NOTE. Va (spelt Fijian-wise vei) expresses some sort of reciprocity, thus: 

 Lomaua = to love ; veilomani = mutual love. 

 Cata = to hate ; veieati = mutual hatred. 



Ravu = to slay ; veiraravui = mutual slaughter. 

 Lako = to go ; veilakovi = visiting one another. 



1 Tau answers to the Fijian vei. 



Enetahine = her girl, but is used to express the kinship between aunt and niece. 

 Honofoha = his son, but is used to express the kinship between uncle and nephew. 

 Enetama = her boy, but is used to express the kinship between aunt and nephew. 

 This seemed strange to me, and I questioned the natives (Tongans) over and over again about it. There was no variation in their replies. I placed 

 pens on a sheet of paper in double row, thus : 



o - 8 two sisters. 



Daughter of a y - i - daughter of 8. 



Daughter of y 



daughter of i. 

 daughter of f. 



explaining them fully as in diagram, and asking for the kinship between fr and n. " Enetahine," said the Tongans. " No," said I, " that means her 

 girl, and refers only to what ) would say of ." " Not so," they answered. " If you asked us what kin they are, both of them together, we should 

 say, 'they are enetahine.' " I then inquired in like manner about " honofoha," and " enetama," with a like result.
