• Fragments from 4 Translations by John Horden of the Book of Common Prayer (BCP) into Ojibwe and Cree)  (.pdf file: 480 KB) - 
  Horden's 1861 translation into Ojibwe ("Saulteux") is evidently not the local dialect, as we know from it from his 1860 Saulteux translation of "Bible and Gospel History", and his various later "Ojibbeway" translations (made in collaboration with John Sanders).
  Instead, the 1860 "translation" of the BCP is rather a verbatim transliteration into syllabics of the 1853 edition of Frederick O'Meara's translation of the BCP.

  * the stem (root) form , (if possible the Proto Algonquian form)
  * the plural
  * the possessive ( *-em ) or locative ( *-eng )
  * the diminuative
  
  The forms have been compiled mainly from Nichols & Nyholm's "Concise Dictionary of Minnesota Ojibwe"; further use has been made of data from Leonard Bloomfield's "Eastern Ojibwa" and his article on Proto Algonquian (1946).
  The nouns are grouped according to the original ending of the stem.
