ini; Bhumij, ini; Mundala, inni; Tuluva, aye; Badaga, ava; Irula, ava; 
Malabar, avan, aval; Sinhalese, ae, eka. 
The radical is i-i or i-a, the vowels in Malagasi being joined together by 
the sibilant z, in Malay being prefixed by the dental d, and the Samoan and 
Hawaiian being prefixed by the vowel o. 
In the Continental races, the analogues of the Malagasi are found in 
Nepal, isi; in Indo-China, a'i, ini, inni; of Malay and the Polynesian tribes— 
in Tibet, ja, jya; in Nepal, aya, i; in Indo-China, nya, a’to; in Southern 
India, aye, ava, avan, aval, ae, eka, 
The Javanese term assimilates more to Malay than to Malagaso-Poly- 
nesian, viz., dewe, yet it has analogies to all.

dently ai, oi ; and of the Maori and Hawaiian, tau, kau. In the second line, 
the root of Malagasi and Malay is ia, or kia. In the Samoan, Maori, and 
Hawaiian, the root is ka, ma, ta, with ua (two) added—i.e., we two. The 
consonants are transposible in the respective different languages as I have 
shown in a previous paper. 
In the Continental races, analogues of the Malagasi, Malay, and 
Samoan, are found in Nepal, kai, ka, kani, goi, kayi, hami; in N.E. Bengal 
hami ; in E. Bengal, awe; in Burmah, kinni; in Central India, hame ; and 
in South India, yam nam. Of the Malay—in E. Nepal, ika; of Maori and 
Hawaiian—in Indo-China, rau, hau. 
The Javanese use the singular and plural equally, as aku, which is the 
Malay for I.
