FOOTNOTES:

[8] In our Indian languages the highest terms for men in power are Kosinaun, our father, and Ogimau, chief. Both admit of a prefixed adjective to indicate great, and of a diminutive inflection to denote inferiority in size, power, or excellence. The term "king" is retained here, from the verbal narration of the interpreters.

[9] Indian flute.
