Do any of you have a way of translating this? I'm not 100% about the spelling, but it is spelt as it is pronounced.


a hoak ta seen nie o-wa shee-nay-ee nie o-wa


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Heather

Hmmm. Try e-mailing toddgar. He has his Tutelo Grammar Book. He might be able to help you out. Good luck with it.;) Love & Light, Lynella.

'Hoak' or 'hok' is the word for 'all', but I am not finding the rest of the words. However, I have a copy of the _Minor Vocabularies of Tutelo and Saponi_ on order, so I'll take another look a.s.a.p.

That looks Iroquoian. Niaweh means "Thank You."

Oh, Linda,

:) I am SO glad you are back! I really missed you. Does this mean your home has come together quite nicely? I hope so. I know everyone else missed you too. So many wonderful and exciting things happening around here. Sorry I'm not quite so helpful, but thank you for letting me try. I've so loved adopting everyone!;) Love & Light, Lynella.
