 Ojibwe is part of the Algonquian family of languages. Languages from the same family are the sources
 of the long, complicated, yet compellingly rhythmic place names you’ll find in New England, like
-Narragansett, Massachusetts, Piscataqua, Passadumkeag, Squannacook, Pemigewasset, Winnipesaukee, and
-Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg.

 Keeping the same spirit, Ojibwe is not a language known for its brevity. Beginning to learn the
 language requires a definite mental adjustment.
 
 There are some notions that can be expressed with simple, short words. A lot of animals’ names, for
 example, are friendly and bite-size, like *makwa* ‘bear’, *migizi* ‘bald eagle’, *nigig* ‘otter’,
 *adik* ‘reindeer’, and *amik* ‘beaver’ (and not including *mashkode-bizhiki* ‘buffalo’ and
-*ogiishkimanisii* ‘kingfisher’).
+*ogiishkimanisii*{% include ogg src="ogiishkimanisii" %} ‘kingfisher’).
 
 Saying much about those animals, though, will mean that sooner rather than later, you’re going to
 have to use a verb. Most of Ojibwe is verbs. A sentence that English would express with several
 words might correspond to an Ojibwe sentence consisting of a single verb. For example, to say “I’ll

 Sometimes, like in that last example, all the little bits seem, to an English-speaking mind,
