1* The double "oo"s indicate a long "o." The "r" may have morphed into "oo."

2* Dreadful encampment was an idiom to describe winter. Freezing may have been one word the Recorder understood, when the Historian was trying to communicate “winter.”

3* This phrase illustrates the changes of sounds through time, distance and speakers. An original “d” became a “t” which became a “k” when recorded in another language. The “b” became a “P” through time.
The original “t” survived through time and became a “p” when recorded.

The “a” and “n” sounds are created in a similar way in a similar location in the mouth. The “a” and “n” sounds appear to have interchanged through time and distance, but the Historian and the Recorder were able to communicate them correctly.

4* Those who “remain in a (different) place” is a phrase meaning the homeland.

5* The "ep" syllable is not definite, but "etu" comes closest.

6* The repeat of the Algonquin word for two different meanings indicates that the recorder may not have been familiar with the Algonquin word for winter. The recorder may have recorded the same sounds differently as the Historian tried to describe winter again, again, and again.
