672 PROCEEDINGS OF SECTION G. 



about 1° S. of S.E. Uti-fafa (fafa is the name of a wood 

 brace used to sup])ort the mast in tlie rig of a native canoe) 

 is a wind between S.E. x S. and S.S.E. There is also the 

 term " tataiyii rafaf'a or rafara" which I would translate, 

 " running with the fafa set." (F\]\,papa, " a board"). 



(3.) Tnhalau. — Tokalau is given in Fijian as the east wind, 

 natokarau as N.W. Avind on Aneityum. Here it is certainly 

 a S. wind, extending from S. x E. to (uncertainly) S.W. 

 X W. The sub-Avinds are : — UU-tonga um Tukalau, border- 

 ing on the Ul/ -tonga, about S. x E. to S. x W. Balab- 

 tukalau, is one of great uncertainty as to limits, and extends 

 from S. x W. to S.W. x W. 



(4.) Balahti.—T\\h extends from S.W. x W. to N.W. x 

 N. A Balabu always produces a smooth sea here, but it is at 

 the same time a fine saihng breeze. Aneityum, noperihapu 

 is a N.N.W . wind. Bale may be from the root of a word used 

 here to describe the rough sea falhng. (See hale, Fiji, " to 

 fall.") Abu may be the root which signifies dark, cold, &c. 

 The sub-winds must be put in two classes : — 



(a.) Balabu. — These are Balab-tilkalau as given above. 

 Then Balab matiia (Matiia, Samoan, north wind), about 

 W.S.W. ^a/a&-ZM«;z/a«/, between W. x S. andW. Balahii- 

 ftZiw. (black), about W. x IV . jSa/«5 w/av, about N.W. x W. 



(b.) Tukalautu. — Compare Fijian Tokalaulutu, N. or N. 

 E. wind, Samoan To'elau and To'elau-lafalafa, N.E. wind; 

 Aneityum (see the whole list in Diet., p. 113), Natakarau, 

 N.W. wind. The surprising thing is that a Tukalau should 

 be put in this side of the compass. 



9. Terms of Relationship and the Law of Marriage. 

 1. Aunt. 



A person can have no aunt. The relative we so call must 

 be (1) a mother. Iten (ri'ni, Kw. ; nana. An.) is the term 

 used to speak of another person's mother. It is applied to 

 a man's own brother, and to the sisters of his mother, and 

 to the wife of his father's brother. The person himself 

 would call such a person Yuma (mama. An.) In the 

 Kwainera dialect a child would say Nana, one more grown 

 would say Yuma, and an adult would say Kana. (2) She 

 must be a mother-in-law. Uhihi (Cusii, Kw. ; nanfagavai, 

 An.) is the term used to speak of the sister of a man's 

 father or the wife of the brother of a man's mother. (See 

 Mother.)
