= Tonkawa, Gatschet, Zwoelf Sprachen aus dem Suedwesten Nordamerikas,

76, 1876 (vocabulary of about 300 words and some sentences). Gatschet,

Die Sprache der Tonkawas, in Zeitschrift fuer Ethnologie, 64, 1877.

Gatschet (1876), in Proc. Am. Philosoph. Soc., XVI, 318, 1877.

Derivation: the full form is the Caddo or Wako term tonkaw['e]ya, "they

all stay together" (w['e]ya, "all").

After a careful examination of all the linguistic material available for

comparison, Mr. Gatschet has concluded that the language spoken by the

Tonkawa forms a distinct family.
