��LEXICAL CORRESPONDENCES

BETWEEN CHINOOK AND

KALAPUYA

Let us now turn to the correspondences that have been observed between Chinook and Kal- apuya. As has been stated before, these are less numerous. In this list are not included words that have been undoubtedly borrowed through the medium of Chinook jargon. The most interesting feature of these correspond- ences is found in the fact that, while in Chi- nook most of these words are stems that must be used with some affix, in Kalapuya they are treated as independent words. The following correspondences have been observed:

CHINOOK ' KALAPUYA

1. -ca'yim, GRIZZLY BEAR sa'yim

2. -cgan, CUP u'sjcan

��CONCLUSION

The correspondences quoted on the pre- ceding pages are by no means exhaustive; and, while it is highly probable that, upon further investigations, some of them may have to be disregarded, I feel reasonably certain that a great deal of additional comparative material will be disclosed in the near future. It will be remembered that thus far less than one-third of all available Kalapuya data have been carded. The highly polysynthetic character of Chinook would be sufficient to render a comparison between this language and Kala- puya (which is inflective par excellence) an al- most hopeless task, were it not for the great lexical and structural divergencies that have been noted to exist within the Kalapuya di- alects themselves. The Kalapuya family con- sists of seven distinct dialects that may be sub-divided into three separate groups: the Northern (embracing Yamhill and Atfalati); the Central (to which belong the Santiam, Lakmayut, Ahantsayuk, and Mary's River dialects) ; and the Southern group (consisting of Yonkalla). Now, while the work on each of these dialects is far from being completed, enough data have already been extracted to give us a bird's eye view of the lexical and
