ENGLISH. SHASTI. PALAIK.

_one_ tshiamu umis.

_two_ hoka kaki.

Neither are there wanting affinities to the Sahaptin and Cayús

languages, allied to each other. Thus--

_Ear_ = _mumutsh_ Lutuami = _ku-mumuats_ Palaik = _mutsaui_ Sahaptin.

_tsack_ Shasti = _taksh_ Cayús.

_Mouth_ = _shum_ Lutuami = _shum-kaksh_ Cayús = _him_ Sahaptin.

_Tongue_ = _pawus_ Lutuami = _pawish_ Sahaptin = _push_ Cayús.

_Tooth_ = _tut_ Lutuami = _til_ Sahaptin.

_Foot_ = _akwes_ Shasti = _akhua_ Sahaptin.

_Blood_ = _ahati_ Palaik = _kiket_ Sahaptin.

_Fire_ = _loloks_ Lutuami = _ihiksha_ Sahaptin.

_One_ = _natshik_ Lutuami = _naks_ Sahaptin = _na_ Cayús.

_Two_ = _lapit_ Lutuami = _lapit_ Sahaptin = _leptin_ Cayús.

The Lutuami seems somewhat the most Sahaptin of the three, and

this is what we expect from its geographical position, it being

conterminous with the Molelé (or Cayús) and the allied Waiilatpu. It

is also conterminous with the Wihinast Shoshoni, or Paduca, as is the

Palaik. Both Palaik and Lutuami (along with the Shasti) have Shoshoni

affinities.
