Excerpt from On Algonkin Names for Man

In Algonkin languages - and the same probably is true of all others spoken by North American nations we have three classes of names for Man, into the composition of which enter three or more different roots. These are indicated, not very clearly, by Roger Williams, in the introduction to his Key into the Language of America (1643)
