376 THE: POLYNESIAN WANDERINGS. 



shadow. Tahiti, Raro tonga, Mangareva: maru, id. Rapanui: 



hakamaru, to cover with shade; marumaru, a shade, dark; 



koona (place) marumaru, a shelter. Maori: maru, to be 



shaded, sheltered. Fotuna: marumaru, to be clouded, shade. 



Nukuoro: maru, a shadow. Paumotu: hakamaru, to shadow. 



Marquesas: man, a shade, a shadow. 

 Viti: malumalu, shade. 

 New Britain : malur, shade. Baravon: malmalur, shady. Duke 



of York, Kabakada : marum, night. Matupit : marum, darkness. 



Uambell: morrom, dark. King: mirrum, id. Mota: malu, 



shade. Malo: mala, id. Malekula: na-mor, id. Baki: 



vamelu, id. Bierian: fomelu, id. 

 Malagasy: malomaloka, shady, cool, gloomy. 

 Hebrew: 'afel, 'afal, obscure, dark; 'amel, 'amel, to languish, to 



droop, to hang the head. 



The Proto-Samoan stem is malu, in contradistinction from malu cool of 

 the malung-stem. 



The Polynesian and Efate are in sense agreement. The vowel a of 

 Samoan malu would readily be represented in Efate by e; the e is not 

 explained. 



In other of the New Hebrides the identifications may be followed readily 

 as noted above. For comparison I include here Aneityum nalmui, nalmun, 

 picture, shadow ; removing the n-article and restoring the attracted vowel 

 to its proper position we find a stem lamu which might be admitted as 

 metathetic malu. In the eastern gateway we find what seems to be a very 

 probable group of identifications ; in sense the passage from shade to dark- 

 ness and thence to night is a rational chain, and there is no more form 

 difficulty in malu-malur-marum-mirrum. 



The Malagasy is probably homogenetic, but in the absence of central 

 Indonesian forms we may not be positive. 



Where the Hebrew agrees in meaning it is remote in form; where the 

 form seems to come into some suggestion of resemblance the sense is remote.
