See the previous lesson for sources of the color terms. The etymologies for "fly", "stone", and "berry" are based upon Pentland (1979). The etymology for "egg" and "star" is based on a combination of Pentland (1979) and Yopitkwshaasit Skwe's video lessons.

The reconstruction of "butterfly" is based on Blair Rudes' work on Virginia Algonquian.
