It is manifest that two forms are here involved and that the sense is 

 identical. I have given close attention to the examination of those lan- 

 guages in which the two forms are in use simultaneously, and except for 

 one slight discrimination I have failed to discover any principle in the selec- 

 tion of the form which shall be used. It is not euphonic, for the long form 

 is used before consonants as well as before vowels and the same is equally 

 true of the short form. The only discrimination which I have satisfied 

 myself to exist consistently is in Uvea, where faka is causative and fa (faa) 

 is used of resemblance.
