The analysis of a series of derivatives from the same root offers a most instructive subject for investigation in the Lenape. Not only does it reveal the linguistic processes adapted, but it discloses the psychology of the native mind, and teaches us the associations of its ideas, and the range of its imaginative powers. By no other avenue can we gain access to the intimate thought-life of this people. Here it is unfolded to us by evidence which is irrefragable. These considerations lead me to present a few examples of the derivatives from roots of different classes. EXAMPLES OF LENAPE DERIVATIVES. _Subjective Root_ NI, _I, mine_. 1.
