Norz.—It will be observed that in the five Barat races, the words standing 
for the first personal pronoun are radically the same. In Malagasi the first 
syllable is merely a prefix used before verbs, when emphatic. In the three 
Polynesian dialects the aspirate is lost, while in Malay the palatal k takes 
the place of the aspirate h. The radical in all cases is monosyllabic, ho, 
ku, u, au, au, the prefixes taking the form of iza, a, o a, ah, w, ow. 
In the Continental races, analogues are found in the Nepal tribes, as go, 
ang-gnu ; in the East Bengal as ku, ngo; and in the Indo-China as ku. 
In the Malay language I have given the generie term only, the other 
words used for the personal pronoun I, such as saya, beta, patek, hamba, 
literally meaning slave, or goa, being vulgarly used in towns where the 
Chinese predominate. 
It may be observed that the Javanese term conforms to the Malay one, 
io wit, aku.

Norr.— The radicals in use are ao, au, u, and oe. The prefix in 
Malagasi being hian; in Malay, angk, kam; in Samoan, a suppressed 
aspirate ; in Maori, the palatal k; and in Hawaiian, the vocal sound o. 
In the Continental races, the analogues of the Malay and Malagasi terms 
are found in Nepal, khyo ; in N.E. Bengal, hau; in Indo-China, mau; of 
the second expression in Malay, to wit, mu—in Indo-China, mo; in Central 
India, ninu, yinu; of the Samoan, Maori, and Hawaiian —in Tibet, kwe, khe ; 
in Nepal, ai, tui; in Indo-China, maii. The Malays use the word lu when 
addressing inferiors, and twan when addressing superiors. 
The Javanese term for thou, viz., kowe, is identical with the Polynesian 
dialects.
