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% ini, inni; of Malay and the Polynesian tribes — 

 in Hihei, ja, jya ; in Nepal, aya,i; in Indo-China, nya, a'io ; 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.

In the first line, the root of the Malagasi, Malay, and Samoan, is evi- 

 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, ran, hau. 



The Javanese use the singular and plural equally, as aku, which is the 

 Malay for I.
