noquana,; my younger child wlena quianima, the fourth child quiani co- 
coma, my very last child ywhacoli or dsicora. 
The niece calls the husband of her aunt ¢tora, ‘‘grandfather.’’ My 
brother’s wife 7 guisa, she calls the sister of her husband ni quisimitana, 
and the brother tafimitana, ni tafimitama. 
My elder brother poyna misoma, my younger brother poyna quianima; 
my elder sister n¢hona, my younger sister umittina, amita oroco; in Potano 
and Ieafi chiréma is used instead : amita chirima, amita chirico. In Timo- 
qua the women say to their sisters, and the men to their brothers anta, 
antina; and when the younger speak of the older brothers they employ 
the terms used here by the coast people: hiosa, niha. 
My last sister ywhuwacolima, my aunt, sister of my mother zsale,; the sis- 
ter of my father nibinaw; my nephew on brother’s side ebona, on sister’s 
side ulena, the same as ‘‘my own child.’’ Is it thy nephew or niece? 
eboya? When a nephew on the brother’s side dies, he is called anelana, ano 
etana, and not ebona; but if the deceased be of the sister’s side, he is 
called ano nihanibama or: aymantanica; and if any child of his die the 
deceased is called ano nihanema or: aymantana. The males likewise 
apply this term aymantana, same as the females, to a deceased near rela- 
tive whom they dearly loved ; and if he should be a chief, he is called by 
everybody aymanino neletema. 
My daughter-in-law nubwona; a daughter-in-law calls her husband’s 
father and mother nubuomituna or: ni nubuomitama. Son-in-law or 
daughter-in-law guisotina,; the stepmother calls him or her ulena, ‘‘my 
child.’’ The husband of a woman’s cousin is called by her nas?, ‘‘son-in- 
law ,”’ the wife is called equally by both sexes nubuo, “daughter-in-law.” 
The children of sisters are called brothers and sisters, in observance of the 
nomenclature above given. Children of the younger sisters call their aunt 
Zsa miso, ‘elder mother,’’ and children of the elder sisters call their aunt 
“‘younger mother,’’ isa guianiéma. The woman calls all the children of 
her sister alike, evona, and the brother calls them conina. If they are 
sisters, they call the children of their uncle evona, and his children call her 
nothing Jess than ‘‘mother ;’’ but if the children of the sister be male they 
call the children of their uncle gudena, viz.: “‘my children,”’ although they 
are cousins. The children of the brother call the children of their aunt 
ama or equeta, although they are first cousins. The aunt or uncle, the 
father or mother of the nephew or niece being dead, these are called piliqua 
only, which term is used by others towards those who are without any re- 
lative, or have neither father nor mother. And the son of the brother calls 
his aunt nibina ; the nephew on the mother’s side calls his uncle isale, 
isalena, ‘‘my new mother, or aunt.’’ Those who are of the same house, 
lineage, or parent by the female side are called ano queiana or anona, “‘ my 
relative.’ 
When the wife dies, the surviving husband says: ‘‘ my fire is out’’ taca 
ni timutema,; ‘‘he is dead who sat near me,’’ uquale hibuano nirocosema.
