The Malagas! analogy with Malaya and Polynesia is very distinct ; but 

 allowing for transference of consonants, the analogies between the latter 

 are very close. 



In the Continental races, analogues of the Malagasi are found in East 

 Nepal, khananin, khanai, liana nina, anai, hanani, hananin; of the Malay 

 and Polynesian dialects — in Indo-China, bintau, thu, khau; and of the Malay 

 kamu — in Nepal, kenmo. 



The Javanese term is koive or kaue, which assimilates to the Polynesian 

 dialects.

In Malagasi, Malay, and Samoan, ii, ia, ei, oi, are the roots of the 

 words ; the consonants taking their place according to the structure of each 

 language. In Malagasi and Malay, areo and orong are suffixes, probably 

 with the same meaning, which, m Malay, is men — dei-orong (literally, 

 they men). Samoan here appears, as it did in the first person plural, as 

 the junction between the West and Eastern dialects of the great Barat 

 language, by its using both expressions ; latou, in meaning, being a 

 reiteration of 'oi, — that is, they they. 



In the Continental races, the analogue of Malagasi, Malay, and Samoan 

 'oi is found in Nepal, usi, hosi ; and of the Samoan latou, Maori and 

 Hawaiian- — in Indo-China nyitau, Mauarai, msiukhau. 



In Javanese, the expression is dewe, assimilating to deia, the Malay third 

 person singular.
