Note 247 — I. VOCABULARIES OF SOME OF THE TRIBES OF NORTHWESTERN AMERICA, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF THE INDIAN SIGN LANGUAGE
Hannibal Evans Lloyd translation
Mr. Gallatin (ibid., p. 195) thinks that the word uitschá is an abbreviation of uitschasta. I cannot decide the question with certainty. The singular number, man, was always given to me as uitscha; uitschasta seems to me to be the plural, or a general term, as for instance, in the word uitschasta-iuta, man eater.—Maximilian.
