No. 9. The character is represented with two waving lines passing upward from the mouth, in imitation of the gesture-sign _good talk_, _spiritual talk_, as made by passing two extended and separated fingers (or all fingers separated) upward and forward from the mouth. This gesture is made when referring either to a shaman or to a christian clergyman, or to a house of worship, and the name seems to have been translated here as “good,” without sufficient emphasis, being probably more with the idea of “mystic.” No. 15. The gesture for _come_ or _to call to one’s self_ is shown in this figure. No. 24. The semicircle for cloud is the reverse in conception to that shown above in No. 2. No. 26. Arapaho, in Dakota, magpiyato--_blue cloud_--is here shown by a circular cloud, drawn in blue in the original, inclosing the head of a man. No. 38. Night appears to be indicated by the black circle around the head, suggested by the _covering over with darkness_, as shown in the gesture for night by passing both flat hands from their respective sides inwards and downwards before the body. The sign for _kill_ is denoted here by the bow in contact with the head, a custom in practice among the Dakota of striking the dead enemy with the bow or _coup_ stick. See also Figure 130, page 211. No. 43. Night is here shown by the curve for _sky_, and the suspension, beneath it, of a star, or more properly in Dakota signification, a _night sun_--the moon. No. 59. Cloud is drawn in blue in the original; _old_ is signified by drawing a staff in the hand of the man. The gesture for old is made in imitation of walking with a staff. No. 69. This drawing is similar to No. 38. The differentiation is sufficient to allow of a distinction between the two characters, each representing the same name, though two different men. No. 131. The uppermost character is said to be drawn in imitation of a number of fallen leaves lying against one another, and has reference to the season when leaves fall--autumn. No. 161. The thunder-bird is here drawn with five lines--voices--issuing from the mouth. No. 201. The waving lines above the head signify _sacred_, and are made in gesture in a similar manner as that for _prayer_ and _voice_ in No. 9. No. 236. This person is also portrayed in a recent Dakota record, where the character is represented by the “woman seated” only. The name of this man is not “Sits-like-a-Woman,” but High-Wolf--Shúnka mánita wa^ngátia. This is an instance of giving one name in a pictograph and retaining another by which the man is known in camp to his companions. No. 250. The word medicine is in the Indian sense, before explained, and would be more correctly expressed by the word _sacred_, or _mystic_, as is also indicated by the waving lines issuing from the mouth. No. 289. The character for _sacred_ again appears, attached to the end of the line issuing from the mouth. PROPERTY MARKS.
