Topologie algébrique, chapter II, § 3. Groupoïdes

Suppose further that, for every arrow ff of F, we have o(f)=t(f)o(f) =t(f). Then the origin and the end of every path in the quiver Γ coincide. Let aa be a vertex of G and let A be its orbit in G. For every element cc of F whose origin bb belongs to A, let us fix an arrow fcf_c of G joining aa to bb and put κ(c)=\kappa (c) = Int(fcf_c)(δ(c))=(\delta (c)) = fcδ(c)fc−1f_c\delta (c)f_c^{-1}.

The group HaH_a is then the distinguished subgroup of GaG_a generated by the arrows κ(c)\kappa (c).

By Prop. 8, the arrows κ(c)\kappa (c) are contained in the group HaH_a. Let NaN_a denote the smallest normal subgroup of GaG_a containing them. By that proposition, it is enough to prove that, for every vertex bb of G belonging to A, every arrow fabf_{ab} joining aa to bb in G, and every element cc of Grp(Γ)b_b, Int(fabf_{ab})(δ(c))(\delta (c)) belongs to NaN_a. Since the origin and the term of every element of F are equal, a loop at a vertex bb in the graph Γ~\widetilde{\Gamma} is of the form (b,(f1,ε1),b,...,(fn,εn),b)(b,(f_1, \varepsilon_1), b, . . . ,(f_n, \varepsilon_n), b), where for every i∈{1,...,n},fii\in \{1, . . . , n\},f_i is an element of F with origin bb and εi∈{−1,1}\varepsilon_i\in \{-1,1\}. We have

Int(fabf_{ab})(δ(c))=fabfc−1κ(f1)ε1...κ(fn)εnfcfab−1(\delta (c)) =f_{ab}f_c^{-1}\kappa (f_1)^{\varepsilon_1}. . . \kappa (f_n)^{\varepsilon_n}f_cf_{ab}^{-1}.

Since fabfc−1∈Gaf_{ab}f_c^{-1}\in G_a, it follows that Int(fabf_{ab})(δ(c))(\delta (c)) belongs to NaN_a.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
