: At the Huron village, when Magua is orating for the sachem, doesn't it sound like he's slipping in a bit of Anglaise? Like when he expresses his wishes to burn the dark haired daughter of Monro and calls her "the witch".... and again, when he's angry about the sachem's decision; I could swear I hear him say "I curse at you!" in the middle of his Francais/Huron harangue!
.
I thought he said something akin to "le cursevous"...I thought it was French for "I course you." And I've always puzzled about that little remark that sounds like "witch". Sounds almost like "d' wayitch". I'd really like to know the exact words he says.
We need someone French and Huron to break it down for us!!!
