19. _Gattamin_ cannot mean "fat fruit," as Raf. translates it. He has evidently mistaken the explanation given by Heckewelder, of Catawissa, _Gattawisu_, becoming fat, and thought that _gatta_, was fat, whereas _wisu_ is "fat." (Zeis. _Gram._, p. 229.) _Wakon_ is understood by Rafinesque as the proper name of the evil spirit, connecting it with the Dakota _wakan_, divine, supernatural. 20. The dream of "the good old times," the happy epoch of yore, when men dwelt in peace and prosperity, was, as I have shown, page 135, a myth of the Delawares, and George Copway tells us that the Chipeway legends also recalled it with delight. (_Traditional History of the Ojibway Nation_, pp. 98 and 169-175.) 21. The symbol is the same as that of the "bad spirit under the earth," given by Copway, p. 135. A similar figure is given by Copway to signify "bad," p. 135. I do not understand its allusion. 22. _Mattalogas_; the prefix is the negative _matta_, no, not, and generally conveys a bad sense, as _matteleman_, to despise one, _mattelendam_, to be uneasy. Zeis. _Pallalogasin_, to sin, from _palli_, elsewhere, other than, hence _pallhiken_, to shoot amiss, to miss the mark, to go wrong. _Maktaton_, unhappiness. There is a relation in Lenape between the negative _matta_, in Minsi, _machta_, and the words for bad, ugly, evil, and the like; _machtisisu_, here it is bad, or ugly. _Zeisb._ It would seem to be an intuitive recognition of the profound philosophical maxim that evil is ever a negation; that Mephistopheles is, as he says in Faust-- "Der Geist der stets vernemt" 23. The symbol is apparently trees on hills, bent by a storm, and beneath a death's head. 24. The picture seems to be two countries connected by a bridge. _Atak kitahican_, = _attach_, beyond, above; _kitahican_, the ocean, literally "the great tidal sea." It is possible this has reference to the deluge, which is described in the next section; but usually _kitahican_ meant the ocean. II. 1. _Maskanako_; the Lenape words would be _mechek_, great, _achgook_, snake; but _maska_ is more allied to the Cree _maskaw_, strong, hard, solid. Raf. translates the close of the line "when men had become bad." 2. _Schingalan_, to hate; from the adjective _schingi_, disliking, unwilling. This is the contrary of _wingi_, liking, willing. Both are from the subjective radical _n_ or _ni_, I, _Ego_, the latter with the prefix _wĕl_, signifying pleasurable sensation (see page 104). _Shawelendamep_, preterite form, strengthened by the prefix _ksch_, of the verb _acquiwelendam_, Zeis., to disquiet, to trouble; it has not the passive sense given in Rafinesque's translation. All verbs terminating in _elendam_ signify a disposition of mind, the root being again the subjective _n_, ego. Raf. translates: "This strong snake had become the foe of the Jins, and they became troubled, hating each other."
