together in the same speech. The existence in Polynesia of a third form 

 in k (Mangareva karia, but not Hawaii kali) seems to point out this as an 

 instance in which shades of meaning are communicable by the system of 

 consonantal modulants which I have elsewhere argued at length (27 Ameri- 

 can Journal of Philology, 392). 



81. 

 amos i, amo, aino-taki, amo-rua, tak'amo, amoamo, to carry, to bear, to 

 carry on the shoulder. 

 Samoa, Maori, Hawaii, Marquesas, Mangaia: amo, to carry on the 

 shoulder. Futuna : amo, to carry a burden. Uvea : amonga, 

 a burden, carrying pole. Tahiti : amo, to carry on the back. 

 Moriori, Nuguria: amo, to carry on a pole. Aniwa: amo, to 

 take. Rapanui: amo, to carry; amo mat, to bring; amo, a 

 yoke; amonga, a burden. Tonga: haamo, to carry on the 

 shoulder. Niue: hahamo, to carry a burden on a pole. 

 Hebrew : 'amas, to bear, to carry, especially to lift up a burden and 

 put it on a beast. 



That the Proto-Samoan radical is hamos is established as to the initial 

 aspiration by Tonga and Niue, as to the final consonant by Efate. 



82. 

 bakateba, to watch, to look out for. 



Samoa: tepa, to look upward. Futuna: tepa, to turn the head 



or eyes in order to look. 

 Hebrew: sapah, to look out for, to view, to watch. 



83. 

 beingo, baingo, a shell trumpet, a kind of flute (coconut shell). 



Samoa, Futuna, Uvea: fangufangii, a flute. Tonga: fangufangu, 

 a flute, to blow through the nose. Uvea: fangn, to blow the 

 nose. Niue : fangu e ihu, id. Hawaii: hanu, to emit breath 

 from the lungs ; hanuhanu, to smell, as a dog following the track 

 of his master. 

 Arabic: baka, to blow a trumpet; ba'ku, ba'ko, a trumpet. 



The sense of the Polynesian will be made satisfactorily clear by the note 

 that the flute is played at the nostrils. If the coconut shell is really used 

 in Efate as a musical instrument it has escaped my observation and all 

 record, so far as I have seen, and at any rate it would properly be classed 

 rather with the ocarina than with the flute. 



84. 

 bua, to divide. 



Samoa: vaevae, to divide. 



Arabic: fa'a, fa'w', fa'y', to split, cleave, to be open, separated. 



If there be any validity at all in this identification it must be with the 

 element va as meaning to have or to be a space between. It will call for 

 bu-v mutation. The only light which our material sheds upon such a 

 mutation lies in the similar pn-v in vivini (242) to crow Malekula puinpuin 

 to whistle. On the radical sense of va see 27 American Journal of Phil- 

 ology, 387.
