Tiondees liar (tâ'ĭŏndî's), probably connected with taiantum?

Ner-tishor I went (nĕtĭ'shā) ; the last part is evidently au = go, ND. 267–8, perhaps = N. ussishau he hastens.

Tordus potatoes (tâ'dŭs). Cf. Abn. padates. Eng. loanwords.

Towug ears (tâ'ŭwŭg) = N. mehtauog; Stiles kuttuwaneage your ears, from wahteau he perceives. Cf. Abn. watawagwit; D. whittawack.

Umki. See Gertumkish.

Umsque blood (umskwe) = RW. mishque; N. musquehonk. This word contains the stem ‘red.’ Cf. D. mehokquish bloody.

Un is the definite ending in verbs, as in Pequot nepuddumun I hear it, but nepuddum simply ‘I hear.’ Cf. Abn. n’wajonem I have, but n’wajonemen I have it.
