APPENDIX I. 



Hog. — The two most wide-spread words for hog in the Indo-Pacific Islands 

 are: — 1st. PuaJca, huaka, pluiaJa; and 2nd. Wi, wavA, vxtwe, batvi, ct'hei, 

 babi, baboi, babo, babu, bui, baioi, bafi, fafi, bavu. The first is only found 

 in Poljmesia, and is of Thibeto-Indian origin — -jo/tft^ Thibet, jyhag Bhutan, 

 Limbu, Kiranti, Mikir, etc. ; wok, Kyen, Champhung, etc. ; loak Magar, 

 vak Naga, Garu ; piak, Chepang. The second is the most prevalent in 

 Indonesia, and is distinguished in all its variations from the first by the 

 absence of the k, or its substitute f, and is found on the continent in Suahili 

 (Africa) and Bonju (Trans-India) wed. Another African form — babalade, 

 Fulah ; bule, Serakoli ; — apparently joins this to another root, and has also its 

 direct Indonesian derivative in bulali, Buol. The same word, with the 

 vibratory form of the second consonant, is found in Suahili, burui ; to which 

 corresponds the burum of Erob (Torres Straits), which is also the nearest of 

 all the known Indonesian and African to the inverse form of the Malagasi, 

 lambu. A fourth African form — grti,, Suahili, gulu, Kwilimani, korio, 

 Kwamamyl, galgal, Galla — appears also to have its Indonesian derivative in 

 gir, Besisi (Malay Peninsula), Kis, Rajmahali, and in kuis in Batan. The 

 Indian, suar surka, etc., Kambojanj chur, cheruk, charuk, is found in 

 Viti, sara, and apparently' in Java, Bawian, and Bali, cheleng. It results 

 from the above that the hog is chiefly known in Indonesia by African names. 

 That the prevalence of these names, and the existence of the animal in the 

 wild state, prevented the permanent engraftment of the Thibetan on the 

 Indonesian vocabularies, but that the Thibeto-Annamese, who proceeded to the 

 eastward at an early period, carried the Thibetan name with them. I doubt 

 not, however, that the Thibetan form will be found in the Archipelago also. 



Bird. — The Malagasi voroiia, vurune, has been preserved in the burong, 

 burung, urong, of the Malay, Sandal (Borneo), and Sumba ; but this, and 

 other African words that previously existed, have in most of the languages 

 been displaced by the nok of Ultrai, with the common prefix ma (nianok), 

 New Zealand Maori, manu. The few other Indonesian forms are also Thibeto- 

 ludian^ or Ultra-Indian. Thus, the janga of the Bima is the jhango of the 

 Himalaya, Kiranti, and Mewar. The chim of the Besisi is the widely 

 prevalent word found from the land of the Gonds in India, sim to Anam, 

 chiin. — "Jour. I. Arch.," Yol. TV.
