Hocąk Syllabic Text — Young Man Gambles Often

Hocąk Syllabic Text — Young Man Gambles Often

translated by Richard L. Dieterle

based upon separate translations by Oliver LaMère


Winnebago V, #22: 1-173		Notebook 56: 1-85		Winnebago IV, #8s: 1-23

At the top right of the first page in the syllabic text is written "#22". A little below this numeral at the center of the top of the page is written in Hocąk syllabary, Ao tti tti w Ki o Ke K, and directly below it the translation, "Young man shoots for them often". What appears to be a large superscripted numeral "1" is placed after the word "shoots", but the expected footnote is absent.

While most syllabic MSS were dictated to Sam Blowsnake, it is clear from an examination of the handwriting that he was not the stenographer for this MS. This can be seen from the fact that Blowsnake elsewhere writes the syllabic letter L, which is equivalent to our /r/, about the same size as the letter a, etc. However, in this MSS, the same syllabic letter is as tall as the syllabic letters K and A.

Stylistically, the raconteur of this story has a number of singular linguistic habits:

	He makes unusually frequent use of the exclamations, hąhó (39 times) and koté (30 times) including the rare combination, hąhó koté. Also unusual is hąhó égi, "well, well."
	The rare exclamation hišją́ge, "well then," is used often (five times).
	The expression anąkra, "to speak, talk," which is not attested elsewhere, is used four times here.
	He uses hasjinįk for the more usual hastinįk ("blueberries").
	The word higí, meaning, "here, in its place," which is rare elsewhere, is used seven times here.
	The word wažį́, which is not very common, is used here six times.
	The word žejąga ("now, then, even"), which is not used by most authors, is used seven times.
	There is a strong preference for hagoreížą over hagorežą.
	It is occasionally the case in standard Hocąk stories that the subject will follow a sentence terminator (-že/še, (ša)ną), but this raconteur often puts a great deal of material in this otherwise restricted post-position.
	There are also a number of nearly redundant sentences.

The style of the translation is consistent with that of Oliver LaMère.
