For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. |
Notes:
| In the Potawatomi text, letters in brackets could not be read with certainty. Words added to the English translation are enclosed in brackets. The Jesuits constructed an elaborate orthography that utilized diacritical marks extensively. Occasionally, more than one such mark was associated with a single letter. In that event, the second diacritical mark follows the letter with which it is associated in the manuscript. Similarly, when the html symbol set does not include the letter/diacritical mark combination, the diacritical mark is inserted after the letter. In chapter 22, verse 18, /enemę¨kasoũe¯g/ demonstrates both of these situations. | ||||||

1 |
V. 3: In Gailland's manuscript, /wapiëchiät/ has
/nimú/ written above /apië/. It appears that /wanimúpiëchiät/ is
intended. |
2 |
V. 5: In /kekię¨pichôdjig/, ¨ is written above ę.
This indicates that it is to be "pronounced with a slight guttural
sound aspirated" in Gailland's orthography. (Preface to Dictionary, pg.
2) |
3 |
V. 5: A curve open upward, familiar to students of
phonics as indicating a short sound, was written above the o in
/nebo°djig/. That symbol is not available in the font we are using, so
we are using /°/ in its place. "Vowels marked on the top with this
mark are short, and generally, scarcely, or not pronounced at all."
