Notes:
| In the Potawatomi text, letters in brackets could not be read with certainty. Words added to the English translation are enclosed in brackets. The Jesuits constructed an elaborate orthography that utilized diacritical marks extensively. Occasionally, more than one such mark was associated with a single letter. In that event, the second diacritical mark follows the letter with which it is associated in the manuscript. Similarly, when the html symbol set does not include the letter/diacritical mark combination, the diacritical mark is inserted after the letter. In chapter 22, verse 18, /enemê¨kasoýe¯g/ demonstrates both of these situations. | |
| 1 | V. 2. /yanich[ï]kot/ was written above the line, between /niewapitug/ and /tiso/ |
| 2 | V. 3. last two letters of /pakwejikaniwok/ appear to have been crossed out and are not included here. They would have been a vowel and /t/. |
| 3 | V. 6. /kwâ[s] kwose'ön/ was written in the margin. A mark in the text precedes the word /kwachkosén/. It appears that the words in the margin are an alternate form of the word in the text. |
| 4 | V. 6. /chinnu/ is written above the original text, /châchâko'sitenin/, in such a way that either /chinnu/ is to be inserted as in our transcription, giving /châchâko'sitechinnunin/, or it replaces the last three letters of the original word, giving /châchâko'sitechinnu/. In his dictionary, Gailland lists the Potawatomi for /stumble/ as /nibakisitêchin/ (firstst person, present tense). |
| 5 | V. 8. /wi/ was written above wisiniwan; I believe wisiwiniwan was intended. |
| 6 | V. 10. /wi/ was written below the /ät/ in /kikúmiketchiätowa/ in such a way that I believe /kikúmiketchiäwitowa/ was intended. |
