The references to authorities on Algonkin picture-writing are the Appendix to _Tanner's Narrative of Captivity and Adventures_, Copway's _Traditional History of the Ojibway Nation_, and Schoolcraft's _Synopsis of Indian Symbols_, in Vol. I of his _History and Statistics of the Indian Tribes_. I have not pursued an investigation of the symbols beyond the first chant.
1. Rafinesque translates _wemiguna_ "all sea water." The proper form is _wemmguna_, "at all times" (Anthony). The symbol is that of the sky and clouds above the earth. Compare Copway, p. 134; Schoolcraft, _Synopsis_, Fig. 17.
2. _Kwelik_, a dialectic form of _quenek_, Z. long, stretched out. _Kitanito_, a compound of _kehtan_, great, and _manito_, mysterious being, is rendered by Raf. as Creator; _wit_ is the substantive verbaffix.
