RELATIVES. 



44. The Polynesian dialects have, properly speaking, no relative 

 pronouns. Their place is supplied by words belonging to other parts 

 of speech, or they are left to be understood from the construction of 

 the sentence. 



Fakaafo. Te vaka a Pihapa, te vaka alu, the canoe of Pihajm, the canoe [which 

 is] going. 



Samoan. O le, sing, and o e, pi., in oblique cases simply le and e, are used as rela- 

 tives, or to supply the place of such ; as, ie faafetaia o le sau, blessed is he that comes, 

 or, the comer ; taupou e to'asefulu o e ave atu, ten virgins who took ; alofa atu i e fetuu 

 mai, love them that curse. Lena, pi. ena, are used in a similar manner, as, o lena pepelo 

 ia te ia, who betrayed him ; ma ena mulimuli, and thou who followedst ; [but perhaps 

 the na should rather be considered the sign of the past tense ; we have not found lena or 

 ena in the present.] Sa is termed by Mr. Heath, in one place, a relative of past time, 

 and in another, a sign of tense ; it is used as follows : le upa sa 'e fai mai, the word 

 which thou didst speak ; 'o latou sa mai, they who were sick. Na, the proper sign of 

 past time, is often so placed as to indicate that a relative is to be understood ; as, 'o tagata 

 na mulimuli mai, the men who followed ; lena na tala-ina, he who was spoken of. 

 Ma is given as having a similar meaning with *a, but we have found no example of it. 

 Besides these, the personal pronouns, particularly in the oblique cases, are used where a 

 relative would be employed in English. O le, or simply o, is used for " whosoever ;" as 

 o e faailoa au, whosoever shall confess me (or it is, perhaps, a plural, whatever persons 

 shall, &c.) 



In Tongan, the relative is either expressed by the personal pronouns, or left to be 

 inferred ; koeni koia efakaha au, he who shall confess me ; te mou mau aia te mou lea 

 aki, ye shall receive that which ye shall speak ; koe fili ne ne-tutui ia, the enemy who 

 sowed it ; ae tayata na ne yaohi, the man whom he had made. 



New Zealand. Ko koe ra nei aia e haere mai, art thou he that should come ? Te 

 tagata hore ona wahi, a man who has no place (lit. not of him a place). Koia ra tenei 

 e korerotia, this is he that was spoken of. 



In Rarotongan, tei and ko tei, and in Tahitian, tei and 'o tei, are used as relatives :
