_Man and other Animals_—as man, woman, boy, girl, deer, buck, doe, eagle, eagles, etc. _Parts of Body_—as head, arm, leg, skin, bone, blood, etc. _Trees and Plants._ _Numerals_ (noticing how far they extend, and whether referring to fingers). _Instruments and Appliances_—as spear, bow, hatchet, needle, pot, boat, cord, house, roof, &c. _Arts and Pastimes_—as picture, paint, carving, statue, song, dance, toy, game, riddle, &c. _Family Relationships_ (as defined by native custom). _Social and Legal Terms_—as chief, freeman, slave, witness, punishment, fine, &c. _Religious Terms_—as soul, spirit, dream, vision, sacrifice, penance, &c. _Moral Terms_—as truth, falsehood, kindness, treachery, love, &c. _Abstract Terms_, relating to time, space, colour, shape, power, cause, &c. The interjections used in any language can be noted, whether they are organic expressions of emotion, like _oh!_ _ugh!_ _ur-r-r!_ or sounds the nature of which is not so evident. Also imitative words which name animals from their cries, or express sounding objects or actions by their sounds, are common in all languages, and strike the stranger. Examples of such are _kah-kah_ for a crow, _twonk_ for a frog, _pututu_ for a shell-trumpet, _haitschu_ for to sneeze. When such imitative words are noticed passing into other meanings where the connection with sound is not obvious, they become interesting facts in the development of language; as, to take a familiar example from English, the imitative verb to _puff_ becomes a term for light pastry and metaphorically blown-up praise.
