The words in the first line are radically the same, the root being ii, ioi, 

 ii, ei, eia, the consonants being transposible according to the structm^e of 

 each language. The words in the second line are merely a variation of the 

 same root io.

 Tibet, cltidi, ani, yeni, di ; in Nepal, yehi, i ; in North-east Bengal, di, didi ;

 in Tibet, theni; in Nepal, i, issi, it; in East Bengal, hiha ; in Indo-China, 

 kia; in Central India, ana, ani, adu; and in Southern India, avu, adu, athu. 



It will be seen that Malagasi and Malay have transposed the terms 

 thus : itu, that, in Malay ; itoi, this, in Malagasi ; ini, this, m Malay ; ini, 

 that, in Malagasi. 



The Javanese expression is ika, which is radically the same as in other 

 Barat races.
