Craig: For a better decipherment of stanza 4.4 see our June 19th post, it is in the comments.  Today I have started Stanza 4.5 and so far for the first word WMEILO  I have come up with WEMATO in Vol. 1 p. 233.     I have also found a back up for this word WEMI in Vol. 4 p. 156 but could not find the LO  part in the  Viking and the Redman.

    Craig,

    You found "Wemi." (All) But could not find "Lo."

    I think that is evidence the phrase is not "wemi"-something.

    "Wmeilo" may be a case where the Moravians recorded a consonant outside of the "t" cluster, or Rafinesque could not understand the hand writing.

    Because you searched and did not find a "Lo" syllable that fit, I conclude that WEMATO is the word we should chose.

    We will find out when we get to the Drottkvaett check.

    Going Good. I hope you are keeping Michael and Robert up to date.

    Myron
