With this stem we should collate pua, of cognate meaning. 



Maori: pua, a flower, a seed, to blossom. Tahiti: pua, to blossom. 

 Hawaii: pua, a flower, to blossom. Mangaia: pua, to blossom. 

 Mangareva: pua, a flower, to bloom. Marquesas: Ipua, a 



flower, to blossom. Paumotu: pua, a flower. 



We should also collate funga (246). 



In Sesake we find the funga stem doing duty for blossom and for fruit. 

 In Indonesia we find funga in the fruit sense in Sulu, Tagalog, Ilocan, 

 Magindano, all Philippine tongues. This suffices to prove that funga and 

 fua were by some regarded as sufficiently akin to allow the sense of fua to 

 pass to funga. 



So too of pua and fua. While the sense of pua is that of flowering, where- 

 ever it is found, the Maori is proof that it could have the fua fruit sense as 

 well. So far as we can now discover pua is an open stem, but its occurrence 

 is altogether in the Tongafiti area, a later stage of the language, so that this 

 is not conclusive. 



And fua itself is susceptible of both senses. This comes to the surface 

 in Buka, where hoa is fruit and ua blossom. We find the confusion of mean- 

 ings also in Samoa, Maori. There is reason to infer that the Proto-Samoan 

 stem is fuat, but this does not necessarily militate against stem identity 

 with pua. 



The data are so assembled in the foregoing collation as to indicate the 

 gradual deviation from the primal stem. The identity is found of con- 

 siderable extent in Indonesia. 



The Semitic forms proposed are clearly uncoordinate.
