LEXICON OF INDIAN TONGUE
Iowa University Professor at Work
Among the Musqualkie Tribe
A Summers Work.

A dictionary of the Musquakie In.
dian language is to be compiled by
Prof. Duren H. Ward, of the State
University of Iowa, for the State His.
torical society, and, when completed,
the work will be the first of any of
the Indian tongue of this peculiar
tribe to appear in print Mr.. Ward
has spent the entire summer at the
reservation in Tama county, east Of
Eldora, Ia, and has succeeded in
preserving many interesting manu-.
scripts, treaties and documents Of
Musquakies.
The Musquakies have no alphabet,
as the Anglo-SaXon speaks of alpha.
bets and letters, but they have Ian.
guage which conveys every possible
shade of meaning. All thought is con.
veyed by the Indians in the reserva-
ton by the use of syllables, and the
total number of these. according to
Prof Ward, is about 500 Every syl.
liable begins with consonant and
ends with a vowel. The Indians Dor.
row no words, forming their own
terms out of these syllables Among
their consonant sounds they have no
sounds like t, j, /, + or 2; but, on the
other hand, have sounds from the fol.
lowing letters and syllables: Bw, pw,
by, py. tw, DIV, ty, dy, sy, jw, ky, gy,
INV, and my.
Prof. Ward accomplished a number
of objects in his summers work, and
has successfully photographed every
member of the tribe, secured valuable
history and data from the chief and
his assistants and has complete list
of every person on the reservation, to-
gether with valuable data concerning
the lands and property owned by the
Indians.
