PREFACE.

This concise, cheap and simple Dictionary is

prepared by the International Colportage Mission,

to facilitate its work among the Ojibway Indians,

who inhabit a wide stretch of territory extending

about a thousand miles in a north-westerly direc-

tion from Windsor and Detroit.

This is the sixth edition in various forms pub-

lished by the above Mission for the benefit of the

Ojibway Indians, designed to assist them in

acquiring a better understanding of the English

language and the Holy Scriptures. It will also be

found helpful to persons desirous of becoming

acquainted with the Ojibway language.

Published in two Parts, English-Ojibway, and

Ojibway-English

.

Friends interested in the Indians, and desiring

to promote their welfare, and the extension of

Christian knowledge among them, are respectfully

asked to render financial assistance in this work,

as well as the other work of the Mission

.

Mission,202 King St. East, Toronto, Ont.

PRONUNCIATION.

A, as in mate, male ; ah and au, as "a" in father;

ee, as in meet, beet ; e, as in met, bet ; i as in bit,

wick ; o, as in note, so ; oo, as in boot, soon ; uh

and «, as in cut, shut ; uy, as in buy; g, as in go,

pig; j, as in John, judge ; ch, as in chat, much

;

qti, as in quack ; ttg, as in wing ; 7ts, nearly as nee

in since, mince ; s, as in so, pass ; sh, as in rush,

show ; w and zvh, as w in English ; zh, as s \n

measure, pleasure, or asj in the French word jour.

Other letters as in English.

N.B.—Every vowel must be distinctly sounded,

there are no silent vowels. Where terminations

such as uge and ume occur, pronounce ug-ge,

um-me. When two vowels come together, as eu,

at, etc., both should be sounded, ee and oo alone

excepted, which represent the long sounds of ee

in meek, and oo in soon. When these vowels are

to be separated in pronunciation a dieresis accent

will be found over one of them, thus, ee.
