 The Proto-Samoan stem is Ieos. 



Our Melanesian forms are in exact accord with the Nuclear Polynesian 

 and with the Efat£ leo. In Efate - we may easily see in le a still further 

 degradation of stem, but lo with an internal abrasion is anomalous. 



The position of Viti rai, raitha, is baffling. It suggests a stem rais as a 

 parent. If we look upon Efate as suggesting an origin for rai, raitha from 

 rais raises an insuperable obstacle, for in the series leos-leo-le it will be seen 

 that le is twice removed from the least hint of s, and rais would need to 

 have les in Efate, which neither is nor could be found. 



The Malay may stand as a good identification, the Malagasy not. Simi- 

 larly the Semitic has a palatal to prevent identification with leos.
