EASTER ISLAND.

 P Pau. : garo, absent, lost, ruined. Mgv. :

 garovukua to swallow up. 

 garu 1 to swim over the waves. (See 

 aruaru 2.) 

 P Mgv.: garu, foam, froth. Mq.: kau, 

 naiitai, wave, billow. Pau. : puhi- 

 garu, a bubble of water. 

 In aruaru 2 is found another galu deriv- 

 ative. The sense of this garu is nowhere 

 else encountered; the stem means simply 

 the waves and involves no idea of 

 swimming. We note, however, the Viti 

 galo to swim; an uncertain identification. 

 garu 2 garu hoa, a friend of either sex. 

 PS Sa. : galu, a number of 3'oung persons 

 (galu teine, galu taulele'a). To.: 

 ? gauta, many in number. 

 Data fail for the comparison. The plu- 

 ral sense of the Samoan does not appear in 

 Rapanui. The Tongan form involves the 

 rather infrequent loss of an inner / and 

 leaves the latter element ta unexplained. 

 garuru headache, vertigo. 



puoko garuru, migraine. 

 P Mgv.: garuru, nausea that persists. 

 Mq. : nauu, kauil, headache, mi- 

 graine.

 T Mgv.: natu, to press out linen, to 

 squeeze a person or a sore place. 

 Mq.: natu, to pinch. Ta. : natu,

 hakagagau to move to rage. 



ga u cont inued . 



PPau.: gau, to eat; gagau, the edge of 

 tools, gahugahu, to chew; gaugau, 

 to stammer. Mgv. : gau, gagau, to 

 bite with avidity, to seize with the 

 teeth, pincers. Mq. : nahu, kahu, 

 to bite, to tear with the teeth. 

 That the Proto- Samoan stem was gahu 

 may be considered satisfactorily estab- 

 lished by the occurrence of the aspiration 

 in Paumotu and Marquesas and in Moriori 

 gahu. 

 gaugau to bark (gaoaku, gaoetu). 

 ge dismal.

 gogoraa (gogoroaa). 

 gogoro to solemnize. 



PS Mgv.: gogoro, a holiday, a feast, to 

 make a festival. Sa. : gogolo, to 

 come in crowds. 

 The Rapanui and Mangareva present 

 the same phase of the meaning; the 

 Samoan is a specific detail. I regard the 

 Southeast Polynesian sense as nearer to 

 the primitive signification. 

 gogoroaa accident, adversity, calamity, 

 plague, misfortune, fatigue, lassi- 

 tude, misery, pain, indifference, 

 remorse, care, solicitude, suffering, 

 torment, swoon, chagrin, embar- 

 rassment, indifferent, preoccupied, 

 languid, painful, sad.

 mise, to molest, to harm, to go
