</p><p>The etymologies for "white", "red", and "cardinal" are based upon Pentland (1979), though I have modified the endings. 
</p><p>Pentland, David H. (1979). Algonquian Historical Phonology. PhD Thesis, University of Toronto.
</p><p>The etymologies for "yellow" and "black" are derived from Myrelene Ranville's lesson materials that she presented at the Nanticoke Indian Association in 2006 and 2008. 
</p><p>The etymology for "blue" is based on Dunson (2018) with slight phonetic modifications. The word "grey" is derived from her work as well. 
</p><p>The word for "coal" is derived from Virginia Algonquian as reconstructed by Frank Siebert (1975). "Blue Jay" is borrowed from Unami Delaware (www.talk-lenape.org). "Wolf" is reconstructed based on the Unami etymon "winkeòhkwèt", which in Unami means "raven" or "lion", and literally means "one who likes meat". 
</p><p>All other etymologies are my own reconstructions.
