DATA AND NOTES. 367 



in Efate tefa (24) to arrange in a row, as one who should tally one-two- 

 three-four, and five-in-a-row, this being as plain to view when the fingers 

 are down as when they are up. The prefix in Bierian ilima and Malekula 

 Pangkumu erim is probably not a formative accretion ; it is very close to 

 such a truly Polynesian use as e lima for five, the e being the visible sign 

 that lima functions as verb. Thus, also, may Santo Wulua and King be 

 accounted for. In Tanna we have (Weasisi, Kwamera, Naviliag) three 

 composites of a lima form {lum, rum) with the initial element kari. In two 

 other Tanna forms (Numerat, Nerokwag, Ra'na) we see fccm-variants 

 (kit, her) capable of carrying the five sense without lum. Therefore I 

 regard the karilum forms as determinant composites in which each member 

 has the same meaning. 



In Indonesia the variations are less extreme. We note composites in 

 Salibabo and Gani, but neither de- nor Up- is at all associable with the 

 composition members which have been found in Melanesia. Wahai nima 

 reproduces Tonga, Uvea, and Moiki forms, yet the only trace thereof in 

 Melanesia is found in lima (313) hand Saa ninime New Ireland nemdn 

 Nifilole nime Ulawa nimanima, for which we have no record of a five-Ztwa. 

 Dyak ma finds a transition phase in Motu ima and yet more positive 

 support in Bierian ma hand. 



It is quite impossible to see in Arabic Warns a form homogenetic with 

 lima.
