat in the rear of the house, and food was placed before them. In some such situation, particularly if the English had occasion to be often in the Indian village, they may have repeatedly heard the invitation, "step into the house." Likewise, the phrase _Nocharo mu_, "touch me not," may have been translated by Madox (or his informant) only vaguely, since it represents a situation rather than a concrete object, which would be less liable to misinterpretation. Modern Coast Miwok offers a close parallel in the form of _notcáto mu_, which may be literally translated "stay over there," or "stay away" (_notca_, "farther," "yonder").
