Id the comparison of the adjectives " great, Large" there is a single apparent accord- 

 ance between the two groups, and that is between the Cochimi crioloo and the several 

 Serian terms. The Laymen form indicates that the stem is Va or cii; but an analysis 

 of the Serian words shows that kolch, I'ox' or koj (for kox') is their b.ase, the initial 

 Aa being merely a pronominative, as may be seen from an inspection of the compared 

 lists of attributives or adjective elements in the Sen groups, including the color- 

 names. Now, Mr Bartlett writes in the same list with cdokoo, calka, "a lake" = 

 "water, large", accenting the ctl, "great, large" ; and his "small" is cd-nil= "great 

 not". 



Comparing Dr Gabb's x^^i, "great, large", and ka or en, on the one hand, with the 

 Kilivree kootai iind k lite in sal-kootai Oiud 2)ah-kute, "thumb" or "large finger", and 

 "chief" or "large, great man", and with the Kiliwee etai, "great, large" on the 

 other, it becomes evident th.at cd is a curtailed form of kootai (kufe), as etai is. The 

 cdokoo of Mr Bartlett evidently signifies something more than "large, great"; it 

 may possibly me.an "large house" — i. e., cdiiaka, or "large earth, ground" — i. e., 

 cdakug, or it may be a cognate of Gabb's exkuikang, "high mountain". But never- 

 theless its derivation has been demonstrated so as to show that it has nothing in 

 common with Serian terms. 



There is likewise no phonetic relationship between the Serian .and tlie Vuman 

 words denoting "small", and this is also true of those signifying "good", "bad", 

 and "ill". These four comparative lists then show no genetic relationship.
