 lu tliis word there is no similarity of expression in the several Barat 



tribes, which is curious.

There is no analogy between the Polynesian and western tribes of Barat 

 in this word. Hawaiian is radically the same as Samoan and Maori, — the 

 k being transposible into t, and n to ng. The vocalic root of Malagasi and 

 Malay is oo, r and I being both deuto-palatals, and n being transposible 

 into ng. 



In the Coiitinental tribes, the analogues of Malagasi and Malay are 

 found in Central India, horo, ho, horl, koro.

The hohitra of Malagasi, and hikit of the Malay, in their respective 

 phonologies, are the same word. The Polynesian expressions stand 

 alone.
