xxviii Appendix. 
this course, inasmuch as many objects are not known to the Polynesian races 
which are common in the archipelago, and some words do not express primary 
wants. 
On examination of the list of words below, it will appear that in allowing 
for differences in articulation which has caused the elision or transposition of 
vowels and consonants, there are sixty-six of the hundred-and-two words common 
to both. Thus we have in Maori and Tongan respectively, hua, fua, fruit ; 
рай, mea, good ; wera, vela, hot; rahi, lahi, large ; wahine, fafine, woman ; etc. 
But in this list fifteen words have no expression either in one dialect or both, 
owing to the object not being known to them, such as deer, monkey, etc. 
Thus the ratio of common words to the whole should be as 66:87. It may 
be noticed, in passing, that the word for pig in Maori, viz, poaka, being 
radically the same as the Tongan term, buaka, must have been either 
preserved by tradition or introduced by natives of Polynesia after the advent 
of the European. This word, in its various modifications, has extensive range, 
puaka, buaka, phua’a, etc., and is supposed by J. R. Logan to be of Asiatic 
origin, as phak, Thibet ; phag, Bhutan, Limbu, etc. ; wok, Kyen, Champang, 
ete. ; wak, Magar ; vak, Naga, Garu; piak, Chepang.
