212 PROCEEAINGS OF THE CANADIAN INSTITUTE. 



The literal meaning of Kupinogabeko would be " deprived of a 

 commander or chief or lord," and would suit some republican com- 

 munity. 



381. OANA marakara marakara

398. AV/1VLSVYINA • AV • CALISNAL 



rapi bapi sanopi kuukara rapi chirasauno karasa 

 rapi babe Sanopi Goikara rapi Chirasauno sortze 

 receive father Sanopi High Lord receive Chirasauno natum 



This is sepulchral and votive. The author prays Jainko, here 

 Goikara, the Tina or Jupiter of the Eti-uscologists, to receive his 

 father, Sanopi. I do not propose at present to enter upon the iden- 

 tification of Chirasauno and other names of places. 



The following presents a new formula: 



407. LA • SENYINAYE • AOVNIAL 



zara nonekakuukarakune ramopikau rasa 



zara non gogoi ekara gune Ramopikau eritza 



writing which memory in bears us to Ramopikau it esteems^"® 



In this case zara cannot be zari, chief. In gune we see the pro- 

 noun in an old dative form. It is now guri. In these inscriptions 

 non seems to read as a relative as well as the adverb whei-e, which 

 has sometimes relative powers. In such case the vei-b may dispense 

 with the })assive form, " which in memory bears to us."

184. AVIVP8 rapi upitula arpi obi tille 



SECSYIN none chinokix uka non Chinoku uga 



AL rasa eritsa 



Behold the sepulchral inscription which honours the mother of Chinoku 



In Basque obi, liohi is the gi-ave, and tille, an inscription. 



106 In 407 Fahretti omits rhe final AL, eritza, wliioh makes a lietter reading : " Writing which 

 l)pars ■Ramopikau to our remembrance."
