This book will introduce students to the language and culture of the indigenous people of Northern Ontario. Students will learn basic vocabulary through listening, speaking, reading, and writing in Ojibwe. Students will develop basic communication skills in Ojibwe through study and practice. They will also become familiar with the traditional values and culture, which are vital when working with indigenous people. ke he ad U ni v er sit y ( La t~v\~\J>- vJJJ ~ ~ V\, \, \J"' ~\ LET'S CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY UP THE RIVER TO DISCOVER ANISHINAABEMOWIN �What is Anishinaabemowin? Q io n Anishinaabemowin is the indigenous name for the Ojibwe language. Anishinaabemowin is spoken in several different DlALECTS throughout Canada and parts of the United States. In this book we are focussing on the dialect of Anishinaabemowin which is spoken in Ontario, in the area between Thunder Bay, Ontario, at the west end of Lake Superior, and Sault Ste Marie, Ontario. Similar dialects of Anishinaabemowin are spoken in the Lake of the Woods area, in the area between Thunder Bay and the Ontario-Manitoba border, and also in Minnesota. Ed uc at This book was prepared in conjunction with the Native Language Instructors' Program (NLIP) at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay. For convenience the Anishinaabemowin dialect being studied here is sometimes called 'Western Ojibwe,' in order to distinguish the varieties of Anishinaabemowin spoken in Ontario west of Sault Ste Marie from those spoken in southern Ontario. In the book, however, we will use the term Anishinaabemowin. cu l ty of Some of the communities where the dialect of Anishinaabemowin being studied here is spoken include Rocky Bay and Gull Bay, on the shores of Lake Nipigon. Other communities include Pays Plat, Pie Heron, Mobert, Lake Helen, Batchewana Bay, and Whitesands. y Fa Because there are many different dialects of Anishinaabemowin, you may find that Anishinaabe people from other areas use words, pronunciation, and spelling that are somewhat different from the ones used in this book. But at the same time there are many similarities between all dialects of Anishinaabemowin. sit If you are interested in more detailed information about the dialects of Anishinaabemowin, you ni v er may wish to consult the following book. Although much of the discussion is technical in nature and requires some knowledge of linguistics, there are many maps and lists of words which may be interesting to the general reader. ad U J. Randolph Valentine. 1994. Ojibwe Dialect Variation. PhD dissertation, University of Texas, Austin. ke he Another useful reference which is recommended for students using this book is this dictionary of a closely related dialect of Anishinaabemowin spoken in Minnesota. La Earl Nyholm and John Nichols. 1995. A Concise Dictionary ofMinnesota Ojibwe. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press. What is in this course? There are two units of study. This book is intended as an introduction to Anishinaabewmowin. In these units, you will be given instructions in English and guided through exercises. Many of the answers are included in the book, so you can check your work. At the back of the book there are glossaries which list all the words used in this book. You are encouraged to listen carefully to your instructor, and to other speakers of Anishinaabemowin, who can introduce you to new words and expressions. ii 0 �But these are only a beginning - to learn more Anishinaabemowin please be certain to learn from speakers of Anishinaabemowin in your community. By the end of the course of studies, you will be able to carry on a short conversation in Anishinaabemowin. n SUBJECT OUTLINE io Subject Name: Introductory Ojibwe (Western dialect) uc at Subject Number: OJ 1010 Part One and OJ 101~ Part Two Ed Subject Description: ty of The aim of this subject is to provide students with the skills necessary to speak Anishinaabemowin. In this functional and conversational program, students will learn basic vocabulary through listening, speaking, writing and understanding. y Fa to understand through conversation the structure of Anishinaabemowin. to listen with understanding and to converse at a basic level in Anishinaabemowin. to pronounce words accurately. to demonstrate effective use of Anishinaabemowin in culturally appropriate contexts. er What is this subject about? sit ( - cu l Objectives: ke he ad U ni v This is an introductory course for students who wish to learn to speak the Anishinaabemowin dialect. It is designed to give practice in conversation using everyday situations that students might encounter as they live and work in a Native community. It can be used to practice Native language by students of Native ancestry or by students from other backgrounds. Leaming a Native language can lead to a better appreciation and understanding of the whole society who uses it. Both Native and non-Native learners can gain a sense of the traditions, the customs, and both the historical and modem view of Native life. La Where should the learning begin? There is no right or wrong dialect. What is important is to keep the Native language alive and growing in use. Perhaps then, it is important to become familiar with one dialect of the language to start, and it would be simple from there to learn the differences in sounds of words to learn other dialects. Appreciating the dialects of other communities takes a trained ear and a curiosity to understand one another. Perhaps this first step will help to bring a stronger unity among our Native communities to keep alive the Native culture. L Although people in their own communities must be the ones to decide how to carry on their language through the generations, this advanced course of studies uses Anishinaabemowin. iii �Writing Anishinaabemowin In this section we discuss the writing system which is used in this book. First there is a discussion of 0 the basic letters and combinations of letters which are used to write Anishinaabemowin. Following this there is a discussion of some issues which arise in writing and reading Anishinaabemowin. You io n do not need to read all the information at once. You may find it helpful to read it over from time to Ed uc standable to you after you have been exposed to the language for some time. at time as you progress through the course. Some of the topics discussed here will become more under- The Writing System of In this book Anishinaabemowin is written with Roman (alphabetic) letters. Anishinaabemowin uses ty some of the letters used in writing English. However Anishinaabemowin is written in a way that is cu l more consistent than English writing. Although English writing is basically fairly regular, there are Fa enough irregularities found in English writing that we would not want to import them into y Anishinaabemowin writing. When we use letters or combinations of letters in Anishinaabemowin, sit these consistently represent the same sound or combination of sounds. Each letter corresponds to a 0 er certain sound, and is only used to represent that sound. VOWELS and CONSONANTS. U ni v Sounds in Anishinaabemowin are divided into two basic types: ad Vowels he There are seven vowel sounds in Anishinaabemowin. Vowels are divided into two types: LONG ke vowels and SHORT vowels. Long vowels take longer to say. With one exception, there is a long vowel La corresponding to each short vowel. In elementary school you may have learned that certain English vowels were long and others were short. However, the way that vowels are analysed as long and short in Anishinaabemowin is different from the way they are presented in English, and you should ignore the English usage. Here is a chart of the long and short vowels. You will learn how they are pronounced in the following paragraphs. IV Q �LONG r SHORT ii 00 0 aa a at io n e uc You can see that the first three long vowels are represented by writing them double. Each is still one Ed vowel, though. Further, each of the first three long vowels has a corresponding short vowel, and each short vowel is written with a single letter. The last long vowel, e, has no corresponding short of vowel. Because there is no need to indicate a distinction between a long and short e sound, the long cu l ty e is written with a single letter. You will find that some of the letters do not represent what we might expect them to in English. Fa But remember that when we use these letters to write words in Anishinaabemowin, they are sit expect them to be pronounced the same way they are pronounced in English. Every language has its ni v er own rules for how letters are to be pronounced, and Anishinaabemowin is no exception. Here are some examples of Anishinaabemowin words that contain long vowels. The examples U show the vowel in three positions: beginning, middle, and end of a word. The vowel in question in ad each word is written in bold type. The approximate English equivalent of the Ojibwe vowel sound is ke he also given. Most of the words given in this section are also used in the book.

All the letters used to write conso- ni v nants are also found in English. Some have a pronunciation very similar to that which they have in ad U English, while others are quite different. he The consonant letters used to write Anishinaabemowin are: b, d, g, ', j, k, m, n, p, s, sh, t, w, y, z, zh. ke Not used are c, f, q, v, x. The letter h is used in only a very small number of words. The letters l and La r do occur in some word borrowed from English or French. Some of the letters used for consonants are virtually the same as ones used in English: m, n, w, and y. They should not cause you any difficulty. The sounds m, n and w can appear in any position in a word: beginning, middle, and end.

Ojibwe at The sound y usually does not appear at the beginning of a word. cu l Anishinaabemowin has one letter (and sound) which does not correspond to any letter in English. This is the apostrophe('), which in Anishinaabemowin represents the sound called a GLOTTAL STOP. Fa In English the glottal stop sometimes occurs: listen carefully to the pause between the two syllables y of 'oh-oh.• But in English there is no letter to represent this sound. sit ( Ojibwe examples English equivalent mazina'igan 'book' oh-oh U ni v er Phonetic ad The sound h normally does not occur in Anishinaabemowin words. But you will find it in the word ke he that means 'okay.'

The L weak and strong consonants come in pairs. WEAK b d g J z zh STRONG p t k ch s sh vii �The strong consonants normally do not appear at the beginning of a word, only in the middle or at the end of a word.

You may find it helpful to read them over as you become more familiar with the materials in the course, and L as you become more accustomed to hearing Anishinaabemowin words and sentences. The pronunciation of words in Anishinaabemowin does not always consistently match the spelling ix �of words in this book. There are several sources of variation in pronunciation which may make the pronunciation of words different from their speliing. Variations in pronunciaton affect both vowels Q and consonants. You may find that some speakers have slightly different pronunciations of some words. and even that a single speaker may vary in the way that they pronounce particular words. In n this book the way that words are written does not reflect these different types of variation. We have of Ed to other speakers of Anishinaabemowin. and follow their pronunciation. uc at io attempted to use a more consistent spelling which can be used by a wide variety of learners and speakers. However as a result language learners will need to listen carefully to their instructors and 1. VOWELS cu l ty The pronunciation of short vowels is subject to several sources of variation. Some of the more common ones are summarized in this section. Fa (a) Dropping of short vowels y A common feature of the dialect of Anishinaabemowin being spoken here is that SHORT VOWELS are 0 er sit frequently dropped. That is. they are not pronounced. Note that long vowels are not affected by this phenomenon. Dropping of vowels is common in everyday speech; when individuals are speaking end of a word. ad U ni v more slowly they may drop vowels less frequently. Vowel dropping occurs at the beginning of words or internal to a word; the type of vowel dropping being discussed here does not occur at the he Vowel dropping is common at the beginning of a word. In the first column we give the full form of ke the word, without vowel dropping. In the second column we give the form of the word with vowel La dropping. In the second column, the location of the vowel which is dropped is marked with an underline(_); this use of underlining appears only in this section.

Fa (b) Modification of short vowels. you may notice that speakers may pronounce certain words with a different vowel. In particular, sit ( y Apart form the dropping of short vowels, if you listen to different speakers of Anishinaabemowin er where the general pronunciation of a word begins with the short vowel i, you may find that some ni v speakers will have a short a sound at the beginning instead.

PERSONAL PREFIXES of The pronunciation of the personal prefixes which are used on nouns and verbs is also subject to ty variation. cu l (a) Personal Prefixes Fa Anishinaabemowin has three personal prefixes which appear on verbs and nouns. Here are the basic Meaning ni- •1, me' gi- 0 er Prefix ni v sit y forms of the three prefixes. U 'you' 'he, she' ad o- he Please note that in this section we write the prefixes followed by a hyphen, to indicate that these are ke only word parts, not words. La The pronunciation of the the prefixes may vary depending upon whether the word the prefix is added to begins with a VOWEL or a CONSONANT. Here are examples of the prefixes added to the word makizin 'shoe.' For convenience, in the examples the prefix is in bold type. Ojibwe Word Meaning nimakizin 'my shoe' gimakizin 'your shoe' 0 xii �omakizin 'his/her shoe' When the prefixes are added to a word that begins with a VOWEL, the sound d appears as a 'connector' between the prefix and the main word. These examples show the prefixes added to the word io n aazhogan 'bridge.• Meaning nindaazhogan 1 'my bridge' gidaazhogan 'your bridge' odaazhogan 'his/her bridge' ty of Ed uc at Ojibwe Word cu l (b) The First-Person Prefix Fa The pronunciation of the personal prefix ni- 'I, me,' which is also called the 'first-person personal prefix,• changes depending upon the initial sound of the word it is added to. sit y For words that begin with the sounds m, s, sh, or w the prefix stays the same. nisayenh U nishiime Meaning ni v Ojibwe Word er ( 'my younger sibling' 'I eat' he ad niwiisin 'my older brother' ke If the word begins with the sound b, the sound m is added between the prefix and the beginning of La the word. As well, speakers of Anishinaabemowin will often not pronounce the initial part of the prefix itself. In this book, the variation in pronunciation is reflected by placing the first consonant of the prefix in brackets. It is advisable to listen carefully to your instructor to find out just how he or she pronounces these words. L 1. Further information on the pronunciation of the first-person prefix when added to words that begin with a vowel is given on the following page. xiii �OjibweWord Meaning (n)imbaap 'I laugh' 0 Similar modifications of pronunciation occur when the first-person prefix is added to nouns or verbs io consonants).

The language has a structural rule that divides all nouns into two classes, called GENDER. One gender is called ANIMATE. In this gender, are found all Jiving things, animals, birds, reptiles, bugs, people, etc., and also some other things such as stars, tobacco, drums, fishnets, and kettles that we don't usually think of as living. The other gender is called INANIMATE, and in it are found all the nouns that are not animate. n Since there is no way to figure out whether a noun is animate or inanimate, you will just have to remember each one. cu l ty of Ed uc at io You have already learned the gender of 24 nouns. If you say "biizh" with a noun, it's because it's an animate noun. If you say "biidoon'' it's because the noun is inanimate. For writing and thinking practice, you may now rewrite all 24 nouns with either "biizh" (animate) or "biidoon" (inanimate).

For example, if you call someone with whom you're going on a trip, and say, "We'll be leaving at six,.. you are including the person you're talking to in the "we" you use. This kind of "we" is expressed in examples like the following: at This fonn of the verb is called the first person plural INCLUSIVE. It corresponds to the pronoun uc giinawind which we introduced above in 1. The important thing to remember about the inclusive Ed is that the person doing the action or asking the question is INCLUDED among those that the verb or pronoun refers to. For example, if we ask the following question, of Aaniin endoodamanii? What are we (inclusive) doing? cu l ty then we could answer with any of the inclusive verb fonns above. er Niwii-wiisinimin Nidebi-wiisinimin Ninibaamin Q Nijiibaakwemin Niboodawemin Nindanokiimin U ni v Niminikwemin Nidoozhibii' igemin Ningotaajimin sit y Fa 3. The English word "we.. can also mean I and someone else (him/her/them), but not you. For example, if you call someone who is not going on the trip with you, you may say, "We will be leaving at six." This "we" is different from the inclusive "we.,, because that "we" INCLUDES the person you're talking to, while the exclusive "we., EXCLUDES the person you're talking to. This second kind of "we., is expressed in the following: ke he ad This fonn of the verb is called the first person plural EXCLUSIVE. It corresponds to the pronoun niinawind which we introduced above in 1. The important thing to remember about the exclusive is that the person doing the action or asking the question is EXCLUDED from those that the verb or pronoun refers to. For example, if we ask the following question, What are you (plural) doing? La Aaniin endoodameg? then we could answer with any of the exclusive verb fonns above. 4. Since English speakers don't make a distinction between the two meanings of "we., you will have to pay close attention to these ideas for a while, until they become automatic to you. Take extra time to review these two kinds of "we." Answer the following questions. What part of both sets of words is the same?._ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ What part is different between the first and second sets?_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ In which set of words are the speaker excluded?_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ 94 0 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE (Western Dialect) - UNIT 2; LESSON 2 Using What You Have Learned: 5.

How does an Ojibwe speaker indicate a "small'' (young) animal? When the ending (ns) is used to indicate smallness, the form is called a DIMINUTIVE. Diminutive forms can be made from animate and inanimate nouns.

For the following list of nouns, write the dimunitive form beside each one. Check your answers with the instructor if you need help. The English translations are on page 178. 1 The word emikwaan is the general word for 'spoon,' while the diminutive fonn emikwaanens is used specifically to refer to 'teaspoon.' 0 102 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE (Western Dialect) - UNIT 2; LESSON 2 4.

Now, with a partner, turn back to the picture of the animals at the beginning of this lesson, and put each of the animal names in one of the sentences: "I see _____." or "Do you see ___?" Experiment with a variety of word orders, as the sentences above illustrate. It is also possible to simply say "Niwaabamaa" or "Niwaabandaan" without any other words to fonn a complete sentence. In this case, you would mean, "I see him" or "I see it." cu l ty 3. Did you notice in section 1 that the Ojibwe word for "see" was written in two different ways?

Roughly, the SUBJECT of a sentence is the person or thing that is doing the action, or in some cases, the person or thing that is being described. The OBJECT is the person or thing that the action is being done to, or in some way is affected by the verb. If you look at the English translations in the box above, you can see how these rough definitions apply. y Fa Which of the following verbs are transitive and which are intransitive?

In English. we have one word for "aunt.. which means "sister(s) of your father or mother:• In Ojibwe, there are two words for "aunt." The first is used for your father's sister(s) and the other is used for your mother•s sister(s). The same division is found with the word for uncle. In Ojibwe. there are two terms whereas in English there is but one. Q Ed uc at io n This is just the beginning of an important difference between the Ojibwe and the English kinship systems. In the Ojibwe system, there are two types of aunts, uncles, and cousins. In the first category are mother's sister and her children and father's brother and his children. These are called PARALLEL aunts. uncles, and cousins because they are related to you through siblings (brothers or sisters) of the same sex. ty of The second category consists of those aunts, uncles and cousins who are related to you through siblings of opposite sexes. In this category are your mother•s brother and his children and your father's sister and her children. These are called CROSS aunts. uncles and cousins. Fa cu l The concepts of "parallel" and "cross" relatives are necessary for understanding the Ojibwe terms for cousins. You will find that parallel cousins use the same terms as "brothers" and "sisters" but crosscousins are designated by different terms. sit y Certain kin terms are used when a male is speaking and others if a female is speaking. In the other cases the meaning of a term may differ depending upon whether the speaker is male or female. The following list includes these specific terms. Remember on your own family chart to use the appropriate terms. Female Speaker (male) niitaawisl niitaa niinim (n)indawemaa (female) (n)indaangoshenh2 niinim (n)indaangwe (n)indawemaa er Male speaker ad U ni v Cross-cousin Brother-in-law Sister-in-law Sibling (sister/brother) of opposite sex3 Q La ke he You will notice that the word for a cross cousin of the opposite sex of EGO in the diagram is similar to the word for brother-in-law (for a female). or sister-in-law (for a male). This similarity probably reflects a very old pattern in which it was common (and even preferred) for a person to marry his cross-cousin~ this pattern still occurs in some areas even during the contemporary period. So, in a way. these crosscousin terms mean "marriageable relative." Check the word for 'mother-in-law• on the next page. Where else on the chart do you find this word? l. The tenn niitaawis refers to father's sister's son. 2. The tenn nindaangoshenh is used by female speakers to refer to mother's brother's daughter or father's sister's daughter. 3. There are separate terms for 'brother' and 'sister' which make other distinctions; these are listed on the following page. 122 0 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE (Western Dialect) - UNIT 2; LESSON 3 Additional Vocabulary (Optional): 3.

Note and underline the part of each word that indicates information is uncertain or there is some doubt about it. Verbs taking this form expressing doubt are said to be DUBITATIVE. A dubitative form indicates that the speaker is unable or unwilling to say for sure that the action/state of the verb has really occurred. The speaker may be unwilling because he did not personally witness the event. or because he has only inferred or supposed the action. He may feel that he has forgoten some details. and so doesn't want to wholly commit himself to what he has said. The dubitative may also be used with knowledge that is of a traditional nature. The dubitative is expressed in English by adding words such as "seems to be," or "must be" to the basic idea. For example: Certain Uncertain He•s sick. He must be sick. He seems to be sick 138 0 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE (Western Dialect) - UNIT 2; LESSON 4 An important difference between the dubitative in Ojibwe and English is in the consistency of its usage. In Ojibwe, most information that you assume or have not personally verified by direct observation is presented in the dubitative. So, if someone tells you something that you have not personally verified, you would normally use a dubitativein Ojibwe if you were to tell anyone else this information. Compare the following sentences. io n Aakozi Bill. at Bill is sick. (I've seen it with my own eyes.) Ed Bill seems to be sick.

Ojibwe speakers distinguish between past activities or states that contrast with the present situation and those that do not. The PRETERIT marker ban indicates an action or state that was cut off in the past and no longer occurs, or an action or state that happened/existed in the remote past. We have already seen the use of pan at the end of a kin term, to indicate the contrast between a former, livin& relationship, and the present. In verbs, this contrast would be expressed in such ideas as: cu l ty "We went there every summer." Fa Nigii-izhaamin endaso-niibing.

Sometimes a speaker wants to indicate that something he is talking about is for some reason not very good.

Check the examples below to see how it is done: ty of Ed 2. The word PEJORATIVE is usually used to denote this "ish" suffix. To give yourself lots of practice in hearing and understanding pejoratives, collect and bring to class "sets" of articles: a regular comb and a comb with missing teeth, a good cup and a cracked or chipped cup, etc. Have your teacher name these things for you. The more articles you bring, the more words you'll hear, and the easier it will be for you to recognize and use pejoratives in your own conversations. mookomaan minikwaajigan makizin waabowayaan apabiwin Fa a. cu l 3.

As well. the glossaries do not present detailed information about all the possible differ- ty ent fonns which many Anishinaabemowin words may take, especially nouns and verbs. cu l There are many Anishinaabemowin words which do not appear in the glossaries.

A complete list of all word class codes io n appears at the end of this section. uc at Nouns animate noun NI inanimate noun of NA Ed There are two main types of nouns, ANIMATE and INANIMATE. Their word class codes are as follows. cu l NA spoon NI cup 0 sit y minikwaajigan -an Fa emikwaan -ag ty Typical entries for each are given here. The head word for a noun is usually the SINGULAR form of the noun. PREFIXES and SUFFIXES may be er added to this form to give extra meaning and grammatical information. The head word for a noun is ni v followed by the form of the PLURAL suffix that the noun takes. This suffix can be added directly to U the head word (minus the hyphen) to make the plural form. So for example, the entry for the noun ad emikwaan 'spoon' given above contains the plural suffix -ag. They can be combined to give the plural form emikwaanag 'spoons.' he There are also two other types of nouns, which are called DEPENDENT nouns. Their word class codes La ke are as follows. NAD dependent animate noun NID dependent inanimate noun Dependent nouns are nouns that must always occur with a POSSESSIVE prefix to indicate who the noun belongs to (the 'possessor'). Dependent nouns are nearly always words for body parts or kinship terms. In this book there are no terms for body parts included, so we will not discuss them further. In the glossary dependent nouns for kinship terms are always given in the form in which the basic word 204 0 �INTRODUCTORY OilBWE GLOSSARY r is preceded by the first-person prefix ni or n. nimaamaa -yag my mother. Stem: /-maamaay-/. NAD The head word is the prefixed form that means 'my mother.' You will see that after the English translation appears the notation 'Stem /-maamaay-/.' The form that is given in angled brackets is n called the STEM. It is the basic form of the word without any prefixes or suffixes. This is the form of io the word that is used when you wish to make other forms of this word by adding prefixes or suf- uc at fixes. For many glossary entries the head word and the stem are identical, so the entry does not need to give any special indication of what the stem is. As with dependent nouns, we will see that other Ed types of words may contain information indicating that the stem is slightly different from the head of word. ty There are also a small number of entries that have the following class code. inanimate noun with participle Fa NI-PT airplane.

U The entries for some transitive animate verbs contain extra information about what the STEM is, as in the following example. You can think of the stem as the most general form of a word once all pre- ad fixes and suffixes have been removed.

But in others the final consonant of the stem is zh, as in command forms such as n the head entry. io If the entry for a transitive animate verb does not contain information about the stem, then other uc at forms of the verb may be made by adding prefixes and suffixes directly to the head word of the VTA see s.o. of waabam Ed entry.

For example, 'I see it' is niwaabandaan, with the first person prefix ni. In other cases the an is changed to am when other endings are added: '(that) I seeit' would be waabandamaan, with the suffix aan.

Students will learn basic vocabulary through listening, speaking, ieading, and writing in Ojibwe. Students will develop basic communication skills in Ojibwe through study and practice. They will also become familiar with the traditional values and culture, which arc vital when working with indigenous people. La k eh ea d U ni ve rs ity ( LET'S BEGIN OUR JOURNEY UP THE RIVER TO DISCO VER SEVERN OJIBW E i �What is Severn Ojibwe? Severn Ojibwe is a dialect of the Ojibwe and Cree language. It is spoken mostly around the Severn River in Northwestern Ontario and areas around it. 0 It is different from Ojibwe spoken in communities south, east, and west of the Severn River uc at io n area. Some people call it an Oji-Cree, an Ojibwe, or even a Cree language. In some ways, Severn Ojibwe is similar to Cree. Today, as many as 5,000 people speak Severn Ojibwe. What is in this subject? Ed There are two units of study, which are used along with cassette tapes. cu lty of In these units, you will be given instructions in English and guided through exercises that go along with the tapes to continue learning basic vocabulary in Severn Ojibwe. You will be studying the one dialect of Severn Ojibwe and will learn through conversa tion both vocabulary and the structure of the language. 0 La k eh ea d U ni ve rs ity Fa At the end of the course of studies, you will be able to carry on a short conversa tion in Severn Ojibwe. 0 ii �SUBJECT OUTLINE Subject Name: Introductory Ojibwe (Severn dialect) Subject Number: OJ 1010 Part One and OJ 1012 Part Two Subject Description: uc at io n The aim of this subject is to provide students with the skills necessary to speak Severn Ojibwe. In this functional and conversational program, students will learn basic vocabulary through listening, speaking, writing and understanding and optional laboratory facilities. Objectives: cu lty of Ed - to understand through conversation the structure of the Severn Ojibwe. - to listen with understanding and to converse at a basic level in the Severn dialect of the Native language. - to pronounce words accurately - to demonstrate effective use of the Severn Ojibwe dialect in culturally appropriate contexts. What is this subject about? Fa This is an introductory Severn Ojibwe subject for students who wish to learn to speak the Severn Ojibwe dialect. It is designed to give practice in conversation using everyday situations that students might encounter as they live and work in a Native community. It can be used to practice Native language by students of Native ancestry or by students from other backgrounds. Leaming a Native language can lead to a better appreciation and understanding of the whole society who uses it. Both Native and non-Native learners can gain a sense of the traditions, the customs, and both the historical and modem view of Native life. What is dialect? ni ve rs ity ( U Generally speaking, dialect means the difference in how words are formed and said. La k eh ea d Linguists, or people skilled in the science of languages, believe dialect shows what area people come from because of the special way that they use a language. Although there are differences in dialect or the way people speak, the root or basic language is still the same. It may be that because of the way Native people once travelled easiest...up and down the river systems ...that areas shared a river system for transportation, the dialect is different. How do these dialects affect how Native people can communicate with one another? Many Native language speakers claim that they can understand most of what speakers of a different dialect are saying. Sometimes misunderstanding does occur. L But most Native language speakers also say that they quickly become familiar with the differences in vocabulary when they need to frequently communicate with speakers of another dialect. iii �Indeed, there are many dialects in the Native language. There is no standard dialect that can be learned and used everywhere. Q uc at io n Two students at Lakehead University, Richard Jourdain and Judith Petch, wrote a paper about how people in different geographical areas say words. Look at the chart below. Then consider how these words might be used in your community.

R. Jourdain and J. Petch, NL 2711 North American Linguistics course, Lakehead University, November 1988. eh Where should the learning begin? La k There is no right or wrong dialect. What is important is to keep the Native language alive and growing in use. Perhaps then, it is Important to become familiar with one dialect of the language to start, and it would be simple from there to learn the differences in sounds of words to learn other dialects. Appreciating the dialects of other communiti es takes a trained ear and a curiosity to understand one another. Perhaps this first step will help to bring a stronger unity among our Native communiti es to keep alive the Native culture. Although people in their own communities must be the ones to decide how to carry on their language through the generations, this advanced course of studies uses Severn Ojibwe. IV 0 �Writing Anihshininilmowin (Severn Ojibwe) In this section we discuss the writing system which is used in all three books in this series. First there is a discussion of the basic letters and combinations of letters which are used to write Anihshininiimowin (Severn Ojibwe). Following this there is a discussion of some issues which arise uc at io n in writing and reading Severn Ojibwe. You do not need to read all the information at once. You may find it helpful to read it over from time to time as you progress through the courses. Some of the topics discussed here will become more understandable to you after you have been exposed to the Ed language for some time. of The Writing System cu lty In this book Severn Ojibwe is written with Roman (alphabetic) letters. Severn Ojibwe uses some of the letters used in writing English. However Severn Ojibwe is written in a way that is more consistent than English writing. Although English writing is basically fairly regular, there are enough writing. When we use letters or combinations of letters in Severn, these consistently represent the ity ( Fa irregularities found in English writing that we would not want to import them into Severn Ojibwe ni ve represent that sound. rs same sound or combination of sounds. Each letter corresponds to a certain sound, and is only used to U Sounds in Severn Ojibwe are divided into two basic types: vowels and consonants. d Vowels ea There are seven vowel sounds in Severn Ojibwe. Vowels are divided into two types: long vowels eh and short vowels. Long vowels take longer to say. With one exception, there is a long vowel corre- La k sponding to each short vowel. In elementary school you may have learned that certain English vowels were long and others were short. However, the way that vowels are analysed as long and short in Severn Ojibwe is different from the way they are presented in English, and you should ignore the English usage. L V �Here is a chart of the long and short vowels. You will learn how they are pronounced in the Q following paragraphs. SHORT ii i 00 0 aa a uc at io n LONG Ed e You can see that the first three long vowels are represented by writing them double. Each is still one of vowel, though. Further, each of the first three long vowels has a corresponding short vowel, and cu lty each short vowel is written with a single letter. The last long vowel, e, has no corresponding short vowel. Because there is no need to indicate a distinction between a long and short e sound, the long Fa e is written with a single letter. You will find that some of the letters do not represent what we might expect them to in English. ity But remember that when we use these letters to write words in Severn Ojibwe, they are Severn Q rs Ojibwe letters! So the letters represent Severn Ojibwe sounds and you should not expect them to be ni ve pronounced the same way they are pronounced in English. Every language has its own rules for how letters are to be pronounced, and Severn Ojibwe is no exception. U Here are some examples of Severn Ojibwe words that contain long vowels. The examples show ea d the vowel in three positions: beginning, middle, and end of a word. The vowel in question in each eh word is written in bold type. The approximate English equivalent of the Ojibwe vowel sound is also La k given.

All the letters used to write consonants are also found in English. Some have a pronunciation very similar to that which they have in Eng- U lish, while others are quite different. d Some of the letters used for consonants are virtually the same as ones used in English: m, n, w, y ea and b. They should not cause you any difficulty. The sounds m, n and w can appear in any position La k eh in a word: beginning, middle, and end. L Phonetic Ojibwe examples mahkisin •shoe' ohomaa 'here' saakaham 'goes out' English equivalent man n name m naape 'man' pine 'partridge' koon 'snow' vii �win waahsa 'far' kaawin 'no' waaw 'egg' w 0 English equivalent yes Phonetic Ojibwe examples y kiiyaapic 'still' ehshay 'oh yuck!' uc at io n The sound y never appears at the beginning of a word. Ed The sound h never appears at the end of a word. As well, it only appears at the beginning of a word of if a preceding short vowel is optionally dropped. For example, ohomaa 'here' is often pronounced cu lty and spelled homaa. English equivalent him Fa Phonetic Ojibwe examples h ohowe 'this' ity The remaining six consonants (p, t, k, c, s, sh) occur in both a weak and a strong form. In their 0 rs weak form, these consonants may occur anywhere in a word: at the beginning, in the middle, or at ni ve the end of a word. They may not be preceded by the consonant h, but they may be preceded by any of the other consonants or a vowel. The weak consonants may have slightly different pronunciation U depending upon where they appear in a word. For example, at the end of a word the letter p usually d sounds the same as it does in English. But when it appears in the middle of a word it may sound ea more like an English b. You may also find that the Severn p sound resembles a weakly pronounced eh b at the beginning of a word. Listen carefully as your instructor or another fluent Severn speaker La k says these words and see if you can notice the difference. You may find that there is a minor amount of variation in how these letters are pronounced by different speakers. Notice also that in Severn Ojibwe the sequence of letters sh is used to represent a single sound even though two letters are used. In the examples that follow, each Severn Ojibwe sound corresponds to two sounds in the En- glish equivalent column. The second English equivalent sound is the one that occurs between vowel (or between norm and a vowel sound; see the discussion below in the 'Spelling Notes' section). viii 0 �Sound p English equivalent pit. bit Ojibwe examples pine 'partridge• tepwe 'really' acitamoo ·squirrel' kekaat 'nearly' time. dime C ciimaan 'canoe• kohtaaci 'he/she is afraid' kiimooc 'secretly' chip.judge k kiin 'you' naakosi 'he/she is visible' kotak 'other• keep, game s saakahikan 'lake• aahkosi 'he/she is sick' waapoos 'rabbit' sit. zip sh shiihshiip 'duck• peshik 'one' piish 'bring him!'

These Q SPELLING NOTES ni ve rs are discussed separately below, in the first point of the 'Spelling Notes' section. U 1. Pronunciation of 'n' and 'm' before weak consonants ea d 1.0 Severn Ojibwe allows a combination of the letters n or m followed by one of the weak conso- eh nants. However, there is a very important difference found in Severn Ojibwe which influences the La k pronunciation of these sequences. There are three different groups of communities in which Severn Ojibwe is spoken in northern Ontario. (A) West Severn: Bearskin Lake, Muskrat Dam, Sachigo Lake, Big Trout Lake, Wapekeka (Angling Lake) (B) East Severn: Kingfisher Lake; Wunnumin Lake, Kasabonika Lake 0 (C) Sandy Lake: X �Sandy Lake. Deer Lake, North Spirit Lake The way people speak is very similar in these three areas. However, in West Severn communities the sounds n and m are not pronounced when they appear before a weak consonant. So in the words piintike 'he/she comes inside' nc oncii 'he/she is from there• pehshonc 'near. close• nk pankii 'a little bit' maank 'loon' ns onsaam 'too much' nimihsens 'my older sister' nsh akaahshenshi 'he/she is small' kinwensb 'a long time' Ed nt Fa cu lty of Ojibwe examples ompiki 'he/she grows up• rs ity ( Sounds mp uc at io n in the table below then and m sounds in bold type are 'silent.' ni ve THE FOLLOWING IS VERY IMPORTANT: In these books these 'silent' letters are written in all words in which they are pronounced in East U Severn and Sandy Lake. ea d So, if your instructor is from a West Severn community you will find that there are words in eh which n and m are written but not pronounced. You should listen carefully to your instructor or to a La k fluent speaker to determine if they pronounce norm in words of this type. Writing these words with n and m allows these books to be used by instructors from a wide variety of Severn Ojibwe communities. 1.1 There are some common grammatical endings that are affected by this form of variation. They are briefly reviewed here. More information about each of these grammatical topics can be found in the appropriate section of the textbooks. L xi �1.2 The 'locative' suffix indicates the location where something is happening. This suffix usually 0 Ordinary Noun Locative Form of Noun tehsapiwin 'chair' ahkihk 'kettle' tehsapiwink 'on the chair' ahkihkonk 'in the kettle• uc at io n ends in nk. In West Severn communities, the n is silent. 1.3 Verbs may add a suffix to indicate the negative form of the verb. ff the verb ends in n or m then Ed that sound will be silent when the suffix is added. Negative Verb minwentam 'he/she is glad' kitayamihin 'I talk to you• kaawin minwentansiin 'he/she is not glad' kaawin kitayamihinsinoon' 'I don't talk to you' cu lty of Ordinary Verb 1.4 Some verbs may add a suffix k to indicate a third-person subject. If the verb ends in n then that Fa sound will be silent when the ending is added. Verb with Suffix Ordinary Verb pipoon 'it is winter' ity pipoonk '(that) it is winter' waapank 'be tomorrow' 0 ni ve rs waapan 'it is dawn' There are some Inanimate Intransitive verbs which end in the sound n, but behave differently when U the suffix k is added. A very small number of these verbs shift the n to h when a grammatical end- d ing such ask 'third-person inanimate' is added. Endingk ihkihk '(that) it happens' eh ea No ending ihkin 'it happens• La k A few words of this type will appear in the materials presented in your textbooks. There is no special rule for telling which verbs which end in n will shift their final n to h when the suffix is added. You should simply make note of the fact that they do occur. As well, if the verb ends in m then that sound is written n when the suffix k is added, but the n is still silent (n is written here because that is what is pronounced in East Severn and Sandy Lake). Ordinary Verb Verb with Suffix minwentam 'he/she is glad' inentam 'he/she thinks' minwentank '(that) he/she is glad' inentank '(that) he/she thinks' xii 0 �1.5 There is a very small number of words in which n and m are always pronounce d before weak consonants. These are usually very short words, such as the following. nt Ojibwe examples aanti 'where?' aanta 'some' kwanta 'no reason' naanta 'maybe' uc at io n Sounds Ed As well, there are many verbs in Severn Ojibwe which contain a suffix entam or entan. In these words the n before the t is always pronounced. cu lty of Ojibwe examples minwentam 'he/she is happy' macentam 'he/she is sad' Sounds nt Fa 2. Pronunciation of 'o' after 's,' 't,' 'n,' 'c' In Severn Ojibwe the pronunciation of the short o sound may sometimes sound more like a short i ity when o is preceded by one of the consonants s, t, n, or c. Listen carefully when your instructor or a Sounds pimipiso 'he/she is driving by' d ea s Ojibwe examples ihkito 'he/she says' U t ni ve variation, but some do. rs Severn Ojibwe speaker says the following words. You may find that not all speakers display this minohpikw an 'it tastes good' eh n To be consistent, we still write these words with the letter o. La k ( 3. Dropping of short vowels When you listen to people say words in Severn Ojibwe you may notice that sometimes the short vowel i is not pronounce d even though it is included in the written fonn of the word. This is particularly common in the middle of a word, but is rare at the beginning of a word. It does not happen at the end of a word. Xlll �H you listen to someone say the following word you may find that the short vowel i in the second 0 syllable is not pronounced. pimlpiso 'he/she drives' Similarly the short vowels in the second and fourth syllables of the following word may not be uc at io n pronounced. Anihshinini 'Indian, person' In the writing system used in these publications we write these vowels even if they are not always pronounced. You may find that there is some variation in the way different speakers pronounce Ed words that contain short i. Listen carefully and you will become familiar with the rhythm of words in of Severn Ojibwe. cu lty You may be aware that something similar happens in English. For example, often the first syllable of English 'suppose' is not pronounced, but English speakers write the word with the vowel letter included just the same. Fa 4. Pronunciation variation of 'i' ity Sometimes the letter I sounds more like o when it is next to the sounds m, p, or w. Listen carefully as ni ve kimlwan 'it is raining' 0 rs someone says the following word. You may hear an o between them and thew, rather than an i. Similarly you may hear an o in the third syllable of the following word. U tehsapiwin 'chair' d This type of variation is very common. All three of the sounds m, p, and w are produced with the lips ea in a rounded position, as is o. Try making these sounds while looking in a mirror and observe the eh position of your lips. When the sound i, which is not made with the lips in a rounded position, ap- La k pears next to one of these sounds, it often will be pronounced like an o, because the rounding of the lips is being transferred from one sound to an adjacent one. We will write i in these words. 0 xiv �SYLLABICS CHARI' (with alphabetic equivalents) FINALS WEST b. t> e i 0 WEST '\}. b. • t> • we wi WO • b. • C> V pe I\ pi > po u n :) te ti to q p ke ki '1 ce < C ta C pa cu lty ko r J L ci co ca r J C L > a.

The language has a structural rule that divides all nouns into two classes, called GENDER. One gender is called "animate". In this gender, are found all living things, animals, birds, reptiles, bugs, people, etc., and also some other things such as stars, tobacco, drums, fishnets, and kettles that we don' t usually think of as living. The other gender is called "inanimate", and in it are found all the nouns that are not animate. Since there is no way to figure out whether a noun is animate or inanimate, you will just have to remember each one. Ed You have already learned the gender of 24 nouns. ff you say "piish" with a noun, it's because it's an animate noun. ff you say "piitoon", it's because the noun is inanimate. For writing and thinking practice, you may now rewrite all 24 nouns with either "piish/animate or piitoon/inanimate. ity Fa cu lty of (Note: Some people use the word "piiciwish" or "piicowish" instead of "piish".)

They seem to follow a fairly regular pattern. What information do you understand from ..ni-" at the beginning of a verb? What information do you understand from "ki-" at the beginning? Notice the verb listed for pictures 5, 8, 11. Is there anything different about these examples? How do you account for these irregularities? (The added "t" is just slipped in to make the word easier to pronounce, in much the same way we add and "n" in English phrases such as ..an apple".) 51 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE - UNIT 1; LESSON S Notice too, that the first and second person forms of the verb sometimes keep the final vowel and sometimes drop it. From your own observation, can you think of any ..rule" you could make to predict when the vowel will drop? The third person form of the verb is also the verb STEM. Aan entootamaan? Kinikam. Aan entootank? Nikamo. Ed ~nikam. Continue working in pairs and take turns going through all twelve verbs. both asking and answering questions.

For example, if you call someone with whom you're going on a trip, and say, "We'll be leaving at six," you are including the person you're talking to in the "we" you use. This kind of "we" is expressed in examples like the following: Kinikamomin Kipaahpimin Kitanohkiimin Kipootawemin uc at io n Kitaahkosimin Kimasinahikemin Kimawimin Kikiiwemin Kiwiihsinimin Q Ed This form of the verb is called the first person plural inclusive. It corresponds to the pronoun kiinawint which we introduced above in 1. The important thing to remember about the inclusive is that the person doing the action or asking the question is included among those that the verb or pronoun refers to. For example, if we ask the following question, of Aan entootamak? What are we (inclusive) doing? cu lty then we could answer with any of the inclusive verb forms above. 0 Nikiishitepomin Nipootawemin Nitanohkiimin U ni ve Nimasinahikemin Nikohtaacimin Niwii-wiihsinimin Nitepi-wiihsinimin Ninipaamin rs Niminihkwemin ity Fa 3. The English word "we" can also mean I and someone else (him/her/them), but not you. For example, if you call someone who is not going on the trip with you, you may say, "We will be leaving at six." This "we" is different from the inclusive "we", because that "we" INCLUDES the person you're talking to, while the exclusive "we" EXCLUDES the person you're talking to. This second kind of "we" is expressed in the following: eh ea d This form of the verb is called the first person plural exclusive. It corresponds to the pronoun niinawint which we introduced above in 1. The important thing to remember about the exclusive is that the person doing the action or asking the question is excluded from those that the verb or pronoun refers to. For example, if we ask the following question, What are you (plural) doing? La k Aan entootamek? then we could answer with any of the exclusive verb forms above. 4. Since English speakers don't make a distinction between the two meanings of "we" you will have to pay close attention to these ideas for awhile, until they become automatic to you. Take extra time to Review these two kinds of "we". Answer the following questions. What part of both sets of words is the same?_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ What part is different between the first and second sets?_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ In which set of words are the speaker excluded?_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ 94 0 �INTRODUCTORY OilBWE · UNIT 2; LESSON 2 Using What You Have Learned: 5.

Roughly, the subject of a sentence is the person or thing that is doing the action, or in some cases, the person or thing that is being described. The ~ is the person or thing that the action is being done to, or in some way is affected by the verb. If you look at the English translations in the box above, you can see how these rough definitions apply. Fa Which of the following verbs are transitive and which are intransitive?

In Ojibwe, there are two words for "aunt". The first is used for your father's sister(s) and the other is used for your mother's sister(s). The same division is found with the word for uncle. In Ojibwe, there are two terms whereas in English there is but one. Q uc at io n This is just the beginning of an important difference between the Ojibwe and the English kinship systems. In the Ojibwe system, there are two types of aunts, uncles, and cousins. In the first category are mother's sister and her children and father's brother and his children. These are called "parallel" aunts, (uncles and cousins) because they are related to you through siblings {brothers or sisters) of the same sex. of Ed The second category consists of those aunts, uncles and cousins who are related to you through siblings of opposite sexes. In this category are your mother's brother and his children and your father's sister and her children. These are called "cross" aunts, uncles and cousins. cu lty The concepts of "parallel" and "cross" relatives are necessary for understanding the Ojibwe terms for cousins. You will find that parallel cousins use the same terms as "brothers" and "sisters" but crosscousins are designated by different terms. ni ve rs Male speaker (female) niinim niihtaawihs niinim nitawemaa niicihkiwesi Female Speaker (male) niinim niinim nicaahkohsh niitihkwe nitawemaa 0 U Cross-cousin Brother-in-law Sister-in-law sister {unspecified)* brother (unspecified)* ity Fa Certain kin terms are used when a male is speaking and others if a female is speaking. The following list covers these specific terms. Remember on your own family chart to use the appropriate terms. ea d *"unspecified" means whether older or younger. La k eh You will notice that the word for a cross cousin of the opposite sex of EGO in the diagram is the same as the word for brother-in-law (for a female), or sister-in-law (for a male). This is because traditionally it was common (and even preferred) for a person to marry his cross-cousin. So, in a way, these crosscousin terms mean "marriageable relative". Ask your instructor for the words for mother-in-law and father-in-law. Where else on the chart do you find these words? 0 122 �INTRODUCTORY OllBWE - UNIT 2; LESSON 3 Additional Vocabulary (Optional): 3. Below is a basic chart of the Ojibwe family.

Note and underline the part ofeach word that indicates information is uncertain or there is some doubt about it. Verbs taking this form expressing doubt are said to be eh DUBITATIVE. La k A dubitative form indicates that the speaker is unable or unwilling to say for sure that the action/state of the verb has really occurred. The speaker may be unwilling because he did not personally witness the event, or because he has only inferred or supposed the action. He may feel that he has forgoten some details, and so doesn't want to wholly commit himself to what he has said. The dubitative may also be used with knowledge that is of a traditional nature. The dubitative is expressed in English by adding words such as "seems to be", or "must be" to the basic idea For example: Certain Uncertain He's sick. He must be sick. He seems to be sick 138 0 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE - UNIT 2; LESSON 4 An important difference between the dubitative in Ojibwe and English is in the consistency of its usage. Aahkosi Bill. Bill is sick.

(I've heard it, but haven't seen it.) uc at io n In Ojibwe, most information that you assume or have not personally verified by direct observation is presented in the dubitative. So, if someone tells you something that you have not personally verified, you would normally use a dubitative in Ojibwe if you were to tell anyone else this information.

Ojibwe speakers distinguish between past activities or states that contrast with the present situation and those that do not. The PRETERIT marker "pan" indicates an action or state that was cut off in the past and no longer occurs, or an action or state that happened/existed in the remote past. We have already seen the use of "pan" at the end of a kin term, to indicate the contrast between a former, li,ying, relationship, and the present. In verbs, this contrast would be expressed in such ideas as: cu lty "We went there every summer." Nikii-ishaamin tahso-niipin. (Inference: "and we still do.") Fa Nikii-ishaaminiilW} tahso-niipin. (Inference: "but we no longer do.") 0 ity "He got married five years ago. ni ve rs Kii-wiikito niyaananoyahki otaanaank. (Inference: "and is still married.")

Listen very carefully as your instructor pronounces the words. After you have heard each word several times, list the words that you don't know the meaning of. The instructor will give you proper translations. Q More About Preterits: uc at io n There are many cases of preterit use in Ojibwe that are not matched by English equivalents. Therefore, it will be important for you to listen carefully to fluent speakers, note when they use "-pan" and think about what they mean. Gradually, as you grasp the idea, you'll be able to start using the preterit in you own speech. 3. Here are some dialogues in which the preterit is used. Ask your instructor to read them to you, and to explain any words you're not sure of: English translation on page 190. Aanti kiicihkiwesi e-ayaac? Peshiko maacaapan hsha ntiko.

Sometimes a speaker wants to indicate that something he is talking about is for some reason not very good. In English he may describe it as: DMtX, useless, poorly made. broken down. &ood-fornothin&. worn-out, and the like. In Ojibwe, all these ideas (and more!) are conveyed in one neat way. Check the examples below to see how it is done: uc at io n ahkihkolw) pimitewibm waawmm ciimaanibm waakaahikanibsh paashkisikanilw} of Ed 2. The word PEJORATIVE is usually used to denote this "ihsh" suffix. To give yourself lots of practice in hearing and understanding pejoratives, collect and bring to class "sets" of articles: a regular comb and a comb with missing teeth, a good cup and a cracked or chipped cup, etc. Have your teacher name these things for you. The more articles you bring, the more words you'll hear, and the easier it will be for you to recognize and use pejoratives in your own conversations. b. ishkotehkaanaapihk wiiskwehokaan wiihsiniiwinaahtik piihsimohkaan pimihsewin wanihiikan rs ity moohkomaan minihkwaakan matikwaan Fa mahkisin waapoyaan tehsapiwin a.

An expression, roughly translated as "yuk!" carries the pejorative sound: ihshay! b. Like the diminutive, the pejorative may be used also as a term of affection. Ask your teacher for examples of this. c. Sometimes you may have occasion to use both the dimunitive and the pejorative endings at the same time. If you do, your word will sound something like this: ciimaanenhsihsh 147 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE - UNIT 2; LESSON 5 Which ending comes first?

The glossaries contains listings of basic words (word stems) and some prefixes. In order to make the glossaries more useful we will explain the way that entries are organized and the information they contain. We will treat the Anihshininiimowin-English and English- uc at io n Anihshininiimowin sections separately, because they are organized differently. The glossaries are intended only to be a listing of words used in the books in this series. Because there are often local variations in pronunciation and vocabulary, students are encouraged to make Ed notes in the glossaries about aspects of the usage and vocabulary of their instructor which are not of already indicated there. As well, the glossaries do not present detailed information about all the possible different forms which many Anihshininiimowin words may take, especially nouns and cu lty verbs. Fa In both sections the following alphabetic order is used for Anihshininiimowin words, in which long vowels are sorted after the corresponding short vowels: h e 1 ii k m n 0 00 p s sh t w y ity c rs ANIHSIUNINIIMOWIN-ENGLISH GLOSSARY ni ve In the Anihshininiimowin-English section, each entry contains at least an Anihshininiimowin HEAD woRD, an abbreviation for the WORD CLASS code, and an English translation, as in the following entry. U Notice that the Anihshininiimowin head word is in bold print, the word class code is in italic type, ea d and the English translation is in plain type. eh kiiwe vai go home, return La k ( a aa Each Anihshininiimowin word is assigned a word class code. We will review examples of each type, and will explain the types of information which may be found in entries for different word classes. Nouns There are two main types of nouns, ANIMATE and INANIMATE. Their word class codes are as follows. na animate noun ni inanimate noun 203 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE GLOSSARY Typical entries for each are given here. 0 ahcaap -iik na bow uc at io n minihkwaakan -an ni cup The head word for a noun is usually the SINGULAR form of the noun. PREFlxEs and SUFFIXES may be added to this form to give extra meaning and grammatical infonnation. The head word for a noun is followed by the form of the PLURAL suffix that the noun takes. This suffix can be added directly to Ed the head word (minus the hyphen) to make the plural form. So for example, the entry for the noun ahcaap 'bow' given above contains the plural suffix -iik. They can be combined to give the plural of form ahcaaplik 'bows.' are as follows. dependent animate noun nid dependent inanimate noun Fa nad cu lty There are also two other types of nouns, which are called DEPENDENT nouns. Their word class codes Dependent nouns are nouns that must always occur with a POSSESSIVE prefix to indicate who the noun ity belongs to (the 'possessor'). Dependent nouns are nearly always words for body parts or kinship 0 rs terms. In the glossary dependent nouns for kinship terms are always given in the form in which the ni ve basic word is preceded by the first-person prefix ni or n. U nimihsens -ak nad my older sister (E). Stem: /-mihses-/. Also: nimihsens (W) d The head word is the prefixed form that means 'my older sister.• You will see that after the English ea translation appears the notation 'Stem: /-mihses/. • The fonn that is given in angled brackets is called eh the STEM. It is the basic form of the word without any prefixes or suffixes. This is the form of the La k word that is used when you wish to make other forms of this word by adding prefixes or suffixes. For many glossary entries the head word and the stem are identical, so the entry does not need to give any special indication of what the stem is. As with dependent nouns, we will see that other types of words may contain information indicating that the stem is slightly different from the head word. Entries for dependent nouns for body parts are slightly different from those for kinship terms. They are given in the form that contains the prefix mi or m, which means 'someone's.' Here is an exam- ~ 204 0 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE GLOSSARY misit -an nid foot. Stem: /-sit-/ Note that the entry is indicates what the stem of the word is. There are also a small number of entries that have the following class code: uc at io n animate noun with participle na-pt of kaa-tahkwekisoc plihsim na-pt shorter month, February Ed Entries of this type are mostly only found with names for months of the year. This is a noun which consists of two parts. The first part is a participle form of an Animate Intransi- noun (in this case piihsim 'moon, month') Verbs cu lty tive verb (in this case kaa-tahkwekisoc 'the one which is shorter') and the second part is an animate Fa Apart from nouns, there are several different types of VERBS. We will first discuss the two main types JECT but no OBJECT. Their word class codes are as follows. animate intransitive verb vai2 animate intransitive verb (-mn/.rul) vai+o ni ve rs vai animate intransitive verb+ object U The head word for any animate intransitive verb is usually the THIRD-PERSON singular form, that is, d the one that means 'he/she is... ' Such forms have no prefix or suffix on the head entry. eh ea Here is a typical entry for an animate intransitive (vai) verb. anohkll vai work La k ( ity of INTRANSmVE verbs. ANIMATE INTRANSmVB verbs are those that have an animate grammatical SUB- The class of animate intransitive verbs referred to as vai2 are very similar to animate intransitive verbs of the vai class. Here is the entry for a typical example. saakaham vai2 go out, exit The entry for a verb of the vai2 class will always have a head word that ends in am. Vai2 verbs are 205 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE GLOSSARY slightly different than other animate intransitive verbs because in any form that involves a FIRST- or SECOND-PERSON the end of the verb stem changes. For example the first-person form for the vai2 verb stem just mentioned is nisaakahaan 'I go out' (first person). 0 There is one other type of animate intransitive verb, refererred to as vai+o. Verbs of this class uc at io n resemble ordinary verbs of the vai class, but frequently occur with a grammatical object. There are not many verbs of this type, and only a few are used in the books in this series. Here is an entry for a verb of this type. those that have a grammatically inanimate subject but no gram- of INANIMATE INTRANSITIVE verbs are Ed ataawe vai+o buy s.t. inanimate intransitive verb vii cu lty matical object. There is only one word class code for inanimate intransitive verbs.

' Such forms have no prefix or suffix on the head entry. 0 ni ve rs ahte vii be in a certain place ity Here is a typical entry for an inanimate intransitive (vii) verb. Some animate intransitive verbs, particularly verbal forms of numbers, always occur in a plural form. In the glossary the head entry is the third-person plural form (the form that means 'they ... '). U As a result the head entry consists of the basic verb stem and the third-person plural suffix, usually ea d wak. The stem is identified between diagonal slashes. Here is an example. La k eh nihsiwak vai be three. Stem: /nihsi-/ Similarly, some inanimate intransitive verbs, particularly verbal forms of numbers, always occur in a plural form. In the glossary the head entry is the third-person plural form (the form that means 'they (inanimate) ... '). As a result the head entry consists of the basic verb stem and the third-person plural suffix, usually oon. The stem is identified between diagonal slashes. Here is an example. nihsinoon vii be three. Stem: /nihsin-/ 0 206 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE GLOSSARY Transitive verbs are those that have a subject and an object. There are several different types of transitive verbs. Their word class codes are as follows. transitive animate verb vti transitive inanimate verb (-mn/-ruu vti2 transitive inanimate verb (-QQ) vti3 transitive inanimate verb (-i) uc at io n via All transitive verbs have a grammatically animate subject. TRANSITIVE ANIMATE verbs are those that have a grammatically animate object. Ed For transitive animate verbs, the head word of the glossary entry is always the form of the verb that means you are telling someone to do the action to someone, or to some entity that is grammatically of animate (this is called the IMPERATIVE form). The entries for some transitive animate verbs contain extra information about what the stem is, as in cu lty the following example. Fa amo vta eat s.o. Stem: /amw-/ stem of the word. To make other forms of the word, prefixes and suffixes are added to the form rs ( ity The head word is still the imperative form, but you will notice there is extra information about the ni ve between the diagonal slashes, rather than to the head word. The head word for some transitive animate verbs ends in sh. When a transitive animate verb ends in U sh, the stem is not identical to the head word. ea d milsh vta give (s.t.) to s.o. Stem: /miiN-/ eh Notice that the stem of this word is given in the entry as /miiN-/. The capital N means that in certain La k forms the final consonant of the stem is an n sound, as in nimiinaa 'I give it to him/her' (with prefix ni and suffix aa). But in others the final consonant of the stem is sh, as in command forms such as the head entry. If the entry for a transitive animate verb does not contain information about the stem, then other forms of the verb may be made by adding prefixes and suffixes directly to the head word of the entry. Here is a typical example. l., kanawaapam vta look at s.o. 207 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE GLOSSARY Notice also that the entries for transitive animate verbs given above all contain the abbreviation 's.o.' This is short for 'someone.' We know that the grammatical object of a transitive animate verb 0 must be animate, and so it may refer to a human being, an animal, or anything else that is classified uc at io n as animate in Anihshininiimowin. For convenience, we use the abbreviation 's.o.• to refer to any of these possibilities. Ed Here is a typical entry for a TRANSITIVE INANIMATE verb which has the word class code vti. of caakisan vti burn s.t. cu lty Verbs of this class nearly always have a head word that ends in an. To make other forms of verbs of this class it is necessary to change the final an to aan for many of the forms that will be used in the books of these series. For example, 'I am burning it up' is nicaakisaan, with the first person prefix Fa ni. More rarely the an is changed to am when other endings are added: '(that) I bum it up· would be caakisamaan, with the suffix aan. ity Here is a typical entry for a transitive inanimate verb which has the word class code vti2. 0 rs ahtoon vti2 put s.t. in a certain place. Stem: /ahtoo-/ ni ve Verbs of the vti2 class contain a long vowel oo at the end of the basic stem. The final n which follows the long oo in the head word is a suffix found in the command forms. You will find that nearly U all of the different forms of words of the vti2 class which you will learn also have a suffix of the formn. ea d There are very few verbs of the vti3 class. Here is an example. La k eh miicin vti3 eat s.t. Stem: /miici-/ The n at the end of the head word is an imperative suffix. As with the vti2 verbs, most of the forms of vti3 forms that you will learn also have a suffix of the form n. The entries for transitive inanimate verbs given above all contain the abbreviation 's.t.' This is short for 'something.' We know that the grammatical object of a transitive inanimate verb must be inanimate, and so it may refer to anything that is classified as inanimate in Anihshininiimowin. For convenience, we use the abbreviation 's.t.' in glossary entries. 0 Particles 208 �INTRODUCTORY onBWE GLOSSARY There are several other word classes in Anihshininiimowin. There are two different types of PARTICLES. This term is used to refer to words that do not take any prefixes or suffixes to indicate informa- tion such as person or number. Here are the word class codes for the two types of particles. pc uninflected particle nu number particle uc at io n The term 'uninflected particle' emphasizes that these particles never take suffixes for what are sometimes called 'inflectional' information, such as person and number. Here is a typical entry for of mitoni pc really, entirely so, completely. Also: tetako Ed an uninflected particle. The number particles are forms of numbers which never take any prefixes or suffixes. Here is a cu lty typical entry for a number particle. Fa peshik nu one rs number particles. Some may be verbs, prenouns, or preverbs. ni ve Pronouns The word class code for PRONOUNS is as follows. pronoun U pr ea d Here is an example of a entry for a pronoun. eh niin pr I, me. [first person singular personal pronoun] Prenouns and Preverbs La k ( ity In Anihshininiimowin, numbers may take many different forms.

However there are certain word classes whose members never occur on their own, but must always be fol- lowed by another word. pren prenoun prev preverb pre preverb and prenoun A PRENOUN must always be directly followed by a noun. The head word of the entry for a prenoun is 209 �INTRODUCTORY OHBWE GLOSSARY always followed by a hyphen. to indicate that the prenoun must be followed by a noun. Because prenouns may be followed by many different nouns, the entry for a prenoun does not attempt to list any of the possible combinations (examples will be presented in several different lessons in the 0 uc at io n books in this series). A typical example of an entry for a prenoun follows. sblipaa- pren beneath A PREVERB must always be directly followed by a verb. The head word of the entry for a preverb is Ed always followed by a hyphen, to indicate that the preverb must be followed by a verb. Because preverbs may be followed by many different verbs, the entry for a preverb does not attempt to list of any of the possible combinations (examples will be presented in several different lessons in the cu lty books in this series). A typical example of an entry for a preverb follows. Fa saakici- prev out ni ve kihci- pre big, great, very 0 rs to these. A typical entry is as follows. ity Some elements may be used both as a preverb and as a prenoun. The word class code pre is assigned U Other Information in Glossary Entries Some glossary entries contain information about sub-dialects of Anihshininiimowin. In the section ea d 'Writing Anihshininiimowin (Severn Ojibwe)' we discussed how in the 'Western' Anihshininiimowin communities, such as Bearskin Lake and Muskrat Dam, the sound n is not eh pronounced before another consonant. Information about pronunciation variation is recorded in La k glossary entries, such as the following one. kwayaancil vai get ready, prepare (E). Also: kwayaacii (W) This notation '(E)' indicates that the head word reflects the 'Eastern' pronunciation, which includes the sound n before the c. As an alternative form, the entry also includes the 'Western' form of the word, in which then before c is dropped (the 'W' indicates that it is the 'Western' form):kwayaacii 0 (W). 210 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE GLOSSARY Some entries also include infonnation about alternative pronunciations of the word, as in the following entry. uc at io n aha pr that. Also: ahawe. [animate singular demonstrative] Note that this entry also contains further infonnation about the head word in square brackets. A few entries for preverbs contain an abbreviation 'IC' in their translation. of Ed waa- prev will, want to. IC< wii- This abbreviation refers to INrnAL CHANGE, which is a change in the pronunciation of the vowel in cu lty the first syllable of certain forms of verbs. The notation 'IC<Wii-' means that waa- is the fonn of the preverb wil- which has undergone Initial Change. Wii- also has an entry. The differences in the Fa use of waa- and wii- are explained in the lessons. rs lshi- prev to. Also: in a certain place, in a certain way. Also: shi-. IC> eshi- ni ve The notation 'IC> eshi-' means that the fonn of the preverb ishi- with Initial Change is eshi-. U Now look at the following entry, which also makes use of the right-pointing arrowhead. ea d ishinihkaaso vai be called or named a certain way. IC> eshinihkaaso= eh The entry for this verb tells us what the form of the basic verb is when it has Initial Change. However there is an equal sign(=) at the end of the form with Initial Change. This is to indicate that La k ( ity Some entries may also tell you what the fonn with Initial Change is. appropriate endings need to be added. For example if you were asking 'someone what their name was you would need to add the suffix yan 'second-person Conjunct Order': Aan eshinihkaasoyan? 'What is your name?' You will also find that other entries contain an arrowhead'>' or'<.' amohsha pc it is indeed. < amii ohsha 2 11 �INTRODUCTORY OJIBWE GLOSSARY The left-pointing arrowhead indicates that the head word is based on a sequence of words which are 0 contracted, much like English 'don't' is a contraction of 'do not.' uc at io n Some entries may also contain further information about related words, as in the following. naanilmi vai keep on dancing. Reduplication of: niimi The notation 'Reduplication of: niimi' indicates that the head word is related to the separate word Ed niimi 'he/she dances' by a pattern of word formation called REDUPLICATION. In this case reduplication involves copying the first consonant of the shorter word at the beginning of the word and adding the of vowel aa, as if the basic word niimi is modified and becomes n-aa-niimi (the hyphens are only used for illustrative purposes and are not normally written). The meaning of the reduplicated word is cu lty related to the shorter word, but slightly different. Hence niimi means 'he/she dances,• but naaniimi means 'he/she keeps on dancing.' ity Fa ENGLISH-ANIHSIDNINIIMOWIN GLOSSARY In the English-Anihshininiimowin section the head word is an English word or phrase. Each head word may include reference to one or more Anihshininiimowin words. The following entry contains Q ni ve rs information about one Anihshininiimowin term.
