Stylistic Features

	hapaxlegomena: asa, "to be delicious," a form of as; boženą́, "to shoot all of something"; gisoso, "to slit up and cut into strips" (emphatic reduplication of giso, "to cut in strips"); ǧirak, "imprint"; hahis’igiži, "after some time had passed"; haininéją, "in the morning"; haxjahiak, "turned upside down"; higarehi, "to say something back to someone"; hinųkąke, "the woman"; hiwažižik hi, "to move about"; haxjahi, "turned upside down"; hihira, "to take a bath"; hirawás, "to drive," a shortened from of hirawáhas; hogų́, "as sooon as"; horurušų, "to be covered completely with something"; honit’ąbi, "to come across (encounter)," probably from honit’ąp-hi; nįosesepjį, "clammy with water"; jexjįwigiži, "about the time"; karacąp, "to become filled with something"; nąnąk, "to run on" (an emphatic reduplication); wajipak, "to get a hold of something"; nojanįk, "nightmare"; wabogąše, "to be the only ones left"; wakarehi, "to shout back"; wakurua, "to hold in the lap" (< warua, "to hold"); žegųhore, "anyhow" (cf. žegųhó); žejąnįgeja, "at the edge."
	rare words: haišjąge, "I fool"; hįhá, an exclamation usually translated as "now then"; hijánąjexjį́, "likely time/place," found only in Miner with a spatial meaning; hija’ų, "to stay, remain"; hiro-ášge, "near, a short distance"; hogų́, translated here, "as soon as," but the one other place that it occurs as, "anyhow"; kawaxik, "lodge pole," found in only one other source; kizų́c, "soft-shelled turtle," an archaic word (Miner); mini, "to walk"; rupą́c, "to sponge off" (?); rurúc, "to nibble at this and that" (Lipkind); ružáža, "to wash (thoroughly)," found only in Dorsey; šewe, "very thick," found embedded in the word wa-šewe, "to have deep snow"; warakara, "to watch them"; xų, "to pour"; žésganunige, "but even then."
	several times he starts a sentence with wéže, where almost eveyone else would first introduce at least one narrative flow particle.
	frequent use of hišgé, "also," as the initial word of a sentence.
	uses the shortened hąká, "never," more often than hąkagá.
	makes frequent use of the rather rare žésganunige, "but however; but even then."
	uses the rare expression, hahi (ške) gająga, "finally."
	a higher than normal ratio of hija to éja, "there."
	a heavy use of -nąka as a definite article.
	uses -kjanaheną in preference to -kjaneną.
	frequent use of the suffix -ra to terminate a sentence.

*tee Ki Ke can be interpreted a number of ways. The translation has, "to kill as much as they want," but none of these syllabic components can mean "to want." It could stand for t’ekige, "as he may kill (for) himself," but t’eki ordinarily denotes suicide, "to kill himself." However, Jipson's wordlist has the rare word gį, "to carry," which seems to fit the context.
