RAPANUI-ENGUSH VOCABULARY. 



237 



(otaota) hakaotaota continued. 



fiti; if it be really absent therefrom the use 

 in Maori and Hawaii will interpose no 

 insuperable obstacle to regarding it as 

 Proto-Samoan. 



otu hill T. 



otua younger. 



ouo ? e ouo, to smoke T (teoeo). 



pa 1 a wall, palisade, parapet, rampart, 

 obstruction, fortification, fence, 

 hedge, to enclose. 

 pa varikapau, fence, to inclose. 

 titi ki te pa, to enclose. 

 P Pau.: pa, a rampart, bulwark. Mgv.: 

 pa, a wall, hedge. Mq. : pa, a 

 fence, barricade, palisade, any 

 obstacle, to close, to inclose, to 

 shut. Ta.: pa, a fence, fortifica- 

 tion, palisade, wall, hedge. (The 

 Polynesian Wanderings, 274.)

 (pa 3) hakapa aggregation, to double, to 

 graft, to confederate, to league. 

 hiriga hakapa, to go two by two. 

 P Mgv. : pa, rows of men in many ranks. 

 Sa. : patagata, a number of persons 

 standing side by side. Ha. : pa, a 

 pair. 

 This seems to me better to explain the 

 Samoan patagata which Pratt under- 

 stands as "a wall of men. " He is misled 

 by the metaphor of "steadily shoulder 

 to shoulder, steadily blade by blade;" 

 Samoan bush fighters have no knowledge 

 of the elbow touch of the bravely fighting 

 old brigade. 

 pa 4 to preside. 

 paa childless, sterile, barren. 

 paa migomigo, barren. 

 P Pau., Mgv., Ta.: pa, sterile.

 paepae pavement, plank, canoe.

P Pau.: paepae, a raft. Mgv.: paepae, a 



pavement, to lay up stones with 



regularity in a wall. Mq.: paepae, 



elevated pavement on which the 



paepae continued. 



house is built. Ta. : paepae, pave- 

 ment, raft. 

 The pavement sense alone is that which 

 is common to the two migrations. As the 

 designation of a canoe the word occurs 

 only in Rapanui, Paumotu, and Tahiti; 

 tantalizingly near is a sense of pae as to 

 float, to drift, found in Tonga, Maori, 

 Tahiti, Hawaii, Mangareva, but it does 

 not seems associable. For comparison 

 with this canoe paepae I note paopao in 

 the same sense in Samoa, Niue, Futuna, 

 with no known congeners.

 press, to torture, to torment. 

 PS Sa. : paga, trouble, distress. 



The Proto-Samoan stem is pagahat. 

 After abrasion of the final / and the dis-

 of the modern stage of Samoan, pagaa by 

 a common crasis becomes paga.
