Pahnis, Tschi̍hrim (ri very short).
FOOTNOTES:
[238] Written from the pronunciation of the Arikkara Indians themselves. The words are pronounced exactly as in German; ch has almost always a guttural sound; r is spoken with the point of the tongue. Mr. Gallatin remarks (ibid., p. 129) that up to this time there has been no vocabulary of this tribe; it is, therefore, gratifying to me to be able to fill this gap, at least to some extent.—Maximilian.
