THE OCEANIC FAMILY OF LANGUAGES. 833 
and that this part also is duly represented, as has been shown 
above in the Oceanic. Because of this, special prominence has 
been given to these gutturals, and because otherwise the numeral 
words, pronouns, and other words in which they occur could not 
have been properly dealt with; see the numerals 1, 5, and 10, 
and the pronouns, and the other words given, which have one of 
these gutturals as their first letter. Thus we can see the reason 
for, or have the key to the phonology of such forms of the first 
syllable or letter in the word for 10, as we have in gavula, 
chibulu, ahuru, &e. ; for 5, as in tima, rima, hima, kima, ima, 
&c. ; for 1, as in taday, tasi, tai, rari, tas or rais, ray, aida, aisa, 
asa, idu, isa, &e. ; for I, as in haku, laku, daku or aku, zaho or 
aho, hanu, kinau, &e.; for We, as in hana aa kina (-mt), 
kin (-ta), ka (-mz), ki (-ta), zaha (-y), si (ha), &e. ; for Thou, as 
in hica, dake, or ang, ik, &e.; for You, as in dibin or angkaw 
or kangkau, sicamo, hicamo, akam, &e.; and for who, which, as in 
he, sei, fet, me, vat, ‘ba hai, ae wai, ai, her, ter, thet, za, &e. 
Nothing has been said in this paper of the race varieties and 
geographical distribution of the Oceanic speakers, as the linguistic 
question must be considered on the principles of linguistic 
science, independently of discussions on those points, important as 
they are ; and the settlement of the linguistic problem will give 
the greatest aid to the settlement of these, and must be settled 
before the discussion as to these can attain to any certainty.
