FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 25: This sound is the same as the Italian _gn_, and will be found in the words _Gnafing_, signifying more; _Quangning_, a man of rank; and also in _Neesa_, bad, and _Nee_, two, which are most commonly p.r.o.nounced as if a _g_ were prefixed to the _n_.]

[Footnote 26: The _o_ in this word is sounded as in the English word _Bode_.]

[Footnote 27: See sentence No. 101, Part II.]

[Footnote 28: This word also signifies milk, and the female breast.]

[Footnote 29: In speaking of books with reference to their number, they say _t.e.e.t.see sheemootsee_, one book; _tatsee sheemootsee_, two books; but of a single book they only say _sheemootsee;_ and we never found that they had any plural termination.]

[Footnote 30: See sentence No. 111.]

[Footnote 31: There is a great similarity between this word and that which signifies _to be alive_, (Itch-chawng).]

[Footnote 32: This word signifies both a ladder and a bridge.]

[Footnote 33: See Sentences Nos. 25 and 41.]

[Footnote 34: This word signifies both a cask and a candlestick.]

[Footnote 35: See Sentence No. 70.]

[Footnote 36: _Noo_ seems to express _of_, or the _"s_ used in the English language: as _Ooshee noo chee_, the cow"s milk, or the milk of the cow; _Ooshee noo ka_, the bullock"s skin, or the skin of the bullock; _Doochoo noo choe_, Loo-choo"s people, or the people of Loo-choo; and will be found in a variety of other instances.]
