' Ho'umotn applies to all step-children. 



' He would call me " hoku matapule." 



' Mij wife would speak of mv sister as " hoku matapule," it being thereby understood that the respect Is shown to me, the male, through her. My 

 sister would speak of my wife as " hoku ma'a." 



' I strongly suspect " Uitou" to be an introduced word. The missionaries have introduced many such words into the Tongan language, unnecessarily 

 (as I venture to think). I don't know enough of the tongue to be sure about this word being our English " widow" in a Tongan dress, but it has a 

 suspicious look and sound. I will inquire about it when I meet with an old Tongan. Takape applies to women as well as to men, and is used also 

 with reference to an unmarried person. There is also a verb "takape," which means "to be poor as to clothing;" and hence I should suppose the 

 nirun to apply more properly to a man, because it is the woman's business to make tapa, or native cloth ; so that takape would seem to mean " a man 

 who had no woman to make tapa for him."
