Notebook #51: 1 Winnebago V, #10: 22 Winnebago V, #13: 1

	Stylistic Features
	hapaxlegomena: -regixjį, "nothing but"; čiči, "house" (< či, "lodge"); gigišja, "go and see" (emphatic of gišja, "to go and see"); hačičija, "(exactly) where," an emphatic form of hačija, "where"; hagawagasgeižąxjį, an emphatic version of hagagasgeižą ("it is ever thus"); hagoreira for hagoreižą, "finally, in the course of time, etc."; harajawi, "to be a disgrace"; hinąšarašarač, "they kicked something over" (cf. Miner: nąšárač — "to kick at something so that it rolls away"); hokirušo (?), "to cover over"; honąt’isič, "to be filled up"; horuxguč, "to look" (for horuxúč); hosųč, "very near" (cf. Miner, "hipusų́ — I am near, I am approaching"); k’į, "to carry" (a variant of gį); ka’e, "that"; kšu, "to place" (found only in Marino); kuruša, "to drop" (found only in Marino); mąja, "country(side), scenery" (found only in Marino); najixgą, "to be disgusted"; nąšarajare, "to kick something over"; raxuxux, "crushing her up in her mouth", the emphatic of raxúx, "to break something brittle with the mouth" (Lipkind, Miner); rejakias, "to take flight"; šišawi, "they were dead" (< šiš, "to be broken"); sososox, "to rattle on" (an emphatic of sosóx); wajerokejere, "underskirt" ("the one such that it is contained with the skirt"); wakaraki, "with them" (instead of wakarakižu); wakarana, "with hiim" (instead of wakarakižu); warakižu, "with them" (instead of wakarakižu); waxuxux, "to mash something up"; wis’ini, "long" (normally wis’ina); zi, "spark"; žigająga, "this time"; žožok, "to tire" (an emphatic from š’ak, "to tire" ?).
	rare words: bošgírik (Miner, bosgírik), "to make a loud noise during defecation" (Miner, "make a sputtering sound, as in breaking wind noisily, or throwing something into mud"); ga, "far off"; gį, "to carry" (found only in Jipson); gičo, "to be born"; hąka-ažu, "no"; haréč, "to have nothing"; hibošaną, "to miss (as in shooting)"; hikirara, "all kinds, a lot"; hokárakére, "to bring in, to place for himself"; huijiruhek, "to uproot by means of the hands" (cf. huijibohek, "to uproot by means of the wind"); jobajáwįga, "the four of them"; kaija(xjį), "over there (in the distance)"; kúru-ą, "to hold"; nika, "say" (an exclamation found only in Lipkind); rokarako, "he wished (for is own)" (< roko, "to be in want"); rošašaknįk, "to fuss (kick and cry)"; sosóx, "to rattle"; tešanąkre, "you who sit".
	use of -ąje as a future tense imperative.
	at one place, where the noun hinųkjega ("the woman") is in the ultimate position in the sentence, the epistemic clause terminator -že, which normally attaches only to verbs, is suffixed to the noun (hinųkjega-že).
	a possible nominal sentence: Wąknįkižą žee, "This [was] a boy".
	a preference for the relatively rare hąká ("never") over hąkagá.
	generally, a preference for what might be termed "expansiveness" is evinced by this narrator, including preference for long forms over shorter ones, reduplicated emphatics, double negation, and redundant conjunction:
		a preference for the full form -kjanahe-, rather than the contracted, -kjane-.
		frequent use of žigigų (žigé-higų), "(yet) again" — 10 times (0.5%).
		shows a preference for wažąra hižą, "any single thing", rather than just wažą, "anything".
		a penchant for reduplicated emphatics: čiči from či; gigišja from gišja; gugu from gu; hačičija from hačija; hihi from hi; hihinąp from hinąp; hinąšarašarač from (hi)nąšárač; hirojįjį from hirojį; hixgąxgą from hixgą; jikarakara from jikara; nąšarašarač from nąšarač; raxuxux from raxúx; rusgisgíč from rusgíč; sososox from sosóx; waxuxux from waxux; woruxuxuč from woruxuč.
		odd double negations, hąké ... hąká ("not ... never"), hįkaga ... hąká ("never ... never").
		one instance of a double conjunction, égi égi ("and and").
