Hočąk Text — Birth of the Twins (v. 2)

Hočąk Text — Birth of the Twins, Version 2

narrated by Jasper Blowsnake

No title appears on the initial page (which is actually page 2, the first page being lost). In the upper left, a small "28" has been overprinted with a very large "27", however this latter has been crossed out by a wavy vertical line. To the left of these numbers is written, in slightly larger characters, the numeral "57". To its right, near the center of the page, is written "J. Twin = J. T." (Junior Twin). Off to the right upper part of the page, with a curved line setting it off, is the following:

"Oct. 23, 1950
definitely
ϕ = gaja (?)
giži (?)

The instances of "(?)" are in the MS. The expression "giži (?)" is crossed out with a single horizontal line.

The manuscript is in the hand of Paul Radin, the Hočąk line is written in bolder letters with a different writing implement than was used for the English lines. In general, the MS is not difficult to read. About half of the handwritten interlinear text has no English translation, but almost all of the untranslated words could be found elsewhere. Radin also used symbolic abbreviations for common whole words or syllables some of which he interpreted here and in other manuscripts, although there are some whose values are unknown. The symbols used in the text appear on the table below:

Jasper Blowsnake's entire Twins Cycle is a MS of 2,682 words. There are a number of interesting sylistic points:

	the name of the older Twin (Ghost, Little Ghost, Stump) is never uttered. Instead a description is given in its place — nąhúič hikaroge híjega, "he who has a stump for a grandmother."
	teéži used in the sense of "but" is found 17 times (0.63%), but occurs otherwise in just this sense in only one other MS, [r-Y]. By contrast, the synonym nunige which elsewhere is very common, is used here but 4 times (0.15%). Cf. nunige in [h-B], 0.5%.
	te (8 times, 0.3%), tee (6 times, 0.22%), are used in preference to že (not used), žee (once, 0.04%), terms meaning "this, this one, these, etc." Cf. [h-B], te/tee: 1.2%, že/žee: 0.05%; [lt], tee: 1%, žee: 0.9%.
	a frequent use of hige-, "he told, called," 12 times or 0.78%. Cf. [h-B], 0.24%; and [lt], no occurrences at all.
	one of the more common words in Hočąk stories, aíreže, aíreną, "they said," used like the passive "it is said," occurs only 3 times (0.1%). Cf. [h-B], where it is 0.5%; Longtail [lt], 0.8%.
	ánañga, meaning "he said," is ordinarily used infrequently, é(že) being preferred; but here it is reversed, with ánañga (phonetic variant ánoñga) being used 27 times (1%), and éže 10 times (0.37%). Cf. [h-B]: ánañga, 0.25%, éže, 1.2%; [lt]: ánañga, no occurrences, é(že), 1.6%.
	the relatively rare x'oke, "parent", occurs 5 times (0.19%). This word occurs only in the MSS [rs-S] and [r-Y]. Here the other word for parent, š'ag/š'ak occurs 3 times (0.11%).
	the use of gáją (8 times, 0.3%) and giži (13 times, 0.48%) as sentence terminators is more frequent than usual.
	a very rare word, gikere-, "to go right in," is used 6 times (0.22%). Otherwise, it is only found in one other MS, [lt-TB].
	giwas(e)-, "to flee, run away (in fear)," is used here 3 times (0.1%), but is found in no other MS (although it is found in [mn]).
	hágeregi, "on top of," is found in no other MS. It occurs here 3 times (0.1%).
	he uses the emphatic haną́čįxjį 9 times (0.33%) in preference to haną́č (4 times, 0.15%) and hanąčį (no occurrences). Cf. [h-B], 0.37% for haną́čįxjį and 0.99% for haną́č, and no occurrences of hanąčį; [lt], no occurrences of haną́čįxjį, 0.27% haną́č, and 0.05% of hanąčį.
	higuąga, "sometime, etc.", a rare word found only in [rh-T], occurs here 5 times (0.18%).
	iowa(r)-, "to go," is found only in [rw-W], but here occurs 7 times (0.26%).
	the exclamation korá is used with great frequency, 41 times (1.52%); Cf. [h-B], 0.24%; [lt] not at all.
	niží, meaning "instead," is a hapax legomenon, although it occurs 5 times (0.18%).
	nįgak, niñgak, perhaps an obsolete word meaning "son," found only in [r-S], is found here 7 times (0.26%).
