Lesson 13 - Say That in Abenaki

Say That In Abenaki -Ida ni Alnobaiwi

Several language source documents, including some
historically old works, are used to create this section
of the newsletter. 
Past words were from the Masta works of 1938 and 
the Joseph Laurent dialogues of 1884.  In the last issue 
the language lesson was focused on the pronunciation 
basics as presented by Cecile Wawanolett of Odanak. 
This issue will continue using some basic words 
that illustrate the pronunciation rules: 
 8 = ô (Nasal "O(n)" sound)

M8ji			Moji
Mo(n)'-dze		Moh'-dze
Go Away			Shit

Note the similarities of these two words - but they have 
very different meanings.
