Assuming what's messing you up is your character encoding (the words look fine 
on the Web), here are the transliterations:

chamor, n., f. aton.
(This is Hebrew for "donkey". Instead of the regular formation adding -t or -
ah to make the feminine, there's a completely different word for "female 
donkey". Both words have cognates in Arabic and Aramaic.)

megas, adj. pl. megaloi, comp. meizon, sup. megistos.
(This is Ancient Greek for "big". Most forms of the positive have the stem 
"megal-", but the superlative is missing the "l", and the comparative is 
additionally missing the "g". Modern Greek has regularized the positive to 
"megalos" and the comparative to "megaluteros" while keeping the irregular 
superlative.)

"Cmiique" is Seri (a language isolate spoken in Baja California) for "Seri". 
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seri_language .

Hope this helps.
