No. 6.] CAMPBELL — HITTITES IN AMERICA. .359 



anessik aud euria, inotsi, raiu ; enga and emakum, woman ; 

 owi and bi, two ; bure and amar, ten. What closer resemblance 

 is possible within the domain of comparative philology than that 

 which is presented in the Barabra agilk, chundeka, mouth, on 

 the one hand, and the Aleutan agilak, Tchuktchi kandak, on the 

 other ? Such another example is afforded in a comparison of 

 the Barabra maschekka and the Tchuktchi and Kadiak mats- 

 chak, the Sun. So again the Barabra Kehl is the Aleutan 

 aghalun, tooth, while aly and onial are the Koriak alio and the 

 Aleutan angallak, day. The Aleutan and Kadiak, with the 

 allied Tchuktchi, seem to have preserved almost intact the old 

 Hittite forms, which the Barabra carried into Nubia nearly four 

 thousand years ago. The Aleutans and Barabra agree in being 

 worshippers of the sun like other Hittites, in the manufacture 

 of red waterproof leather, and in their manner of adorning the 

 head, the only difference being that the Aleutans replace with 

 beads the little pellets of yellow clay which the Nubians attach 

 to their flowing locks. Physical ethnology would never have 

 dreamt of uniting white Basques and Circassians, black Nubians, 

 yellow Japanese and red American Indians ; but philology, which 

 knows no colour but that of words and constructions, makes them 

 one. It may be that in the Barabra we shall yet find the purest 

 surviving form of the ancient Hittite language. Some ol its num- 

 erals help to connect those of the Peruvian dialects with other 

 Hittite forms. Such are tosk 3 and kemsou 4, which the 

 Quichua inverts, taking kimsa for 3 and tahua for 4 ; iscodon 

 9 is the Quichua iscon, and dimaga 10 the Aymara and Sapi- 

 bocono tunca, while bure, another form of the same number, is 

 the Cayubaba bururuche, and, at the same time, the Dacotah 

 perakuk. 



The subject of numerals, however, takes us into central Africa 

 by way of Darfur as far as Haussa. The Furian and Haussa 

 vocabularies are almost entirely made up of Khitan and Sum- 

 erian words, and the grammar of the latter language is virtually 

 that of the Berber. Before I knew that Dr. Hyde Cl-^-rke had 

 placed the Haussa among his Vasco-Kolarian languages, I had 

 been struck with the resemblance of its numerals to those of 

 the Basque, which have long been regarded as unique. Thus the 

 Haussa bu 2 is the Basque bi, biga, bida, the Accad bi, Barabra 

 owi, Corean fupu, Cadno bit, Muysca bosa, Aymara paya, Ata- 

 cama poya, Cayubaba bbeta, Araucanian epu and Peulche petci.
