OF NOUNS.

A Noun is the name of any person, place, or thing; as, Eneneh, man;

Kahdahnahqueeng, Kingston; metig, tree.

Nouns are of two sorts, Common and Proper.

Common Nouns stand for kinds containing many sorts, or for sorts

containing many individuals under them; as, Ahwaseeh, animal; eneneh,

man; kegownh, fish; penaseh, bird.

Proper Nouns are the names appropriated to individuals, as, Charles,

Cazenovia, Ganges. [N.B. Proper names, with a few exceptions, are the

same as in English.]

To Nouns belong gender, person, number, and case.
