_Hay-ti_ Land-high.

_Ana-caona_ Flower (of) gold.

_Buhui-tihu_ Priest high or eminent.

Examples of inverse positions.

_Bo-hito_ Old man or priest.

_Jaya-el_ Earth-son.

_N’abor-itas_ The working men.

The adjectives are chiefly formed from nouns, and often by a simple O

added, thus _Ziba_ stone, _Zibao_ stony, _Zibayo_ mount.

_Turei_ heaven, _Tureigua_ heavenly or heaven-like.

_Duhos_ wealth, _Duihzi_ wealthy or wealth-is.

The superlatives are commonly formed by duplication. _Ua_ old, _Uaua_ very

old. _Co_ fruitful, _Coco_ very fruitful, the coco nut.

Or else by the affix _Ma_ which amplifies every thing.

The pronouns appear very simple.

MI, M’ first person for I, me, my, mine; but _our_ is _Ahia_?

TI, T’ Second person for thee, thou, thy, thine.

LI, L’ Third person for he, she, his, her.

NI, N’ Common like _It_ or rather _On_ of the French.

How their plurals are formed, is doubtful; but perhaps the inflexions

alone formed them. These pronouns are pure Italian! or rather primitive.

They were often dispensed with as in Italian.

Of the verbs we know little or nothing. By a few examples of the verb _to

be_, it was quite irregular as with us.

_Ei_ To be—_Tei_ be thou—_Bei_ being.

_Beira_ a being—_Dacha_ I am.

_El_ he is—_Zi_ it is, this is.

In these _Ei_ appears the root, derives from _Eil_, and was then similar

to _El_ son, as _Zi_ to _Izi_ eyes.

This verb joined to others was added to words. _Guarocoel_ we know he is,

may be analyzed _Gua-roco-el_ such-know-he-is.

We have an example of negative verbs in _Macabuca_ I do not care, which is

_Macabuca_ not-care, or never-mind; in French _n’importe_, in Italian _non

curo_.

Of the syntax we may form an idea by the few preserved phrases; which I

have analyzed as follow, and compared with the Italian.

1. _Teitoca_ thou be quiet. _Tacitu_ Italian.

_tocheta_ much. _molto._

_zinato_ angry. _irato._

_Guame-chyna_ this great God. _gran-Nume._

2. _Gua-ibba_ that go. _Vai_ It.

_zinato_ angry. _irato._

_macabuca_ not care. _non curo._

3. _Dios_ Spanish God. _Dio_ It.

_Aboria_ Servant. _Servo._

_dacha_ I am. _Sono._

This idiom or position of words is perfect in Italian which admits of many

transpositions; but in English syntax and idiom these phrases mean

1. Be quiet, God will be very angry.

2. Begone, I do not care if he is angry.

3. I am the servant of the Spanish God.

The Haytian numbers have not been transmitted to us, and I could only

collect the following secondary numbers—_Ata_ first, _Bem_ second, _Abem_

third: which however are primitive and indicate a binary numeration:

although the language had probably the decimals.

By a careful analytical process I have been able to decompose the compound

words, and even reach their monosyllabic roots. All the long words can be

thus analyzed, and show that this compound form only arises, as usual in

American languages, by the blunders of the Spanish writers, who wrote long

words instead of short ones; blending articles and affixes. The Haytian

thus analyzed and reduced is a very simple language, approximating to the

primitive and oriental forms, wherein short monosyllables of generic

import, formed the base of the speech, and became modified by union and

relative position.

By these means the following essential roots of the language have been

collected, and are given to help future similar investigations of American

languages.

Examples of composition.

_Cazabi_ Bread. _Ca-za-bi_ soil-fruitful-life.

_Manati_ Sea cow. _Ma-na-ti_ great-thing-eminent.

_Furzidi_ Cloudy. _Fur-zi-di_ gloom-it-is-day. (or now)

Such was the Haytian language, once spoken by several millions, and a

western branch of the Pelagic stock; that derived from the Asiatic

_Pelegs_ and _Palis_, once peopled nearly all the shores of the

Mediterranean 3 or 4000 years ago.

The following comparative vocabularies will prove this fact. They have not

been made to support it; but to find the truth, and the probable ancestors

of this American nation, by seeking them all over the earth. If this

nation one of the nearest to the eastern hemisphere, is thus found of such

remote antiquity, those further removed and inland may well be deemed

equally old, or rather older still: which their own history shall

disclose.

Out of the 234 words collected; many it will be perceived, are hardly

comparable; being names of peculiar animals and plants. About 200 offer

comparisons with our languages well known. It must be remarked that the

Spaniards borrowed many Haytian words, which have since been introduced

into Spanish and other European languages. Humboldt has given a list of

them. Those admitted in the English language now are, hurricane, canoe,

keys or islands, tobacco, pimento, yam, tomato, cassava, savana, mahogany,

patatas, mangrove, indigo, copal, maize, bananas, parrot, guano, coco,

cacao, guava, hammock or hanging bed &c.; which must not be compared,

since they have been borrowed by us from the Haytian. The Spaniards have

besides, chichas, balza, Cazic spelt cacique, aguti, manati, maguey,

tiburo, guayac, macana, bejuco, nigua, tuna, aji, zeyba, &c.

Yet several of those words may be usefully compared in ancient languages

often extinct, previous to the late connection with America. Thus we find

analogies for maize, canoe, cazic, cayman, yam, chicha, macana, manati

&c., in many: indicating very ancient connections.—Even the words manati,

hurricane, canoe, nigua &c., have affinities in modern Italic languages,

not derived from Hayti.

Vocabulary Of The Cairi Of Trinidad Island, 1594.

This Dialect of the ARUAC is the nearest geographically to the _Eyeri_,

and yet very different; nearer in words to the _Aruac_ of the Continent.

Therefore the _Aruac_ and _Taino_ altho’ belonging to the same group, are

distinct Languages, and the two people had been separated for ages.

Dudley collected in 1594, about 55 words of it, which are in Purchas, yet

have been neglected by all the Philologists. Out of these 27 are in my

_Taino_ List, and offer 16 affinities, equal to 56 per cent. The remainder

Fragment On The Araguas Of Brazil, 1519.

As early as 1519, Pigafetta collected a dozen words of the Brazilian

Language; which are quite different from the _Tupi_; but very akin to the

Haytian. Altho’ he does not name the tribe he visited, they must have been

_Araguas_, who are thus traced to the _Aruac_ Stock. This great nation was

still further extended; since the Patagons or _Tinguis_, the Chiquitos or

_Taos_, and perhaps the _Charruas_ belonged to it, as I shall show

elsewhere. Meantime adding some words from Cabot & Vespucci, we have 17

Araguas words, whereof 14 are comparable with the Haytian, offering 10

affinities, which gives 72 per cent of mutual analogy, much more than with

the _Cairi_.

FOOTNOTES

1 In 1824, I published my first essay on American history, a pamphlet

on the _Ancient History of Kentucky_, or Central North America,

before 1770. Although it was a mere rude sketch, it contains many

important historical facts. I was too little advanced then in

philological studies, to give it their support, and many of my

surmises must be rectified by it. My late researches have also

greatly impaired the general belief of the Tartarian origin, and

western route of the Mexican nations.

2 I published this presumed key in 1832 in my Atlantic Journal; but

many accurate comparisons are yet required to confirm my surmises,

although the Lybian analogies are evident.

3 In Hughes’ Travels in Sicily, Greece and Albania in 1813-14,

published 1820, we find this fact about Hesiod’s mention of maize,

used by the poor in mush and cakes by the early Greeks: the modern

Greeks call it _Arabo-sité_, Arabic corn, in Italy it is called

_Grano-turco_, or Turkish-corn: having reached Greece and Italy

through the Arabs, and not from America. It has been cultivated in

Java, Central Africa, Soudan, &c. from time immemorial, having

native names in the Negro languages. Gebelin thinks it was known in

Assyria. Polo found it in Tartary in the 13th century. Frazer lately

saw it almost wild in the Imalaya mts.: it has never been found

quite wild in America.

4 The _Poncho_ is a long strip of cloth, with a hole in the middle for

the head, the ends hanging before and behind, often fastened on the

sides. It was used by the ancient Mexicans, the Muyzcas, Peruvians

and Chilians. It has been adopted as quite convenient by the Spanish

colonists, and is very becoming when ornamented.

5 E-AD’M, Self-Adam, is the name given by Moses to the first men,

pronounced since Adam. Gen. 1. v. 27; but called also ZXR and N’K’BE

or male and female. The 2d AD’M or Adam was subsequent: although the

commentators have blended them, as they have the floods, days and

other things. Our bible translation of early events is besides very

erroneous; the Talmudist or Jewish version with points is not

correct, being in a late dialect: the true text of Moses which I

follow, has no points, but admits of a sheva or soft breathing

between consonants.

6 Geological comments are not here required, my business is with

mankind. Moses calls men beside _Aish_, _Anush_, _G’bforeign_, and

women _N’shim_, _Itath_, _Ashe_, _Ashth_; which are perhaps as many

names of early tribes! as well as ALEIM or _Elohim_, XRBIM

_Cherubim_, _Nahash_, &c. If these primitive names will offer any

analogies in America, they shall be thoroughly pointed out

hereafter. HUE is the real Eve. See the chapter on the Mosaic

Ontology for many other human beings, or early tribes. But it may be

well to add here the names of the beings of the 7th and 8th Yums

which we all deem animals, although there are indications to the

contrary.

7. YUM. The MIM waters produced SH’R’TZ production—translated

reptile! No soul. N’F’SH-HIE, soul living. OUF, Fowl, made to come

from waters, and their motion. LOUF’F means both flying and flirting

or swimming, G. 1. v. 20. But ALEIM realized or created the TH’NI

NIM whales, or rather Great fishes, having a soul living NFSH-EHIE,

verse 21. This fine word _soul_ has been translated creature.

8. YUM. The earth produces with soul BEME. Cattle or Herdsmen of

life? v. 24. R’M’SH, Reptiles or creeping Troglodytes? HITHU, Beasts

or Hunters. The BEME are perhaps Herdsmen! and all these may be men,

over whom Adam was to reign, giving them names. Else all these

animals had real souls like men! The fishes or fishermen D’G’TH only

appear in v. 26. at subjects of Adam.

Moses and the Hebrew poets divided the animals in 3 classes, which

represent also men! and were personified.

1. SH’R’TZ, Production—Moses. LUITH’N of Job. The Leviathan of

Poets.

2. N’F’SH, Animated—Moses. OZN or Hozan of Poets. Moses has 2 kinds

of these: THNINIM Aquatic, and OUF-XNF, Fowl strong winged, as he

had 2 of the last. SH’R’TZ, aquatic reptile, and OUF aerial fowl.

3. HITHU, Beast: of 2 kinds, BEME and RMSH, which are the BEMUTH of

Job, BEHEMOTH of Poets.

7 The Cherubim were deemed Angels, but of 4 sorts, 3 having faces of a

lion, ox, and eagle: which indicates tribes bearing those names, or

the 4 primitive castes of mankind, the oxen referring to the

laboring caste, the lion to the militant caste.

8 See his learned work, translation and paraphrase of the first

chapters of Genesis: wherein the best account of the creation,

antidiluvian history and flood has been given.

_ 9 Lanca_ was according to the Hindus a big land under the equator,

including perhaps the Decan or south of India, then separated by a

sea from the Imalaya mountains, now yet a vast level plain; and

united to Ceylon and other islands. It is in this land of _Lanca_

that many traditions place Adam, with several early events.

The _Sunda_ land was very different, a large peninsula south of Asia

including Java, Sumatra, Borneo &c. Or perhaps an island, if Malaca

was separated from Siam by a strait.

10 The monumental archeology and history of America, is not the least

curious. Humboldt opened the way; but did little: the facts since

collected in Central and North America, will astonish all the

reflecting minds, and lead us to times of great civilization and

prosperity. In the single small state of Kentucky, have already been

found the sites of 200 ancient towns in ruins, or having monuments.

If as many exist in all the neighbourhood, there must have been 2000

towns in North America, west and south of the Apalachian mountains.

Many earthy remains are gradually disappearing under the plough, and

will be obliterated ere long.—_See_ my account of monumental sites,

published in 1824.

11 The Tao is one of the earliest religions of China. It is the

personification and worship of the powers of nature, the earth, air,

winds, thunder, sea, mountains, lakes, trees &c. The spiritual

worship of their souls is the purest part of it, while the blind

material worship of the objects themselves is the degradation of it,

as in Egypt and Guinea.

12 See my Memoir on the Domestic Annnals of Both Hemispheres, 1832,

Atlantic Journal, where the names of all are given. But I have

collected a few more since.

13 By admixture with American women, the Spaniards formed a mixed race

in Hayti, Mexico, Peru, Paraguay &c.; called Cholas, Mestizos &c.;

which partook of the qualities and vices of both races; few great

men have been produced by them; although we know of some exceptions.

Lavega one of the best American historians was son of a Peruvian

princess by a Spaniard. In Paraguay the Spaniards having no women,

took Guarani concubines, and all their offsprings were of mixt

breed, a sad set, like the Mamalucos of Brazil born from Portuguese

and Tupi women. These instances, and the production of mulatoes

subsequently, teach us how some former nations were born in America.

14 The Missouri tribes, Panis and Cumanches, the Abipons and Talahets

of the vast plains of N. and S. America; are already become

wandering horsemen like Tartars, quite formidable in war. Many

tribes now possess and use guns. Brandy, rum and whiskey, liquors of

hell, ... make the savage foes furious and reckless: they have

killed as many as guns have. The small pox is another scourge sent

to America from Europe, the Cholera may be another. The Syphilis

wrongly ascribed to America, has been traced to the ancient

continent also: although it was returned from hence again, like

maize.

15 The precious commodities of America are numberless. If the Europeans

had traded there for them, as they now do in China, Persia, Arabia

and Africa, how different would have been the fate of America? Iron

would have purchased gold and pearls, with every thing else: there

was no need to use the steel swords, nor thundering guns. Coffee and

rice are not American productions, but lately introduced from Arabia

and India. The origin of the sugar cane is also oriental; but it was

found wild in South America, as orange trees were in Florida.

16 The physical changes undergone in America within late historical

recollections are very numerous, and ought to be collected into one

connected body by historians or geologists.

17 These two figures of speech, _Personification_ and _Animalization_,

are two of the keys of ancient history. By the first is not meant

alone the personification of the passions or divine attributes; but

likewise the individuality of men, tribes and nations pervading

primitive history, by the frequent substitution of the singular for

the plural, as was done by the Asiatics, the Greeks, and the

Americans. It is thus that the ancient patriarchs, Hercules, Heros,

Gods &c. are often meant for their followers; the head for the whole

set or social body. This practice has survived to our days, and we

mean all the English when we speak of _John Bull_, the Russians by

the _Northern Bear_ (a kind of animalization), all the Turks by _the

Grand Turk_ &c. The reverse mode of speech or the employment of the

plural for the singular, is less frequent: but used when we

substitute in our modern languages, _We_ and _You_ instead of I or

Thee. It was less common anciently, yet it appears Moses employed it

when he called God, ALEIM our _Elohim_ or _the Angels_, and

polytheism was the consequence of similar mistakes or substitutions;

but in his account of the patriarchs, he has used the individuality

of tribes.

_Animalization_ pervades the whole of the fabulous periods of

history. It is to this mode of speech that we owe the fables of

Pilpay and Esopus, where animals are made to speak. Whenever we meet

in history or fables, animals acting like men and conversing, they

are surely men, and often tribes individualized by an animal

appellation: such as might be emblematic or patronymic, adopted

honorable names, as lion, tyger, eagle; or else nicknames given in

derision by foes, such as snake, dog, ape &c. Even the Hebrew had

their _Cherubim_, who were beings like a man, a lion, ox, and eagle;

who drove the Adamites from Eden. This name is preserved by the

Turks in _Cherabi_ or _Chelabi_, which means _Lords_ in the old

Turkish language of Turan or Tartary. Perhaps also in the _El-abi_,

now Arabians, which meant _Angel-fathers_, or our forefathers the

angelic men. _Elapi_ means _the most manly_ in Linapi!

18 The word _Olum_ is remarkable, because it is analogous to the OLEN,

the legislator and teacher of Runes of the Celts. The writings of

the Druids and Irish were called OCOL, CALLAN, OGHAM, the Irish OLAM

were recorders and teachers. _Olum_ does not properly mean a

writing, since _Leki_ is book, paper or letter in Linapi; but it

implies _a record_, _a notched stick_, an engraved piece of wood or

bark. It comes from _Ol_ hollow or graved record. Hekewelder says

that _Oluma-pisid_ was in the 18th century, a king of the Linapis on

the river Susquehanna, who kept the _Olum_ or records of the nation.

It is probable these were part of them.

19 These actual _Olum_ were at first obtained in 1820, as a reward for

a medical cure, deemed a curiosity; and were unexplicable. In 1822

were obtained from another individual the songs annexed thereto in

the original language; but no one could be found by me able to

translate them. I had therefore to learn the language since, by the

help of Zeisberger, Hekewelder and a manuscript dictionary, on

purpose to translate them, which I only accomplished in 1833. The

contents were totally unknown to me in 1824, when I published my

Annals of Kentucky; which were based on the traditions of

Hekewelder, and those collected by me on the Shawanis, Miamis,

Ottawas, &c.

20 This account of the creation is strikingly similar to the mosaic and

oriental accounts; although it does not speak of days or _Yums_. The

word for angels _Angelatawiwak_, is not borrowed, but real Linapi,

put in the plural: thus the same as the Greek _Angelos_.

_ 21 Jin-wis_ is the AISH or _Adam_ of all the Linapi tribes. W’IS is

identic with ISH, W’ being the article _he_, WI added to words is

common, meaning but _he_, _she_ and _they_, the plural _wak_ means

_many_.

_ 22 Owini_ may be analyzed O-WI-NI, meaning _such-they-men_ or beings.

O is the common article for pronouns _On_ and _Ce_ of the French, in

English _such_, _it_, _this_, _these_, preserved in many Linapi

dialects, _Ni_ and _Ini_ mean both _me_, _I_, _my_ and _men_. It

must be noticed that many words of these two ancient songs are often

obsolete now in some modern dialects; but preserved in others. This

with the peculiar ancient style, and the many words suppressed in

the narrative, and the constant compound words, have rendered this

translation a difficult task.

23 Here the _Owini_ become _Ni-jini_, evidently the Jins of China and

Iran; Jains of India.

_ 24 Wakon_ is the god of all the Missouri tribes, and many Asiatic

nations. _Akon_ of Syria.

_ 25 Tula_ is the ancient seat of the Toltecas and Mexican nations in

Asia: the _Tulan_ or _Turan_ or Central Tartary. In Linapi the

meaning is _Turtle_ or _Tortoise_, names derived from _Thor_ turtle

in Hebrew. But all derive from strong and tall. _Tul-ap-in_ is the

real tortoise of Linapi meaning _strong-manly-thing_: the water soft

turtle is called _Unami_. The Chinese, Hindus &c. point also to a

turtle as the THBE refuge of the flood. _Nana_ appears Noah; his

title of Hare must allude to his long ears? All the Linapi tribes

have tales and songs on Nana-bush, which they venerate as a god; but

his symbol is a turtle body with a large head and nose, and a crest

of feathers or hair on the head.

26 The symbol is a kind of Hercules, with a club and arrow; his name

appears to be Eluwi, thrice repeated and meaning _the most he_.

_Elu_ the root is probably akin to the _Aleim_ or _Elohim_ of Moses,

and _Elai_ meaning strong in Hebrew: also to _Her-cules_ of the

Latins, _Hera-cleen_ of the Greek, _Her_ prefixed meaning Lord.

27 Here the people begin to be called O-LINI, this was probably their

old name when coming to America. The tribes that used R for L must

have said _O-rini_, those who have neither, as the Niniwas and

Ottawas, say _O-nini_. This will afford matter for many philological

enquiries and comparisons.

_ 28 W’oken-api_ properly mean _the fathers manly_. _Shinaki_ the first

seat in America must have been near Alaska, and the big _Shinaki_,

the N. W. coast.

29 It is doubtful whether these 10 nameless kings were successive or

contemporary during the civil strifes. But the first is most

probable. If otherwise, this lessens the generations.

30 This southern land of _Akolaking_, and the subsequent _Minihaking_,

cannot be identified; but were west of Oregon mountains, probably

the Oregon country.

31 As early as 72 generations before 1600 or about 800 years before our

era, we find a recorder of old events, by means of _Olum_. Compare

_Olen_ and _Olam_ of Celts.

32 Here this people leave at last the Sea shores, and strike to the

east over the mountains. In _Oligon_, we have the etymology of

Oregon.

_ 33 Wisawana_ is either the Missouri or Yellowstone.

34 This _Tamenend_ is famous in the songs of the Linapis, and many

kings took that title afterwards. He is also the _Amik-wi_ or great

beaver of the Miamis and Ottawas.

35 Wingenund must have been another legislator, and high-priest. His

festivals are called _Gentiko_, and known to many nations.

_ 36 Maskan-Sini_, must be the Sioux and Assinis, called stony or hard

people throughout North America. The subsequent foes _Akowini_

appear to be the _Kowetas_, the _Lowanuski_ are the Esquimaux,

_Lowakon_ are the Ozages and Missouri tribes. Thus this was a period

of invasions by many nations, which compelled the Linapis to go

further east.

37 The Nemasipi is the Mississippi, so says Hekewelder: where began the

wars with the _Talegas_, the northern Toltecas or Atlantes, towards

48 generations before 1600, near the beginning of our era, which

continued for 4 generations or over 130 years, till about 150 after

Christ. The allies Talamatans are the Hurons and Iroquois then

united, since called _Delamatan_ and _Lamatan_. The traditions of

Hekewelder and Cusick both agree here in fact and time. That of

Hekewelder is most ample, taken from other songs; but these supply

names omitted by both. I rather think the Nemosipi must have been

the Ozages or Illinois river, since the Mississippi is called

afterwards Masispek, and the monuments of the Talegas are found west

of it at St. Louis &c.

In my ancient history of Kentucky, having only for guide Hekewelder

and some other traditions, I placed the conquest of the Talegas

about 500 of our era; but these annals are more correct and remove

further this event. The computation of Cusick annals of Ongwis place

this great event still earlier, or between 300 and 100 years before

our era. I knew neither Cusick nor the Wallam-Olum in 1824.

38 Here we find another recorder of events who probably wrote the

former wars with the Talegas.

39 The Linapi tribes begin to disperse now, about 600 years of our era.

40 This prophet, pontiff and king, went probably to visit many tribes,

and became their legislator.

41 These new wars were again with the Missouri tribes, _Lowako_ is a

new invading tribe from the north.

42 The passage of the Alleghanies was towards 800 of our era: the

atlantic states appear to have had no inhabitants, or but few.

Hekewelder confirms these facts.

43 Hekewelder has given no etymology of this river, the name means

either branching or roaring stream, perhaps both. _Winaki_ was the

name of east Pennsylvania.

44 By this account the Mohigans only separated towards 970 from the

main body. This may be inaccurate, as the north-east tribes appear

older by their traditions.

By the account given by the missionary Beatty in 1766, this event

would be still later: he states that after separating from the

western tribes and long wanderings, the Lenaps (Linapis) settled on

the river Delaware 370 years before 1766, or in 1396; which was

preserved in a mosaic belt.—_See Moulton’s Hist. of New-York, Vol

I._

45 This is the second Tamenend who united all the tribes 1010. This

famous name is spelt very variously _Tamanend_, _Tamany_, _Tamini_

&c. all meaning beavering or acting like a beaver. There are many

songs and traditions on them.

46 Here is the first mention of white men towards 1170 by the

computation of generations: whether they were Eric or Madoc, or

both, will be enquired hereafter. The Tuscororas of North Carolina

were visited at the same time by Cusick tradition, the Mohigans had

also their _Wach-queow_. Hekewelder has omitted this tradition like

many others. But Holm in his description of New Sweden positively

gives two traditions of the Linapis, tribe Renapis, of a _white

woman_ who came to America, married an American, had a son, who went

to heaven; and of 2 bigmouths (or preachers) who came afterwards

with long beards, and also went to heaven. This relates to the

bishop Eric who went to convert the Americans between 1120 and 1160,

rather than Madoc or a warlike band.

47 The Miamis or M’amiwis were descendants of the first beaver tribe,

separated long before.

48 This verse is double, or has 2 symbols with 6 words, appearing to be

two different readings united, or two modes of expressing the same

thing, the separation of the real Linapis into three tribes.

49 This may allude to the subjection of the Linapis, by the _Mahongwis_

(Mengwi or Iroquois) about this time, caused by the division of the

tribes. The name of failer is certainly an epithet or nickname

given: most of the names of kings appear of the same kind or titles.

We know they changed names when becoming kings or after great deeds.

_ 50 Otali_ is the real name of the Cheroki mountaineers, so says Adair:

this recalls the Talegas to mind, of whom they may be a fragment.

The _Wasioto_ are the Cumberland mountains, meaning the _South

Sioto_. The _Siotos_ were a Missouri tribe that advanced as far as

the _Sioto_ river in Ohio, gave name to it, and were expelled by the

Ottawas; probably akin to the _Otos_ of Missouri. They bear the

snake sign in the symbol.

51 The symbolic glyph for this event is nearly the same as for the

arrival of _Wapsi_ or Eric. A sea, a boat, with mast, sail, and

cross over it. Every nation is denoted by a peculiar sign on the

head in these annals. 1. _Jinwis_ and his wife by an aureole, 2. the

_Ako_ or snakes by a forked tongue or 2 horns, 3. the _Jins_ by a

crown of rays, 4. the _Owinis_ by a feather, 5. the kings by 3

feathers, the medial longer, 6. the Esquimaux by a T, 7. the

Talamatans by the same reversed T, 8. the Talegas by a bar pointing

to the right, 9. the Nentegos by a hook, 10. the Europeans by a

cross. This evinces a kind of systematic symbolic plan, like the

Mexican; but the symbols are very seldom similar.

_ 52 Mattanikum_ appears to be both the _Tinikum_ and _Mattahorn_ of the

Swedes and Holm. Horn is not a Linapi word, but Swedish, so as to

translate half the name. He was king in 1645.

53 Holm says the Renapis called the Swedes, Akhoures, which in dialect

Linapi would be _Akoli_, meaning _ugly_ or _snake-looking_; the

prefix _Win_, means either _the beings_ or snow, or may refer to

Winaki.

54 The assertion that no land was ever sold to the colonists is

singular. They thought to buy land with trifling presents; but the

natives understood all the while the permission to dwell with them.

55 This is a third Tamanend, the great king of the whole nation

dwelling at the forks of the Delaware, which appears in Penn’s

treaties, and came in great pomp in 1697. The other chiefs mentioned

in deeds, were only his vassals: he is also called Taminy; but is

very different from _Tatami_ who was king till 1748 at Welakamika or

Nazareth, where he was killed by an Irish settler. Hekewelder

mentions him; but has many blunders on Tamanend, having mixt the

three into one.

56 Netawatwis was king in the west from 1748 till 1776. Alimi or

Coquetha-gekton (Heck.) was regent of his grandson _Unamiwi_ till

1780, after him Gelelelund was regent till 1782 when the boy

_Unamiwi_ was killed by the Bigknives.—(Heck.) this was the cause of

the wars till 1795.

57 General Wayne was compared to their old foes, and called Black

Snake, because he beat the allied nations.

58 These are the chiefs of the two united tribes, that appear in the

last treaty with the United States.

59 The United States here are called snakes like the oldest foes of

mankind. The insiduous manner in which the English settled North

America, and wronged the natives, has procured them that

appellation. The French and Canadians are never called snakes. The

former names of _Yankwis_ has only been preserved as our Yankees.

The belief of their being _Gishakis_ or children of the sun-land, at

the sun-rise, has long been exploded here as in South America. The

Spanish cruelties did since procure to the Castillians the names of

devils, assassins, snakes of the sea &c.

60 Many other notions on the primitive nations, may be collected from

the mythologies of the various Linapi tribes. Their true devils are

similar to vampyres.

61 Wakon is the god and ancestor of all the Washashas or Ozage tribes,

Arkanzas, Sioux &c. belonging to the _Capaha_ or Missouri group of

nations.

62 The account of these strangers in Hayti is very slender and

confused, some writers deem them the ancestors of all the Caribs;

yet they acknowledge Caonabo as a late comer. _Mayo-banex_ name of

their last king means Maya-head in the Maya language. They must have

been an ancient colony or remain of the Mayas, since they had

already three dialects. All strangers were called Caribs at last by

the Haytians, whence the blunder.

63 Traces of 44 distinct nations or tribes are found in the ancient

history of the Antilles, (see last note) which are the ancestors of

all the American nations of eastern origin by the Atlantic ocean.

64 These titles of the Supreme God might furnish many pages of compared

analogies. _Mamona_ is identic with the _Mammon_ of Africa and Asia.

_Liella_ has analogies with all the EL or suns, gods and lords of

the east. _Atabeira_ is identic with _Atabyrius_ the Jove of the

Phrygians and Pelasgians: The meaning _Unic-being_ has analogies in

_Ata-beira_ all over the world. _Ata_ is one or first in many

languages. Compare _Atmon_ of Egypt, _Baracata_ or _Paraxacta_ the

nature or mother of _Brama_ of the Hindus. _Mamona_ with _Vimana_

eternal god of the Jains, the _Manitos_ of North America. _Até_ was

god in Thracian, _Ata_ in Brazil, _Etua_ and _Heyta_ in Polynesia.

The names of God in the Cantabrian and Oscan dialects is _Ian_,

_Ion_, _Jauna_, _Jain_, _Janieva_, _Janugoieva_ &c. similar to

_Jemao_, _Jocana_ and _Hiauna_ of Hayti.

_ 65 Gua-ma-o-con_ was such-great-of-world, in the early monosyllabic

language of the Antilles. Compare with _Con-el_, and the gods of the

Atlantes, Guanches &c.

66 Compare the following words for winds with _Gua-banzex_.

_Vayajam_ Sanscrit.

_Band_ old Arabic.

_Watem_, _Vato_ Zend.

_Bangin_ Bali.

_Bentus_ old Latin.

_Ventus_ Latin.

_Andas_ Etruscan.

_Abka_ Abask.

_Sabam_ Ceylon.

67 It was _Jaia_, _Khaya_, _Cayo_, _Hay_ in the dialects and it is pure

Greek and Egyptian. Compare _Aya_, _Ai_, _Eia_, _Ia_, _Gaya_, in the

Pelasgic dialects, since become _Aya_, _Yaia_, _Gea_ in Greek.

_Kahi_ Egyptian.

_Akhé_ Zend.

_Kay_ Deri of Iran.

_Iya_ Sanscrit.

_Ca_, _Aion_ Phenician.

_Ay_ Lybian.

_Aya_ old Irish.

_Ayate_, _Gays_ Ausonian and Oscan.

In America numerous analogies are found,

_Aya_ Betoy, _A_ in Lulé, _Catun_ Tzuluki, _Acuti_ Moxos &c.

68 EL for son was primitive Haytian and synonymous with tribe,

children, family, divine or son of God as in Asia. In the dialects

_Rabu_, _Rahen_, _Muru &c._ meant Son. Compare _Ili_ tribe in

Persian, _Zitl_ man in Circassian, _Leh_ Osset, _Lez_ Lezghi. _Lele_

in Pelasgian, UL in Turan, now _Oglu_ in Turk—_Olgos_ Eolian,

_Vulgus_ Latin, _Chuli_ in Carthulan, _Oleos_, _Laos_ in Greek,

_Eleuth_ in Mongol, _Chula_ old Spanish, _Alu_ Copt, _Bail_

Etruscan, _Cobayl_ Berber, _Haial_ in D. _Shiluh_, _Ulu_ Afgan,

_Eli_ Hungarian, _Filius_ and _fam-ilia_ Latin &c. Even our words

_Fellow_, _Child_ and _Folks_ derive from this ancient source, the

oriental EL, IL, OL.—In America we find it in the OL-mecas, Chols

&c.—_Olo_ in Vilela, _Yoale_ Abipon, ELES Mexican &c.

69 The _Cols_ are perhaps the Chols, Olmecas, _Colas_ of Florida,

_Collas_ of Peru &c. The _Caras_ may be the ancient Caribs, or the

Guaranis, the _Caras_ of Peru, the _Coras_ of Mexico &c.; compare

with the ancient Carians and many other primitive nations.

70 Although we do not meet in Hayti the Greek name of Atlantis, we have

so many allusions to the devils _Taras_, and Amazons _Amayuna_, that

we can connect these traditions with the Greek accounts. The

ancestors of the Haytians if Pelagians were foes and vassals of the

Atlantes; but allies of the Amazons.

71 Compare _Cazic_ with the following names for king:

_Oriental Names._

_Ach_ Egypt and Etruscan.

_Vasil_ of Greeks.

_Kasek_ in Sitka.

_Cazi_ in Iran.

_Sheik_ in Arabic.

_Zic_ Iberians and Sicules.

_Acalic_, _Agazi_ Berber.

_Bazilik_ Pelagian.

_Cahin_ Lybian.

_Hazil_ Carian.

_Cay_ Zend.

_Iza_ Tigreh.

_Cazil_ Mindanao island.

_Cazis_ Socotora island.

_Izcan_ of Haikans.

_Izca_, _Kan_ of Turans.

_Casis_ of Syrians.

_American Names._

_Acachi_ of Totonacas.

_Wachil_ of Nachez.

_Zac_ of Muyzcas.

_Cathi_ of Pinindas.

_Ahatic_ of Huaztecas.

_Inca_ of Peruvians.

_Chiaca_ of Coras.

_Cuchi_ of Puncays.

_Kiuska_ of Tzulukis.

72 Compare _Ziba_ with the following names for stone:

_Hiban_ in Berber.

_Uben_ in Hebrew.

_Aben_ in Syriac.

_Keibe_ Celtic.

_Siwa_ Nukahiva island.

_Ripa_, _Rupes_ in Latin.

_Sitaba_ Pelasgian.

_Bahiba_ old Arabic.

_Iba_ Samoyed.

_Batu_ Malay.

It is in America, _Siba_ in Cahiri, _Tabu_ in Yaoy; _Saba_, _Tebu_,

_Tobu_ in Galibi dialects, _Tushub_ in Huasteca, _Tepe_ in Mexican,

_Tzacapu_ in Talasca &c.

73 Although Matinino was one of the names of Martinico, it may have

been given afterwards, and there may have been another land of that

name, perhaps the Atlantis or Trinidad.

Garcia gives _Matalino_ as a synonym, _Ma_ means great, and thus it

would be the great TALINO, the real great _Atalantis_. The

conjecture is plausible; but the name was afterwards transferred to

South America. If the real African Atlantis is meant, the event must

be before the last flood.

74 This metal Guanin is the Orichalc of the ancient Greeks; which has

so much puzzled the learned, being wrongly deemed Platina, which

would have been infusible. It was the production of Atlantis!

75 But Garcia gives a different version of this fable, he says that the

men being in want of women sent 4 Caracols (their vassals?) to catch

wives, who were like ants on trees; but slippery like eels: yet some

being caught became the wives of the Guaninis. Ants were called

_Comekhon_ in Haytian, and thus we have another tribe akin to the

_Comaguas_, _Comayaguas &c._ who were previous settlers of Hayti,

and descendants of _Kon_! the _Khons_ of Lybia? But it is strange

that we find here the _Myrmidons_ of Grecian fable! and many

affinities in the name of that tribe of ants. _Mur-mekon_ in

Pelagian and Greek, _Umekon_ in Thracian, _Formica_ in Latin,

_Camot_ in Bali, _Mohur_ in Iran &c., while in America _Comagen_ of

Uraba, _Camaxen_ of the Talascas and Opatas. All referring perhaps

to the ancient people of Ants; the Pismires of Gothic tribes; a

people of dwarfs or weakness, akin to Pygmies and Troglodytes! thus

traced also to America.

76 Compare with _Anaboria_ or _Naboritas_ (working men) the following

names for vassals and laborers—_Naboriti_ in Coyba, _Labuyu_ of

Caribs, _Anaconas_ of Peru and Muyzcas, _Naboria_ of Mayas &c.—and

in the east.

_Tabara_ in Turan.

_Burutis_ in Ausonian.

_Aborian_, _Abeirgon_ Pelagic.

_Boor_, _Bura_ Frisic.

_Ambactos_ in Gaul.

_Manahunis_ in Tahiti.

_Nerba_ Hindostani.

_Bendar_ Pehlvi.

_Abondas_ Saxon.

_Canabas_, Knave Gothic.

_Nebara_ Nepal.

_Parias_ India.

77 It is remarkable that the primitive notions of the Haytians about

ghosts &c. prevail yet among the Negroes of the Antilles. The

_Obiah_ or sortilege, and _Dupin_ ghosts, of Jamaica &c., appear to

have survived. If introduced lately by the African Negroes, it is

strange they should be similar to the Haytian names of old.

78 The two brothers became gods of good and evil, as their names

indicate—_Gua-tauva_ implies _such goodness_: while _Pregonero_ is

the devil of Cumana, under the names of _Proruru_ or _Proguro_.

79 These priests drest in white as in Central America, and the Druids;

are primitive Lybian or Druidic priests and Pelagic Bramins. Their

name is found in

_Hubantes_ in Pelagic.

_Faybo_ of the Guanches.

_Vates_ Ausonian and Gaul.

_Aobu_ in Aramic.

_Behotus_ Dorian.

_Bedo_ old French.

_Phonto_ in Egypt.

_Purohito_ in Sanscrit.

_Budan_ in Pelvi.

_Budha_ of Budhists.

_Baharas_ Nepal.

_Heotes_ Sicanian &c.

80 The Caribs went nearly naked; when the Spaniards came with clothes

and guns the prophecy was explained. _Cochio_ for dress and mantle

has affinities with many ancient languages, _Gonachen_ in Iran,

_Ahico_ of Guanches, _Poncho_ of Peru and Chili, _Cachaca_ of Gauls,

_Cochaya_ of Slavonians, _Cota_ in Celtic &c.: whence our coat.

81 This is the most plausible account of Caonabo; but he perhaps was a

Maya and not a Carib: his name is not Carib, but Haytian, meaning

_gold of the house_. Anacaona would hardly have married a Carib? I

have attempted to put probable dates to these retrospective events,

loosely mentioned by Dangleria and the Spanish writers.

82 The intercourse between Cuba, Florida and the Lucayas was frequent.

Dangleria says the Lucayas were a happy people, with beautiful

women, for whose sake many Cubans and Floridans came to live there.

83 It will be proper to recapitulate here the ancient nations and

tribes of the Antilles, mentioned in these traditions and annals;

adding to each some well-known modern nations of the continent,

bearing nearly the same name, and most probably descended from them:

unless it is preferred to consider them as ancestors rather than

posterity, a very improbable fact. Meantime we acquire thereby a new

clue to American annals and ethnology: since nearly all the nations

of America may be connected with those by other links of languages,

traditions &c.

Thus, how gratuitous was the common opinion that only one nation

filled the Antilles. Meantime we find nowhere in these annals that

name of Antilia, which in their language would have been _Anti-ili_

sons of Antes, or _Ana-ti-ili_ flower-high-children. It may be a

Lybian name like Atlantes, both referring to the _Antis_ or Anteus,

the early inhabitants of North Africa, and of Peru.
