[48-1] _Rel. de la Nouv. France._ An 1636, p. 107.
[48-2] This word is found in Gallatin's vocabularies (_Transactions of the Am. Antiq. Soc._, vol. ii.), and may have partially induced that distinguished ethnologist to ascribe, as he does in more than one place, whatever notions the eastern tribes had of a Supreme Being to the teachings of the Quakers.
[48-3] Bruyas, _Radices Verborum Iroquæorum_, p. 84. This work is in Shea's Library of American Linguistics, and is a most valuable contribution to philology. The same etymology is given by Lafitau, _Moeurs des Sauvages_, etc., Germ. trans., p. 65.
[50-1] My authorities are Riggs, _Dict. of the Dakota_, Boscana, _Account of New California_, Richardson's and Egede's Eskimo Vocabularies, Pandosy, _Gram. and Dict. of the Yakama_ (Shea's Lib. of Am. Linguistics), and the Abbé Brasseur for the Aztec.
[51-1] These terms are found in Gallatin's vocabularies. The last mentioned is not, as Adair thought, derived from _issto ulla_ or _ishto hoollo_, great man, for in Choctaw the adjective cannot precede the noun it qualifies. Its true sense is visible in the analogous Creek words _ishtali_, the storm wind, and _hustolah_, the windy season.
[51-2] Webster derives hurricane from the Latin _furio_. But Oviedo tells us in his description of Hispaniola that "Hurakan, in lingua di questa isola vuole dire propriamente fortuna tempestuosa molto eccessiva, perche en effetto non è altro que un grandissimo vento è pioggia insieme." _Historia dell' Indie_, lib. vi. cap. iii. It is a coincidence--perhaps something more--that in the Quichua language _huracan_, third person singular present indicative of the verbal noun _huraca_, means "a stream of water falls perpendicularly." (Markham, _Quichua Dictionary_, p. 132.)

[53-1] See the _Rel. de la Nouv. France pour l'An 1637_, p. 49.
[53-2] Mr. Morgan, in his excellent work, _The League of the Iroquois_, has been led astray by an ignorance of the etymology of these terms. For Schoolcraft's views see his _Oneota_, p. 147. The matter is ably discussed in the _Etudes Philologiques sur Quelques Langues Sauvages de l'Amérique_, p. 14: Montreal, 1866; but comp. Shea, _Dict. Français-Onontagué_, preface.
