Russischen Besitzungen an der Nordwestküste von Amerika_, we find a

second vocabulary named _Atna_. This is spoken on the Copper River in

Russian America, and represents a different language from the Atna of

Mackenzie. Both, however, belong to the same[30] group. The plausible

mode of accounting for this coincidence, is to suppose that two tribes

named themselves _men_, which throughout the Athabascar languages is

expressed by the root _t-n_, as _dinnie_, _tenni_, _tnain_, &c.
