DATA AND NOTES. 337 



pulut, gum, pitch, sticky, to stick. Samoa, Tonga, Futuna, Uvea, 



Viti (?), Rotuma, Efate, Mota, Merlav, Norbarbar, Malekula, 



Malo, Hawaii. 

 pulut (this ascription resting solely on Samoa pulupuluta'i), a large 



article of clothing. Samoa, Tonga, Futuna, Viti (?), New 



Britain. 

 puluv, to interpose, to mediate. Samoa. 

 pulu, coconut husk. Samoa, Tonga, Futuna, Niue, Viti, Maori, 



Tahiti, Rarotonga, Mangareva, Marquesas, Hawaii. 



The pulut stem is thus seen to belong to the Proto-Samoan migration. 

 If the identification in Hawaii is good we have this stem to add to our 

 fragments of evidence showing a Proto-Samoan migration from Samoa to 

 Hawaii. 



The pulu stem is common to both migrations. 



In Melanesia the pulut stem preserves its t except in Malo. 



In Indonesia the Java pulut is exact in form and sense. Malay pulur 

 may be connected with the pulu stem, but the sense is almost impossible 

 to reconcile. 



The Semitic kpr can not be said to stand in strong likeness to Poly- 

 nesian pit.
