Note 306 — LETTER XXIV. FROM MR. HECKEWELDER.
Reading edition
The k which is prefixed to this and the following substantives, conveys the idea of the pronoun thy; it is a repetition (as it were) of the beginning of the phrase “for thine” &c., and enforces its meaning. Ksakimowagan, may be thus dissected: k, thy, sakima, king or chief, wagan, substantive termination, added to king, makes kingdom.
