Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. |
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. 16: The first letter of ewotchi may just be a flourish. |
| 2 | V. 24: /h/ in /kuouijechimauwag/ may be a word break symbol (dash). |
| 3 | V. 27: /tchi/ is written above ep in /epokichimoken/; I believe it was to be inserted after the /e/. |
