Mohegan, a dialect of the Mohegan-Pequot language of Southern New England, was one of the major Algonquian languages of Connecticut, spoken from the Connecticut River in the west to the Thames River in the east and from central Connecticut south to Long Island Sound from at least the 13th century through the 1800s. Its last speaker, Mrs. Fidelia A.H . Fielding, died in 1908. From detailed professional phonetic recordings of lengthy texts from Mrs. Fielding's speech it is possible to recover a significant vocabulary in Modern Mohegan as it was spoken in the early years of the last century. The application of known phonological correspondences between the Mohegan dialect and the mutually intelligible neighboring Pequot dialect make it possible to reconstruct a large number of probably occurring lexical items which may be added to the total vocabulary of Modern Mohegan. This vocabulary, in both Mohegan-English and English-Mohegan alphabetical listings, is presented in the Lexicon along with a detailed description of the methods by which the data were recovered , phonemicized , and normalized.

INTRODUCTION The Mohegan Dialect. The Mohegan-Pequot language -
with dialects
of Mohegan, Montauk, Pequot, Shinnecock, and perhaps Niantic -
was the
major Algonquian language of south-central and southeastern Connecticut and adjacent Long Island from approximately the 12th century until the extinction of its dialects in the 18th through 20th centuries. The Pequot, Niantic, and Montauk dialects lost their last speakers in the late 1700s; the Shinnecock dialect became extinct in the mid-1800s, and the Mohegan dialect has been gone as an everyday medium since Mrs. Fidelia A.H. Fielding, known as Jits Bodunaxa (Flying Bird), died in 1908. The last person to have heard Mohegan used, and that only as a child, was Gladys Tantaquidgeon, the much-revered Mohegan Tribal Medicine Woman, now 104 years old. Just as some of the diverse though related dialects of British, American, and Australian English show some remarkably variant uses of the uniform phonological inventory of modern English, rendering mutual intelligibility from peripheral to none -
the Okracoke dialect of North Carolina English
compared to the normal North Carolina dialect, for instance -
so
documentary evidence makes it clear that the dialects of Mohegan-Pequot also differed significantly in phonology. This makes it impossible to lump the unchanged documentary data for all the dialects of the language together for reconstructive purposes, for they do not represent a single speech form. In earlier years, the Mohegan dialect was spoken from the Connecticut River in the west to the Thames River in the east and from central Connecticut south to Long Island Sound. From detailed professional phonetic renderings of lengthy texts from Jits Bodunaxa and from words and phrases gathered from partial speakers Emma Baker, James Rogers, and

easily possible. Though many areas of life are not covered by the attested vocabulary, the known methods of root-compounding used by all Algonquian languages, as described in some detail by Leonard Bloomfield (1946), could be used to further enlarge that basic 15,000-word vocabulary

The Purpose and Uses of the Lexicon. The Lexicon of Modern Mohegan has a dual purpose. While an initial partial inventory and analysis

phonological and morphological differences separating the languages and their dialects. The resulting mix is regrettably far from the known , attested Mohegan data. Thus at present there are no speakers of a restored Moder n Mohegan;. The dialect is still extinct. There are those within the tribal community, however, who still wish to see a restoration of the tribe's known language heritage, and that restoration may yet take place in the future, replacing the currently non-Mohegan Algonquian pidgin being taught to tribal members. Thus the present Lexicon might readily serve as the beginning point for the rebuilding of a restored Modern Mohegan.
The Data. The data come from three full Mohegan texts left to us by
Without such data the Mohegan dialect of Mohegan-Pequot would have vanished forever with Jits Bodunaxa' s death. Fortunately, all the major structural categories of general Algonquian grammar are represented in her writings, and we may consequently rely on her fluency as a sure key to the nature of the language she was speaking. This is particularly the case inasmuch as she was a member of a family which traced its ancestry throug h her grandmother, Martha Uncas Shantup (1761-1859), back to the line of Uncas, and it was with Martha Uncas that Jits Bodunaxa learned and used Mohegan as her home language for the first 32 years of her life, mirrori ng generations of prior users of the Mohegan dialect of Mohegan-Pequot.
Jits Bodunaxa, all of which have been published and are readily availab le to the interested reade r- a short Tale (Speck 1904), a short Sermon (Prince and Speck 1903) and a long 4-notebook Diary (Speck 1928). A fourth text, another Diary, shorter than the surviving one, was lost in an office fire at Columbia University in the year 1906. Fortunately, the vocabulary of the lost Diary had been transcribed in both its original and phonetic form and is preserved in a word-list published in 1904 (Prince and Speck 1904). The Tale was taken down in phonetic notation by the linguist Frank Speck, who worked with Jits Bodunaxa from 1902-1905, as she narrated it to him in Mohegan. The other two texts, the Sermon and the surviving Diary, were
Additional sources which might contribute to the reconstruction of the Mohegan dialect are few. We have a three-sentence Death Song recorde d by Frank Speck from an unnamed member of the Mohegan tribe at the time he was working with Jits Bodunaxa (Prince & Speck 1903:210), a list of the numbers from one through ten dictated to Dr. Speck by James H. Rogers ,

Preparation of the Present Materials. The work underlying the lexical materials presented in this volume was begun in the autumn of 1947 while the author was a student in anthropology and linguistics at Yale University in nearby New Haven and completed during the autumn of 2002, a period during which all surviving data in the dialects of Mohegan-Peq uot were examined and re-examined many times until it was felt that a realistic and linguistically accurate resolution of the problems inherent in the interpretation of such documentary data had been reached. During the period from April 1998 through January 200 I I also served as Tribal Lingui st for the Mohegan Tribe, working with a number of tribal membe rs who consistently afforded me assistance and suppo rt- Melissa Jayne Fawcet tTantaquidgeon and Sandra J. Pineault of The Mohegan Museum; Faith Davison and Sr. Betty Jean Codere of the tribal Archives Depart ment; Carlton Eichelberg, former Chairman of the Council of Mohegan Tribal Elders and all the members of that Council during his tenure of office; and the members ofthe Mohegan Language Committee, a dedicated consul tative body formed in 1998 consisting of tribal members concerned with the accurate restoration of the Mohegan dialect as it was spoken by Jits Bodunaxa. The present linguistic analysis is based on the phonetic transcriptions of Jits Bodunaxa's speech and writings made by Frank Speck and his colleag ue at Columbia University, J. Dyneley Prince. Prince, Speck' s major profess or during the pursuit of his doctoral work at Columbia, specialized in the analysis of Algonquian languages and was one of the leading profess ional phoneticians in the United States during the late years of the 19th century
9
and the first decades of the 20th century. Speck, a consequently well-tr ained and experienced linguist and phonetician, heard Jits Bodunaxa speak Mohegan on many occasions between 1902 and 1905 and had be~n .taught by her what each symbol in her orthography and spelli~g ~ystem •.ndtcat ed. It is therefore probable that his phonetic transcnptwns mmor her pronunciation very accurately. The grammar of Jits Bodunaxa's dialect of Mohegan has been describ ed in some detail in the present author's Modern Mohegan: The Dialect of
Jits Bodunaxa (Granberry 2003), and it is suggested that the interested user of the lexicon might profit from using the two volumes together. The texts on which Speck' s phonological analysis were based may be found in Speck ( 1904, 1928) and Prince and Speck ( 1903). These will be reprint ed and edited in the near future.
Phonology and Orthography. In analyzing the phonology of a no longer spoken language from documentary materials, even materi.als which have as in the case of Mohegan, been meticulously re-transcnbed by a train~d phonetician who knew the phonetic values of each orthographic symbol, one can not call such putative sound units 'phon~s' .or '.phone mes' in the technical sense, for there is always some ambtgutty m such an analysis. Consequently, the phonological units described here for Moheg an will be referred to as reconstituted phonetic units, a term coined and used by Mary Haas many years ago (Haas 1954). Phonological reconstitution is based on one's knowledge of the sound values for which the same orthographic units were used in other languag es. This enables us to postulate the most probable phonological unit to which each symbol refers in the language under investigation.

Entries from Pequot Dialect Sources. All attested words specifically in the Mohegan dialect and taken from known Mohegan dialect speakersJits Bodunaxa, James Rogers, Emma Baker, and Gladys Tantaquidgeonare entered in ordinary bold-face type, as shown above. Words which have been derived from Pequot dialect sources, however, are given in italic bold-
face type, to indicate to the Lexicon user that they may have been used in Mohegan, but we have no actual attestation of such usage. The Pequot data consists of two reliably gathered word-lists, one made by the Rev. James Noyes sometime before the year 1669 near Stonington, Connecticut, the other gathered by Ezra Stiles, at Groton, in 1762. There are also three very poorly recorded versions of the Lord's Prayer _
one
prepared by Experience Mayhew, a speaker of Massachusett, sometime around 1713, one written by an unknown individual in 1721, and a third gathered by Stiles in 1762. The Pequot word-lists are at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Lexicon Source entries for words derived from these sources are indicated as 'Noyes' and 'Stiles" respectively. Each of the lexical items taken from the above Pequot sources has been re-written as a possible Mohegan form by application of the known soundcorrespondences which separated the two dialects, as indicated by the orthographies of the documentary sources. These formulas are quite straight-forward. With consonants' only the stops (p , t, k, b, d, g), a ffr'tcates (ch,j), and the sibilant spirant (s) are involved. The other consonants remain the same. The consonantal formulas are as follows:
final b, d, g,j, and z in Mohegan; 3. Pequot forms spelled with b, d, g, j (or dg), and z between vowels remain the same in Mohegan; 4. Pequot forms spelled with p, t, k, ch, and s + another consonant remain the same in Mohegan; 5. Pequot forms spelled with s + p, t, k, or ch remain the same in Mohegan; 6. Pequot forms spelled with pp, tt, kk (or ck), chch (or tch), and
ss between vowels become p, t, k, ch, and s in Mohegan; 7. Pequot forms spelled with initial p, t, k, ch, and s which derive from a Prato-Algonquian or Proto-Eastern Algonquian form with hp,ht, hk, hch, and hs become initial p, t, k, ch, and s in Mohegan; 8. Pequot forms spelled with final p, t, k, ch, and s which derive from a Prato-Algonquian or Proto-Eastern Algonquian form with hp,ht, hk, hch, and hs become final p, t, k, ch, and s in Mohegan. Vowel correspondence formulas are considerably less regular, and, by and large, Pequot vowels have been left as they are in the reconstituted Mohegan form unless examination of Prato-Algonquian or Proto-Eastern Algonquian lexical forms dictates a change. The most noticeable variation between the two dialects is that between u and i - as in Pequot wuttun and Mohegan witun 'wind'. We do not have enough data, however, to venture any secure statements on such vocalic variations.
16 The resultant Pequot-derived lexical forms are, then, only probable Mohegan forms, but, as pointed out earlier, we can not be at all certain that they actually occurred and, if they did, we can not be certain of their phonological shapes. Other Possible Lexical Sources. lt is also possible to apply known sound correspondences to lexical forms from other Southern New England languages to derive putatively equivalent Modern Mohegan forms, but the uncertainty in so doing is multiplied many fold over that of derivin g forms from the closely related Pequot dialect. The temptation is great, for example, to take the full vocabulary ofNat ick Massachusett as recorded by Eliot and others in the mid and late 1660s and from that manufacture a full vocabulary for Modern Mohegan. The linguist using this method, however, should heed Edward Sapir's observation that "all grammars leak". The even and heavyhanded application of derivation-by-pattern, particularly by computer systems such as the over-used Shoe Box program, gives highly skewed, inaccurate, and very un-Mohegan results. This is not the goal of the present Lexicon. While such a procedure, carefully applied by a professional linguist with many years experience in handling data from the Southe rn New England languages, may be fruitful in the future , its use in the present volume would lead to an unfaithful presentation of the known Mohegan data.
