Hočąk Syllabic Text — The Birth of the Twins, Version 1

The MS is written in dark pencil, the Hočąk lines by Sam Blowsnake. The English lines were written afterwards with a similar dark pencil. The writing is very legible. At the center top of the page is written, Warečáwera a transliteration of the first word of the syllabic title, w se ttA w. mo tt niKi. Beneath this is the numeral "1". Page numbers are consistently written at the center of the page, a couple of inches from the top. Lexical notes are written at the top of the page in an irregular manner.

It is clear that this was translated by John Baptiste, who was later replaced as translator by Oliver LaMère. Some of the following are "signatures" of his style:

Hočąk Words	Translations typical of, or unique to, John Baptiste
hagoréžą	in the course of time; in due time
gająga	this time; finally
gają	when
higų	again; but almost never translated
tewéraki	to his astonishment, to his surprise, unexpectedly (rare)
hohó	oh, oh; alas
gišígi	yonder
[Generally]	almost every word is translated
