the word holati, with prefix ok- : o \olati blue, sky blue, the blue 

 color having become in some way or other the emblem of these 

 titled warriors. In the cognate Hitchiti dialect blue is holatle. 

 Among the Creeks blue was the color symbol of the south. 

 Aba, abo stick, club ; stalk, plant ; maize-stalk; abopaha corn-crib ; aboto 

 to beat with a stick ; abara maize field. In the Maskoki dialects 

 this term appears as api in Creek : stalk, stem ; adshim api stalk of 

 maize or Indian corn ; adshi-intal api cob of Indian corn. The 

 Hitchiti dialect pronounces the a longer than Creek : api stem, han- 

 dle ; nofapi beech, lit. beech-stalk. In Cha'hta this word may be 

 traced in: nusapi oak trie, and in haksh-ap bark. 



B. Timucua-Carib affinities. 



Piro red ; ano pira red mun, Indian. In Galibi ta-pire is red and yellow ; 

 in Tupi piranga is red ; pira piranga red fish, name of some fish spe- 

 cies (Martins) ; in Taino pu, bu meant scarlet. 



Paha house, lodge, wigwam. In Arowak w T e find bahii (and : baacheh) 

 house ; boharque in Taino : bohio, buhii, ubanna : tugurium, in the 

 same dialect (Martins). 



Ele young, fresh, recent. In Eyeri el is son, in Taino el, ili, gua-ili (with 

 demonstrat. prefix gua-, wa-) young, offspring, infant ; in Arowak 

 elunchy : boy. 



Ichali weir, fishpond. Raymond Breton (Dictionn. Carai'be frangais, 1605) 

 page 282, has ichali : garden for raising vegetables, p. 468: tona icali 

 (or ariche), fish-weir: "reservoir de poisson," tona meaning river. 

 The word oubacali he also translates by garden ; oubao island, icali 

 garden. Ibid. p. Ill : chalaali he was drowned; na chalaroyem I 

 am drowning, I go to the bottom. These two words are evidently 

 representing different linguistic roots, and the first has to be pro- 

 nounced ishali, according to the French pronunciation. Pareja ex- 

 press!}' states that ichali was used for weir on the coast, puye in the 

 interior, and I think it may be a loan word from the south incor- 

 porated into the language after suppressing the tona, which alone 

 qualifies the Carib word (as spoken on the island of Guadeloupe) as 

 a fish-pond. In Eyeri, as spoken on Porto Rico, chali meant a gar- 

 den also. 

 The terms pointed out certainly agree in both languages, but they may 



lie loan words; even if they rested on a common origin, their number is 



too small to prove identity of ethnic origin of the two peoples. 



Other resemblances may he traced, but they are too doubtful for being 



relied on : 



hapu three: kabbuin, kabuin Arowak. 



maca, moca sea, ocean : bagua in Taino ; cf. pa in parana, the Tupi term 



for sea. 

 iyorona eel: ihiri in Arowak. The Timucua word is derived from the 

 verb yuru to shake, tremble.
