[203-2] And also various peculiarities of style and language lost in translation. The two accounts of the Deluge are given side by side in Dr. Smith's _Dictionary of the Bible_ under the word Pentateuch. [203-3] See the dissertation of Prof. Nève referred to above.

[207-2] These four birds, whose names have lost their signification, represent doubtless the four winds, or the four rivers, which, as in so many legends, are the active agents in overwhelming the world in its great crises. [208-1] The word rendered mill-stone, in the original means those large hollowed stones on which the women were accustomed to bruise the maize. The imitative sounds for which I have substituted others in English, are in Quiché, _holi, holi, huqui, huqui_. [209-1] Brasseur translates "quoique nous ne sentissions rien," but Ximenes, "nos quemasteis, y sentimos el dolor." As far as I can make out the original, it is the negative conditional as I have given it in the text. [209-2] _Le Livre Sacré_, p. 27; Ximenes, _Or. de los Indios_, p. 13. [210-1] The American nations among whom a distinct and well-authenticated myth of the deluge was found are as follows: Athapascas, Algonkins, Iroquois, Cherokees, Chikasaws, Caddos, Natchez, Dakotas, Apaches, Navajos, Mandans, Pueblo Indians, Aztecs, Mixtecs, Zapotecs, Tlascalans, Mechoacans, Toltecs, Nahuas, Mayas, Quiches, Haitians, natives of Darien and Popoyan, Muyscas, Quichuas, Tuppinambas, Achaguas, Araucanians, and doubtless others. The article by M. de Charency in the _Revue Américaine, Le Deluge, d'après les Traditions Indiennes de l'Amérique du Nord_, contains some valuable extracts, but is marred by a lack of criticism of sources, and makes no attempt at analysis, nor offers for their existence a rational explanation. [211-1] _Une Fête Brésilienne célébré à Rouen en 1550, par M. Ferdinand Denis_, p. 82 (quoted in the _Revue Américaine_, ii. p. 317). The native words in this account guarantee its authenticity. In the Tupi language, _tata_ means fire; _parana_, ocean; Monan, perhaps from _monáne_, to mingle, to temper, as the potter the clay (_Dias, Diccionario da Lingua Tupy_: Lipsia, 1858). Irin monge may be an old form from _mongat-iron_, to set in order, to restore, to improve (_Martius, Beiträge zur Ethnographie und Sprachenkunde Amerika's_, ii. p. 70).
