Grand plat, K'cluoolakan, — pi., JCdiiooIakanel.
Iktook, being added signifies in, as oolakaniktook ^ dans plat, i. e. in the dish.
This language, as well as the Penobscot has the Dual number of nouns.
The Plural of names of animate things is formed by adding/: or gik, according to the t'.-nnination of the singular.
GOVEnxoR Lincoln's papers. 425 HIEUOGLYPHICS.
The use of hieroglyphics is a natural expedient whenever it becomes necessary to speak to the eye, which is done by manual signs, motio...ns of the body, and expression of the countenance, as in the instruction of the deaf and dumb; or by pictures, which, to those who understand not that wonderful contrivanxie, the alphabet, may be substituted. The Indians generally, in their earliest intercourse with the whites, ere interpreters could be found, or arbitrary signs agreed upon, resorted much more than they now do, to those methods of communication both among themselves and the white men. Hence we find that in the ancient treaties, instead of using, as at present, the unmeaning subscription of a cross, attested by a witness, they applied a designoting sign manual, less rude than that of kings and noble- men in civilized countries at a distant period in history.
