The next list, as given below, contains 102 English о with their 
various expressions in Maori, to which are appended their equivalents as found 
amongst thirty-three languages of the Indian Archipelago. On examination it 
will be seen that, with the exception of sixteen words, all others have one or 
more of the several Maori terms displayed in some of these languages. Thus, 
the two expressions for rain in Maori are ua and awha ; the former is found 
in various languages as wam, huya, ulah, hura, hulan, and the latter as oha 
and wao. The approximations are too close (that is when not actually the 
same), and the divergences too gradual, to admit a doubt as to common origin. 
The sixteen words that have not their equivalents consist principally of 
articles and objects not known in New Zealand prior to the coming of the 
European, such as banana, chopper, cocoamut, honey, etc. "Thus eighty-six 
words out of 102 are common between Maori and the languages of the Indian 
Archipelago, as against sixty-six words out of the same, common between Maori 
and Tongan. Then, as the latter are dialects of admittedly one language, the 
affinity of Maori glossaries to more — races has forcible exposition, and
