An interesting class of substantives is derived from the third person singular of the present indicative of the verb, by changing the vowel sound of the first syllable, and adding the letter d to that of the last, making the terminations in aid, âd, eed, id, ood. Thus, Pimmoossâ, he walks, becomes pâmoossâd, a walker.
| aid— | Munnissai | He chops | Mânissaid | A chopper. |
| Ozhibeigai | He writes | Wâzhibeigaid | A writer. | |
| Nundowainjeegai | He hunts | Nândowainjeegaid | A hunter. | |
| âd— | Neebâ | He sleeps | Nâbâd | A sleeper. |
| Kwâbahwâ | He fishes (with scoop net) | Kwyâbahwâd | A fisher, (with scoop net.) | |

| ood— | Nugamoo | He sings | Naigumood | A singer. |
| Keegido | He speaks | Kâgidood | A speaker. | |
| Keewonimoo | He lies | Kâwunimood | A liar. |
This class of words is rendered plural in ig,—a termination, which, after d final in the singular, has a soft pronunciation, as if written jig. Thus, Nâmid, a dancer, nâmidjig, dancers.
